Bangkok's Ratchathewi area is 200m from Siam Square and close to Pratunam. I'll show you the eating, drinking, bars, street food, graffiti park, lots of history, old cinemas, canal life and local soi life around this small but busy part of Bangkok.
The chances are you've visited at some time but simply forgotten about it as it's overshadowed by the shopping areas nearby at Pratunam and Siam. Take the tour and maybe you'll find yourself in this part of Bangkok very soon! Enjoy!
00:00 Start: Intro / Graffiti Park / Old cinemas / Local history
05:03 Asia Hotel haunted
06:53 Hua Chang Bridge / Graffiti at night / Gentrification of a soi / Hollywood Street / Nightlife, bars, food and drink
12:26 A local walk / Soi life / Khlong San Saep / Jim Thompson's house

Interesting video. I met my wife at the Jim Thompson House Museum, where she was working. She was actually 1st runner-up Miss Jim Thompson one year. Lol And to tie in a bit more with your video: Her father was a cinematographer, and helped make movies that were probably shown in those theaters.

Asia Hotel was a blast! Slept there for a few (days) nights. My son was a toddler at that time and he told me he saw a ghost outside our room in the hallway. Told my son to tell the ghost in the hallway, that the Aircon in our room wasn’t working properly. The next day it was ice cold in the room. 😁 The breakfast buffet during peak time was like a wasp nest. Never seen something like this before. Loved it, but as I said, just for a few days. Bangkok rocks!

The Graffiti park looks excellent, NY vibes, as does the bar area, which ive clocked before from the BTS, will definitely head down for beer. Shame about the old cinemas.

The 1st time I visited him was back in Christmas/New Year Holiday of 1985-86; this whole area was totally different back then & I still have the pictures that I took at that time. Phayathai Rd. was a divided avenue, all going one way southbound from the Victory Monument & this was a couple of decades before the Sky Train was installed, &, I remember riding across that khlong bridge in my relative's car a few times. I also remember that the roundabout at the Victory Monument didn't have traffic lights to control the traffic flow at that time as well; in a way, it was a smaller version of the infamous Arc De Triomphe Roundabout in Paris, Fr.
