When he turned the camera around and there were ten guys just standing there watching him I almost spit out my coffee. He said they all watch you there but I still thought they’d be more nonchalant about it. Not just standing right in front of him smiling and staring like he was putting on a show for them just by existing. That was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on KZfaq.

Some explanations from a Bangladeshi - --- In 12.03 mins, B&B offered a rickshaw puller to pick his rent, he took 200 BDT ($2) and said "vangti nai?" meaning - "don't you have any smaller note". Then B&B replied "ok? (is that enough?)", the rickshaw puller understand the word ok like any person of the world (without recognizing the "?") and he verbally replied "ok" (by shaking his head & hand). In 17.05 mins, B&B offer money (rent) to a boatman by showing a lot of Bangladeshi notes, the boatman pick the note which is in the top (100BDT= $1), then he discovered there are some smaller notes behind that and took 20+10+10 = 40 BDT = 40 cent, and return that 100 BDT = $1, meanwhile B&B got confused and said " you are taking all the money", then right after he understood the boatman is a honest person and praised him. At my best knowledge, the average income of such hardworking people is around 3 to 5 dollar a day (after working 8 plus hours).

The way Ben presents Backpacker Ben always killing me 😄

while I do miss those odd situations Bald got himself into with russian language skills and plenty of booze...he still manages to shine wherever he goes, beats 99% of travel shows ever made

You visited a small city called "Chandpur," situated at the confluence of the "Padma" and "Meghna" rivers. It boasts the largest wholesale Hilsa fish (National Fish) market in Bangladesh. In the early days, rivers were our primary means of transportation, so most of the biggest and oldest towns in Bangladesh are located alongside a river. People usually come to Chandpur to savor various dishes made with Hilsa fish because the flavor is unique. Unfortunately, you missed the best part of Chandpur, but it was wise not to eat at random places in Bangladesh. You can find many clean and safe restaurants/hotels in Dhaka where you should try Hilsa! We may not have a clean city, efficient transportation, and all the amenities, but the heartfelt hospitality and honesty you experience in this country are truly one of a kind! I've been following you since your India and Soviet tour vlogs, but it really gives me goosebumps to see you in my country having fun! *Most of the people were asking where you are from because our English skills are quite limited, and we can't ask much else, lol. and people reading this comment can ask my anything about this video/bangladesh, I'll try to reply

16:10 lmfaooo the huge crowd watching you sail away

This man's travels are insane! There is nothing like this on youtube. Thanks for sharing your travels with us! Cheers!

I like how grumpy backpacker Ben is and how optimist Bald is. It creates a nice synergy.

"What I like about Bangladesh is people just stand in front of you and stare at you" - LMAO. Dude, not kidding...., I'm a South Indian and when I visited some rural areas of Bengal (India), people were staring at me like I'm a foreigner. Apparently, I was the first South Indian they ever saw lol. So I can imagine how the good people of Bangladesh felt seeing a Brit after 75 years.

bald is so charismatic, hes almost magical in how he can interweave in any setting. a genius in his field, which is charm and charisma.

I could tell the rickshaw driver and the kid who mentioned the bazaar across the river both had really good hearts. I love the good natured people who help out travellers. Great vibes. Cheers baldies.

For an episode with “no content”… I was thoroughly entertained ! One of the best adventures yet ! I think Bangladesh needs you as their new Tourism minister 😂😂❤️

In Bangladesh always get help from locals in dealing with people specially from students and religious people. At the end of boat trip locals told the boat driver to take less money. This is a good tip for visitors from other countries.

The city you visited is called Chandpur, pronounced like "chad-pur". The park is a tourist attraction because it is situated right beside the confluence of three rivers: Padma, Meghna, and Dakatia. These rivers converge here and flow southward as a single river, eventually emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The other side of the river is called 'Puran Bazar' which translates to 'Old Market'. It was a famous business hub back when the river was the primary way of transportation. At peak monsoon, the triple confluence becomes a dangerous whirlpool. Small boats, even those equipped with engines, often cannot pass by the junction at that time of the year. And yes, the city is renowned for its Hilsa fish. Fish from the southern parts of the country arrive here before being distributed to other regions along with the local catch.

"this place has 0 content". Honestly that is the magic of your videos. I get so entertained with watching the boring nothing of other places I would never go in my life and how everyone is as confused as you trying to help you😂 I love it!!

The people looking and smiling and just staring is hilarious. They seem so gentle and sweet. Note when Bald held up a wad of money to pay, they took what looked like the exact amount. While I would never go there in a million years, I’m impressed how chill the people are.

“No meningitis today, thank you. Thank you, maybe later” Now that was pure comedy gold, Ben. Thank you for the good laugh.

The “dog having a shit in the river” killed me.

Ben, YOU are the content, whether being led into a corrugated iron shop, or being stared at by the locals. Thank you so very much for these wonderful videos!

As much as I miss Bald’s classic Soviet trips, an outing to South Asia after the series in India all those years ago was much needed… his perspective, vibes and interactions with the locals will forever be great! Bonus that he’s finally visiting my motherland too 😛🇧🇩

2 uploads in 1 week? You are truly blessing us Mr Bald!!

Bald, your content has to be by far, the most spontaneous, captivating, and yet informative all and much more. Your love for other cultures is wonderfully pronounced as you share your journeys with us while respecting the culture of the people and make them a very big part of your production. You are amongst my all time favorites! Also enjoy the great laughter mixed within your brilliant way of shooting your content, one of the best by far. Keep up your uniqueness and special way with individuals. Blessings Kim from Canada 🙏

I have genuinely not laughed out loud at a video on KZfaq as much as I have watching Bald’s adventures in Bangladesh. This place is wild.

I'm always amused that what Ben considers "no content," I'm just sitting here watching it utterly entertained by everything lol. It's the spontaneity of it all. The only thing I'm missing is a bit better communication as with his other videos, but this still sits nice, with me sipping my coffee and smiling at his experiences as usual.

It's not about the content. Many other channels also have got great Bangladesh travel videos. But, it's about the way Bald presents his videos that make them so enjoyable and worth watching. 😊😊

“If I don’t catch colera in the next couple of days”. I laughed hard when he said that. What a country!

As a Scandinavian who loves cleanliness and has social anxiety this looks like hell on earth.

this dude is a straight legend

That Rickshaw guy was very honest. He even told you that he didn't have any change but later he figure that you'd given him a tip. The district you visited is Chandpur. It's famous for a certain fish that's called Ilish or Hilsha. Ilish is the national fish of Bangladesh. If you have the chance of tasting this fish, do give it a try. There are fancy restaurants that you can visit if you're too scared of getting stomach flu.

Wow, I rarely heard anything bad about Bangladesh. I want to visit Bangladesh so much. Love Bangladesh from Indonesia

The social anxiety would be bad enough for me, but the noise, I just couldn't handle all the horns, sirens, hammers hitting metal, yelling, etc.

What an interesting viewpoint of Bangladesh. Every person he encounters seems to want to display the best representation of their country. All the people seem to be helpful, polite, curious, and excited. The wave off was epic! It's great seeing random people coming up to Bald and saying "I'm a subscriber", all across the world.

You said "no content"...but that girl discovering you on the boat is my all-time favorite moment on your show! You made her month🥰🤩

The people in Bangladesh really do seem very friendly and kind. Lots of hard working people in a tough place to survive. Wish the best toall Bangladeshis from Taiwan.

Watching my favorite youTuber come to Bangladesh and experiencing our culture makes me so happy, wish I could meet him

That cruise looked far more comfortable than the boat in South America. Ben's random curiousity in jumping in a tricycle and asking the driver where are we going rather than giving directions.

"and to prove that point, here's a statue.. of a fish" that was hilarious 😂

The Bangladeshis in England have won the lotto jackpot

You're a better man than I, gunga din! To coin a phrase. Humidity, heat, filth, out of the park noise, chaos, masses of people (and thank goodness we don't have smelly-vision!) - I'd die in three seconds flat! Kudos to you my man, for doing this, so I don't have to!

Having Bald back in the KZfaq fray, is like a breath of fresh air. You've been missed my man.

It’s not possible for a video to give me extreme anxiety and absolute joy at the same time, but Bald delivers on both! 😬❤️

that was adorable at 15:10 he tried so hard to figure out the word in English

Never stop ur show it's so entertaining

The 'random' Argentina flag it is because the Bangladeshi are big football fans! And as I was told by some of them, most support either Argentina or Brazil. During the 2022 World Cup, Bangladeshi fans supported Argentina like no other foreign country! Being Argentinean, this was amazing to see and we are very thankful for it. I hope our national team will go and play in Bangladesh one day (especially before Messi retires), your people deserve it!

I honestly burst out laughing when you flipped the camera and those people just stood there😂😂😂😂 What a goofy country, feels like a weird Family guy episode

These are the happiest people I've ever seen in your videos.

I like how wherever he went it always sounded and felt like the world was ending. with sirens and horns and people hustling everywhere

It's always nice to see locals being so friendly and welcoming...

I seriously spit my drink out in laugher when he said ppl stare at you and he turned the camera around to a whole group of ppl standing right in front of him staring Freaking hysterical!!!

i love how you close the cabin door with the key and shut the window closed, so there is really no sense for that key xD you still get inside through the window. brilliant work right there

I cannot believe the amount of noise pollution in Bangladesh. I would go deaf in no time if I lived there. Thank you Mr Bald for showing me a place in the world that I will never visit. I appreciate your sacrifice. Thank you.

Now I’m really looking forward to a very disgruntled video of Backpacker Ben. Really Love your „two sides of a trip“ videos from the craziest of places everywhere .

You're the KZfaqr that finds rocks and turns them into diamonds. Unbelievable your spirit is so strong and you turn what would be rough rocks into their inner shining diamond. You deserve all that you have and then some! Thank you for all the content you have provided me over the years.

I'd say this channel is quickly becoming my favorite travel channel, but honestly, at this point, it's simply moved into a league of its own.

It is insane how you can just hold a wad of cash out and these people take what’s fair and don’t fleece you. It’s actually crazy.

This is hilarious😂 so much going on at all times

The village side of Bangladesh is indeed peaceful and has beautiful green scenery. It's a great place to connect with nature and experience the tranquility. 🌿🌾

I love sitting back and feeling as if I am experiencing a different culture from my living room. Genuinely one of the best to do this content, if not THE best.

I lost it when he walked into the iron shop, «i’m interested in buying everything that you got in the shop» 😂

Glad to see you back :)

for those who don't travel: his opening said it all. You get so so excited from day to day but what it all does to your body is BRUTAL. Traveling to third world countries is great but you have no idea how taxing it is on your body because it's been so pampered by a lifetime of clean water and unspoiled food, mostly clean air, etc..

What a nightmare! Full respect to Ben, you deserve every penny you make on these videos!!!

4:56 I don't know much Bangla but I can figure out what she said here, it's "Dekho Bideshi Manush" which means, "Look a foreigner man".

Muslim greeting and that lovely handshake captured my heart. How he took bald's right hand with his left hand and had a handshake with his paralysed right hand, he can't do it properly anymore,but still he greeted. That was very sweet

Thank you Bald for your Humorous Banter with the Calm, Friendly folks of Bangladesh. Safe Travels

You know it's going to be a good day when you catch a new VID from Mr. Bald 🤪. Love being able to travel to different parts of the world while staying right at home!

Its crazy how hectic India and Bangladesh are, I honestly cant imagine living there. Thank you for the content, S tier as always.

Thanks for visiting Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ❤️

That crank motor like the very old cars was cool to see ❤

It’s always a good day when the big B&B uploads!

“Sometimes in life you gotta go with the flow, see what happens.” Words to live by.

I like how he acts like a boss even in intense situations.

I love these reveals when you bring in your sometimes travel mates. They're always so fun. Cracked up when I saw Backpacker Ben.

I don't care where you go...you make it so enjoyable. You were like a king to them and they treated you as such . You were also very gracious and hilarious.

I am your subscriber also..from Bangladesh... And right now i am your big fan...i have seen several experience from you..

binged watching Bald on Christmas day lol 😎👌🏼

I'm amazed how this guy can can keep me so entertained even when he is only walking in random places. Really the best channel on youtube

this mans confidence to vlog in the sight of so many eyes is inspiring

Thank you For visited Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩

The level of authenticity bro brings in his videos is unrivaled.

Bengali-American from NYC here. Thanks for visiting BD Ben! (flag) -The Argentina and Brazil national football teams have a unique almost religious following in BD.

The 7 people staring when you turned the camera was amazing 😂

Your content is second to none!! Thank you so much for going to these places less traveled and showing the rest of us what it is like!! I hope to be able to travel to parts unknown like this one day too!

You said 0 content but honestly the kindness of these people is the content! enjoying this one

I liked how honest the people are.

When you turned the camera around @6:38, I burst out laughing. Good stuff.

I fear KZfaq has stopped giving me alerts and recommendations! Can't believe I missed all this! Love the channel, Bald! :)

Dont say there isnt content! Exploring and meeting people is always interesting.

Bloody hot outside, all alone at work (everyone is on vacation) and seriously bored. Luckily Mr bald decides to upload something! Great timing

Thanks for showing us the places we never want to visit but still want to see ❤

Amazing video but my god is it noisy over there, id go nuts if it was that hectic and chaotic all day with no break from it

The takeaway from your many journeys, the general population are very friendly and respectful. Love this channel.

17:00 what a compliment to the Bangladeshi people mate !

This is def CONTENT, don't underestimate the value these exploration videos bring. It is perspective for many.

On the contrary I really enjoyed seeing that small riverside town with the corrugate metal shop and masjid and crank motor boat. Great content especially seeing people take an honest amount of money

Whenever he knocks on the door and finds Ben it reminds me of the beginning of an adult film. The guy opens the door and caches her doing whatever. 😅 Let's pray that doesn't happen to poor Ben!

16:52 The very best part of the video and I am proud Bangladeshi

You are more than words. Thank you for all you are doing for us .

Ben is always so depressed, thankfully bald always brings up the mood

I am amazed - after living in east Africa- how clean the streets appear.
