01:22.6
Pero wait! Before you leave your hotel,
01:25.0
make sure you're appropriately dressed
01:26.8
kasi you'll be visiting temples na nag-i-implement ng strict dress code.
01:31.4
Bawal yung mga short shorts, short skirts, mini skirts, tight-fitting trousers,
01:37.2
mga pantalo na may butas, bawal ang sando, vest, tsaka yung mga sleeveless shirts,

bawal yung mga see-through na damit, and bawal ang sandals or chinelas.

02:05.3
or yung orange flag boat na 15 baht yung pamasahe.
02:09.1
And baba ka sa Tachang Pier.
02:11.9
Mula doon, malalakad mo na ang Grand Palace Complex.
02:15.4
Go straight to the main entrance and don't entertain anyone
02:18.6
na magsasabi sa'yo na sarado yung site kasi holiday or may event or kung anuman yan.
02:24.0
Scammers yan, mga te.
02:25.7
Basta pasok ka lang diretsyo.
02:27.5
May guard na magchecheck ng suot mo,
02:29.3
and kung di pasado, pwede kang bumili ng pants sa building na katabi.
02:33.3
Katabing-katabi lang naman.
02:35.0
Dati, meron silang mga for rent na pantalon,
02:38.1
pero siguro dahil sa pandemic, for sale na lang yung available.
02:42.1
200 baht bawat isa.
02:44.6
Yung ticket sa Grand Palace ay 500 baht,
02:47.3
pero kasama na dyan ang access sa Temple of the Emerald Buddha,
02:51.5
ilang mga museums,
02:52.6
and pati sa isang traditional Thai dance show.
02:56.1
10 minutong lakad lang pa south and mararating mo naman ang Wat Pho,
03:00.0
best known for the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand,
03:03.2
kasama na ang higanting 46-meter reclining Buddha na nakakamangha talaga.
03:08.8
Sa labas naman ay maraming ornate na chedis or stupas.
03:12.6
Ang entrance fee ay 200 baht,
03:14.6
na kasama na dyan yung bottled water
03:17.0
na pwede mong i-claim sa mga automated machines sa loob using your ticket.
03:22.2
After Wat Pho, walk a bit towards the river hanggang marating mo itong stall na to.
03:27.2
Dito, pwede kang bumili ng boat ticket papunta sa kabila ng ilog.
03:32.6
Anong meron sa kabila?
03:34.2
Well, ito, ang Wat Arun,
03:36.7
probably the most recognizable landmark dito sa Bangkok.
03:40.0
Meron itong 70-meter tall spire or prang which is intricately decorated all over.
03:45.7
After getting off the boat,
03:47.0
follow mo lang yung crowd papunta sa main gate where you can purchase a ticket.
03:51.1
Ang ticket ay 100 baht bawat isa, may kasama na ulit na bottled water.
03:55.8
Known to locals as Wat Cheng or Temple of Dawn,
03:58.7
it is believed na narating ito na King Taksin just before sunrise after leaving Ayutthaya.
04:04.2
He then made the place the chief temple and dati itong tahana ng precious emerald Buddha
04:09.3
and pati na rin yung Prabang, isa pang sagradong image.
04:12.9
By the way, kung mapapansin nyo,
04:14.6
nilalagay namin yung information about each attraction dito sa side
04:18.5
na nagather namin during our visit.
04:20.6
Pero pwedeng magbago ang mga details na to
04:22.8
so please double-check with authorities first before your trip
04:25.8
para makapagplan kayo ng mas maayos.
04:29.0
Bukod sa mga ornate spires and temples,
04:33.0
kilala rin ang Bangkok for its floating markets.
04:35.8
But the truth is, itong mga boat-navigated markets na to
04:38.7
ay actually located outside the capital.
04:41.4
Dalawa sa pinaka-accessible at pinakasikat
04:44.0
ay itong gamnoen Saduak Floating Market and ang Ampawa Floating Market.
04:48.6
May kanya-kanya silang charms and specialties na may offer sa visitors.
04:53.2
Para ma-explore mo yung market canals na ito,
04:55.6
kailangan mong sumakay ng maliit na bangka,
04:57.8
which makes the experience fun and interesting.
05:00.2
Marami rin mga souvenir and food options.
05:03.8
Isa pang dinara yung market ay itong Meklong Railway Market.
05:07.1
Yes, railway, kasi palengke along the railways ang eme dito.
05:11.4
And when a train chugs along,
05:12.9
maaliw ka sa kung paano iligpit ng mga vendors yung mga bubong at paninda nila.
05:17.8
Pwede ka rin mag-chill sa isa sa mga railway cafes dito
05:20.6
or mag-picture-picture with the train sa station.
05:23.4
Klook has tours na magkasama itong Meklong Railway Market
05:26.6
at saka yung either Damnoen or Ampawa Market.
05:30.0
There are several departure times available,
05:32.2
so choose the most convenient option for you.
05:34.7
Lalagyan namin yung link sa description and sa pinned comment na rin
05:38.2
kung interested kang mag-book or para makita mo yung mga rates.
05:44.2
At 314 meters tall,
05:46.2
ang King Power Mahanakhon ay isa sa pinakamatangkad na building sa Thailand.
05:50.9
From the outside, may stulan itong pixelated na skyscraper.
05:54.6
Pero inside, marami itong mga paandar.
05:57.4
Una na dyan ang multimedia elevator na to
05:59.7
na magdadala sayo to the highest outdoor observation deck in the country.
06:04.4
Pero yung elevator ride pa lang experience na talaga.
06:07.8
And pagdating mo sa taas,
06:09.6
sasalubungin ka ng magnificent view of Bangkok and surrounding areas.
06:14.1
But most visitors are here for this.
06:16.7
Ito yung skywalk.
06:18.5
Sky kasi tingnan nyo,
06:20.4
gawa sa glass ang sahig ng isang section nito na nakausli sa tuktok ng building.
06:25.0
Pwede kang maglaka dito or umaura-aura dito sa glass.
06:29.0
Medyo lurky, medyo kasyokot, pero masayang experience naman.
06:33.6
You just need to wear the shoe covers na ipoprovide naman nila on-site.
06:37.4
Bawal ang cellphones and iba pang loose items within the glass tray area.
06:41.7
Ibig sabihin, hindi ka pwede mag-selfie habang nakatapa ka sa glass.
06:45.6
Kung picture-picture talaga ang habol mo,
06:47.9
best to visit with a kumpanyon.
06:50.1
Tapos magsalitan kayo sa pagtapak doon sa glass,
06:52.6
tapos yung isa yung magpipicture.
06:54.4
Pero if you're traveling alone,
06:55.9
hanap ka ng iba pang mag-isa,
06:57.6
tapos mag-offer ka na picturean sila,
06:59.5
tapos pagkatapos nun, magpapicture ka rin.
07:02.0
Ganun lang, unto unto others, unto unto you.
07:04.8
Only a limited number of tickets are sold per day,
07:07.4
so it's best to book in advance.
07:10.2
No trip to Bangkok is complete
07:12.2
without getting a taste of its famous or infamous nightlife.
07:16.3
In our previous video, nabanggit ko ng very light lang ang Khaosan Road,
07:19.9
the Backpacker Mecca.
07:21.8
And yes, it is crowded, loud, and wild.
07:25.7
Kapag naglalakad ka dito,
07:27.0
you'll be greeted by thunderous music from nightclubs
07:29.4
and the delicious smell of street food
07:31.8
na may ring tao, mostly backpackers and turista talaga.
07:35.8
But aside from Khaosan,
07:37.6
But aside from Khaosan,
07:39.0
meron pang ibang mga nightlife districts ang Bangkok.
07:42.2
Most clubs and bars are safe,
07:44.0
but as in any other major city,
07:46.2
may mga stories about tourists entering a bar
07:48.5
tapos hindi pinapalabas
07:49.8
without paying for a ridiculously overpriced drink.
07:53.7
So if you want to try Bangkok nightlife
07:55.9
and you want to make sure na you're in good hands,
07:58.4
join a guided tour.
07:59.8
Merong dalawang options sa kluk.
08:01.7
Yung isa ay bar hopping tour,
08:03.8
parang pub crawl ganyan.
08:05.3
Tapos yung isa naman, hangover tour ang tawag.
08:08.2
Hangover kasi bibisitahin nyo yung mga bars
08:11.0
na na-feature sa Hangover 2 na movie na set sa Bangkok.
08:14.9
Kasama yung pingpong show dyan kung curious kayo dyan.
08:18.6
Lalagay namin ulit yung link sa description and sa pinned comment.
08:22.2
As for me, mas pinili ko na lang na magjoin sa pub crawl
08:25.4
na organized ng hostel kung saan ako nagstay.
08:28.1
Nagstart yung tour sa in-house bar
08:29.6
and then made our way on foot to Khaosan Road
08:31.8
para mag-hop from one bar to another.
08:34.2
Ang saya lang, sobrang saya, hindi ko makakalimutan.
08:37.1
Dami ko rin kasing mga nakilala.
08:39.8
Okay, the next few items are about shopping spots.
08:42.7
So before that, may additional tip ako para mas makapag-budget ka.
08:46.8
Enter Lista, ang sponsor ng video na to.
08:53.0
Ang Lista ay money management app
08:55.4
na pwede mong gamitin para tulungan kang makapag-ipon
08:58.3
and bantayan ang expenses mo.
09:00.2
We've been using it for quite a while now
09:02.2
and ngayon may bago pa silang feature, ang budget tracker.
09:06.2
Simple, powerful, and incredibly useful
09:09.0
lalo na para sa mga budget-conscious travelers tulad natin.
09:12.2
With this new tool, you can watch your expenses,
09:14.8
savings, and budget para sa mga wants mo like travel.
09:19.0
Just enter magkano ang kita mo every month or every payday
09:22.2
and magkano usually yung expenses mo in life.
09:25.0
Kasama na dyan yung food, transport, and rent.
09:28.6
Tapos, you can also set how much you want to add to your savings
09:32.1
para ma-force ka rin na mag-ipon.
09:34.2
And the rest, yan yung funds mo para sa mga luho mo.
09:38.0
This way, mas ma-achieve mo yung mga travel goals mo
09:40.9
without compromising mong mga essentials and savings
09:43.7
na dapat naman talaga natin pinaprioritize in the first place
09:47.0
as strong independent travelers.
09:49.1
Sabi, basta kapag may kailangan i-budget, ilista mo lang.
09:53.4
You can download Lista sa App Store or Google Play Store.
09:56.7
Ilalagay na rin namin ang download link sa description ng video na to.
09:59.7
So click nyo na lang yun.
10:01.3
And yun, mag-budget-budget na tayo.
10:07.1
Aside from nightlife and partying,
10:09.1
pak na pak din mag-shopping sa Bangkok
10:11.4
thanks to diverse markets and super low prices.
10:14.7
Here, you'll find bargain centers, fashion halls,
10:17.6
shopping malls, and weekend markets
10:19.8
na lahat ay dinadagsan ng mga locals and tourists alike.
10:23.8
But perhaps my favorite shopping area is Pratunam sa Ratchatui District.
10:28.7
It is one of the biggest wholesale garment markets in the country
10:32.2
na meron ding indoor and outdoor shopping areas
10:35.4
na nagsasell ng all sorts of products
10:37.8
from clothes to toiletries to medicine, ganyan.
10:42.1
Dito, may dalawang pagkakalaking shopping malls
10:45.2
bursting to the seams with retail shops.
10:47.8
Fashionistas will have a field day sa Platinum Fashion Mall
10:51.2
housing a multi-level garment labyrinth
10:53.5
composed of over 2,500 stores lang naman.
10:57.0
Iba-iba ang mga tinda dito.
10:58.6
Yung first three floors are mostly for women's fashion,
11:01.8
although may mga nakikita rin akong men's wear shops
11:04.2
every dozen stalls or so.
11:06.2
Pero most men's stores ay nasa fourth floor talaga.
11:10.3
Yung isa pang higanting mall dito sa Platinum neighborhood ay ito,
11:14.2
ang Palladium World Shopping Mall or simply Palladium,
11:18.1
which sells mostly tech stuff like gadgets, electronics,
11:21.4
phone accessories, cameras, and the like.
11:23.6
But you'll also find other products like apparel,
11:26.5
suitcases, and jewelry.
11:28.8
Dito sa Platinum, most of the stores cater to both
11:31.9
wholesalers and retail customers.
11:33.9
So wag mahiya if gusto mong bumili ng isa o dalawa lang.
11:37.2
Pwede naman kasi talaga yung tingi.
11:39.3
That said, mas makakasulit ka kung maramihan talaga.
11:42.8
Kaya ang ginagawa namin is bumibili kami as a group
11:45.7
para ma-avail namin yung mga promos.
11:48.0
So kunyari, apat kami, tapos bawat isa may nagustuhang shirt,
11:51.7
bibili namin yung apat na shirts na yun
11:54.3
ng isang transaksyon lang para ma-avail talaga namin yung mga discounts.
12:01.2
Kung di ka pa nagsasawa sa pamimili, punta ka rin dito.
12:04.7
Welcome to Chatuchak Market, which has been operating since 1942.
12:10.0
Composed of over 15,000 stalls,
12:13.0
maituturing na ito ang largest and most diverse weekend market sa mundo.
12:17.8
Ito rin daw ang pinakabisi sa buong Thailand.
12:21.0
Anong meron dito?
12:22.2
Well, you'll find the full gamut of products imaginable,
12:25.3
grouped into 30 sections.
12:27.0
May mga damit, maraming maraming maraming damit.
12:30.2
Meron ding books, antiques, accessories, art pieces, flowers, souvenirs,
12:34.7
and home decors among others.
12:37.2
So to make the most of your time,
12:39.0
picturean mo itong map na ito sa entrance
12:41.2
and let it guide you while you shop.
12:43.2
Nga pala, may tatlong entrance gates.
12:45.2
So make sure na tandaan nyo kung saang entrance kayo pumasok
12:48.6
para alam nyo rin kung saan kayo magkikita-kita
12:50.9
just in case mag-decide kayo na maghiwa-hiwalay ng kasama mo.
12:54.5
So kung isa lang yung pwede mong puntahan na shopping area,
12:57.8
mas okay ba sa Pratunam or Chatuchak?
13:01.0
Yung Chatuchak weekend market, obviously, weekend lang bukas.
13:04.5
So kung halimbawa, nandun ka ng Monday to Friday,
13:08.7
di wala ka namang choice.
13:09.9
Mas pumunta ka na lang sa Pratunam.
13:11.8
Pero kung weekend, ang napansin ko kasi,
13:14.6
mas mura talaga dito sa Chatuchak.
13:17.4
Pero, pagdating sa mga damit,
13:19.4
mas diverse yung selection sa Pratunam, lalo na sa Platinum Mall.
13:23.3
Mas maraming, basta mas magkakaiba yung mga tinda nila.
13:26.5
Kasi dito sa Chatuchak, at least sa mga napuntahan ko,
13:29.6
marami sa mga stores, para-para akong binabenta.
13:32.3
Sa Platinum kasi, iba-iba talaga.
13:35.2
So mas nag-enjoy ako mamili sa Platinum.
13:38.0
Tapos aircon pa yun, so mas komportable.
13:40.6
Ayun, medyo mainit kasi nung huling visit namin.
13:43.7
So kung gusto nyo ng aircon, dun kayo sa Platinum.
13:46.6
Kung magutom ka, and believe me, magugutom ka talaga,
13:50.3
marami namang mga food stalls clustered near Entrance 1.
13:54.0
So ito yung area na to.
13:55.3
So marami dyan, maraming mga pika-pika,
13:58.2
meron ding mga full meals talaga.
14:00.7
Pero meron ding mga food kiosks sa loob,
14:03.1
like itong Muye Ma...
14:06.8
Like itong Muyang Mesumonta,
14:09.8
serving mouthwatering and succulent muyang or grilled pork
14:14.2
na 60 baht per 100 grams.
14:16.8
Mahanap mo ito sa Google Maps as
14:18.7
Roasted Honey Glazed Pork Mesumonta.
14:22.4
Now that we're on the topic of food...
14:27.2
Ewan ko sa'yo, pero para sa akin,
14:29.1
isa talaga ang Thailand sa mga bansang
14:31.0
may pinaka-masasarap na cuisine sa buong mundo.
14:34.2
Siguro nasa top 3 ko yan pagdating sa pagkain.
14:37.1
Kaya hindi ako umaalis ng Bangkok
14:39.3
nang hindi ako nagpapakabusog ng malala.
14:42.6
We already published a separate video
14:44.6
describing in detail yung mga nagustuhan namin
14:46.6
mga kainan in the city.
14:48.2
Pero here's a quick rundown of the eateries
14:50.6
na natry namin na may Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition.
14:54.1
Una na dyan itong Tip Samay,
14:55.8
kung saan namin natikman ang pinaka-masarap na Pad Thai so far.
15:00.7
Ito rin daw yung unang store na nag-serve nitong dish na to.
15:03.9
And ngayon, siguro ito yung pinakasikat na noodle dish talaga ng Thailand.
15:08.8
Ang version nila uses rice noodles na mas manipis
15:12.2
and coated in shrimp oil.
15:14.4
Wag mo rin imiss itong Jeo Chula or Jeo
15:17.6
for the best affordable Tom Yum Noodle Soup.
15:20.3
Sobrang crowd-favorite ito
15:21.8
and pwedeng umabot ng 2 hours ang itatagal mo sa pila
15:25.0
unless agahan mo.
15:26.1
Tulad namin, inagahan namin.
15:27.6
Hindi na kami halos pumila.
15:29.8
Pero kahit pumila ka, the wait is worth it.
15:33.0
Yung Tom Yum Mama nila can feed 2 to 4 persons
15:36.2
and hala, sobrang sarap!
15:38.2
Lalo na itong Crispy Pork Belly Toppings.
15:40.8
Orderin mo na rin itong Salmon Salad.
15:43.0
Warning though, malaim-pierno ang anghang ng mga dishes dito.
15:46.2
So kung feeling mo hindi mo carry, sabihan mo sila na mild lang.
15:50.4
Itong Polo Fried Chicken naman ay Michelin-recognized din,
15:53.8
located across Lumpini Park sa Silom area.
15:57.1
Dati itong humble street stall lang na nag-level up na
16:00.3
into a proper eatery, serving a few Thai favorites.
16:04.1
Dami namin inorder dito, and lahat ay hindi nag-disappoint,
16:07.8
lalo na yung kanilang signature fried chicken and papaya salad
16:11.4
with salted egg and dried shrimp.
16:14.2
Kung mapapadpad ka naman sa Pratonam area,
16:16.7
try Kuang Heng Chicken Rice and Go Ang Pratonam Chicken Rice.
16:20.4
Itong Go Ang lang yung may Michelin Bib Gourmand Citation,
16:23.5
pero honestly, mas na-enjoy namin yung Kuang Heng.
16:26.6
But they both serve tender and delicious Hainanese chicken.
16:30.2
Yung Kuang Heng also takes pride in its pork satay and fried chicken.
16:35.4
Okay, so stop na muna ako dito kasi baka sa kadadada ako about Thai food,
16:40.0
eh bigla akong mapabok ulit ng flight pa Bangkok.
16:43.8
And we haven't even discussed yung mga theme parks
16:46.4
and yung Muay Thai and yung other shrines and temples.
16:50.0
Hindi pa rin natin natatouch yung mga day trip destinations
16:52.6
like Ayutthaya and Pattaya.
16:54.3
