Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Im in the process of checking out some Bangkok attractions to include in my new version of my Bangkok eBook and so today Ying and I headed out for a day of sightseeing and eating in Bangkok. For more information about visiting Bangkok visit and Ive described each place we visited in this Bangkok vlog with a time code so you can jump to one of those place if youd need to. 1: 38 Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall ) We started at Victory Monument, and from there we jumped in a bus and rode to an area called Dusit to go to our first stop: Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall. From where the bus dropped us off, we walked through the Vimanmek Mansion (another amazing Bangkok attraction you should visit) to get there. The Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall ) was built by the King of Thailand who at the time had just come back from Europe. So as you can see from the appearance and architecture of the building if has a lot of European influence, yet at the same time the overall materials and structure remains traditional Thai. 2: 28 Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall ) From the Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall ) we continued on just a short distance to the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall, another iconic attraction in Bangkok. The Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall ) is the official Royal Throne Hall, and its still used today, so thats why its very strict for dress code and for taking photo (or not allowing for taking photos inside. Once you pay the entrance fee, which cost 150 Thai Baht, you can then go inside and take a tour. Inside youll find an impressive collection of Royal Thai memorabilia, including a range of Royal thrones, a beautiful collection of artwork, and you can also just admire the overall beauty of the construction and architecture of the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall. From the outside, the Neoclassical building looks like it could be somewhere in Europe, but step inside and look up at the paintings and murals on the walls, and youll know youre in Thailand. It was my first time to visit the Throng Hall, and it was well worth visiting, a pretty amazing attraction to see. 3: 47 Thai boat noodles at Kuay Teow Nai Beum ) After visiting both Throne Halls, we were starting to get hungry, so being in Dusit we took a walk over to a restaurant to eat Thai boat noodles, one of the most popular versions of Thai noodles. It was my first time to visit this boat noodle restaurant, but it was very good. Some of the central boat noodle restaurants, especially at boat noodle alley have been losing their flavor in the last few years, but this restaurant was excellent. 7: 17 Fried pork at May Da Moo Tod ) Right around the corner from where we ate boat noodles, Ying and I went to get some fried pork and sticky rice, a place wed been a few years ago, so decided to go again. It was delicious. 10: 14 Bangkok National Museum I had always seen the Bangkok National Museum from the outside but never gone inside, so today we went to the Bangkok National Museum. After paying my entrance fee of 200 Thai Baht, which I think is well worth the price, we walked around the different galleries. Its an impressive museum with a huge collection and if you enjoy museums, this is one of the Bangkok attractions you dont want to miss. 12: 18 Sala Calermkrung Royal Theater ) Finally to end the long day in Bangkok we bought tickets at Sala Calermkrung Royal Theater ) to attend a Thai traditional theater performance of Hanuman. The show, which lasted for 2 hours and showed a lot of Thai culture through theater, was really good. I would highly recommend it. Our entrance price tickets were 800 THB

Mark, I too am enjoying the new production elements in your new Vlogs. New music, new camera angles. Etc. are you using a new camera? The resolution seems a bit better. The fried pork skin you put in your soup is a very popular snack here in the Southern United States, and Mexico. It is called Cracklings, Craklins or Chiccharrons in Spanish. They are eaten like chips out of a bag. They are lightly salted and usually crumbled up when added to a soup. I guess fried pork skin is a universal treat and found in many, many cultures. Keep up the great and informative work. Thanks Bud Miller

Hi Mark, I'm actually going to be heading to Thailand in a month I am going to try to eat at the places you've been at, but as a single (woman) traveler is there anything I should be aware of? Also, is there enough English so it isn't too hard for foreigners to get around I will be taking AirAsia in and I told the bus system isn't great. I've been following your blog/website as to what to do. Thank you so much for posting all these great videos, I will be probably eating nonstop the entire trip

Hi Mark, I love Thai Boat Noodle Soup Unfortunately, not all Thai restaurants in California do it right. I have a favorite place where it is as authentic as it gets. A big bowl cost 8. 50 USD and it's to die for About 10 years ago I went to a nice place in Bangkok for boat noodle soup, and I had 5 bowls at 35 cents each.

Love your new vlog style, it's like having a personal tour guide. Still, if I can ever get there I'll have a list of places to visit that'll take weeks to see. Do you ever get any recognition from the Thai tourist department for how much of their work you're doing for them?

It's kind of funny. A person travels all over tasting food. While so many really wonderful foods are found. Right out your back door so to speak, you find maybe the best. When the broth was in the ladle I could tell it would be really good. Looked so good
