Tao Poon is between the Chao Phraya River and Bang Sue train station, top new location for condos, with great links for trains, MRT, boats and buses, it's also a hub for some of the best street food in the city, along with a mall, markets, shops, restaurants, bars and coffee shops. There's a bit of local history to be told, canals to explore and local neighbourhoods to visit. Enjoy!

That old car is a Mercedes Benz 170S…they were produced from 1949 til 1955. The S stands for “Sonder model” or special model.

I have been living in this area since I moved to Thailand 13 years ago. Even at that time I chose it because it was close to both the MRT and the river. At the time I travelled to work at Siriraj by boat. Since then, with the opening of the purple and red lines at has become even better. When I moved here there was only one large condo building but many under construction. Now their are loads. There are also many beautiful walks along the canals in this area. I have seen a dead body in Klong Prapa once.

I recommend Ong Coffee Stand, he makes really good smoothie. You can also find really good restuarants near 7/11 too.

Ah Tao Poon… an area of memories. Though we did not live there, it was the junction of the main roads between Bangkok and Nonthaburi where my mom and her dad would pass through regularly. My sisters went to that school (Bhadungsit Pitthaya) back when it still had a high school English program. My grandmother spent her final years in Bang Pho Hospital. Near the Tao Poon Market is the original location of the Thipparot ice cream parlor that my parents frequented in their university years. Many family dinners at Vises Gaiyang, a classic cookshop restaurant at Bang Pho intersection. Got many home furnishings crafted at the shops on Wood Street (Pracha Rat Sai 1 Soi 24).

THE CAR IS: A Mercedes Benz 170 SB. I would estimate early 1950's. Parts quite difficult to find but collector car for sure. They drove smooth as silk, like a heavy tank riding on marshmallows. No fuel economy, just confort was the idea.

I've been living in Tao Poon area since 2013. So many things have changed since then...Until 2016, the last stop of the MRT blue line was Bang Sue, near the old railway station. Almost 90% of the condos, here were built after the growth of the transport network in the area, which facilitated the connection to downtown Bangkok. A good place to live at reasonable rents away from the crappy tourist areas. Good job Pat!

@octobersix 3 ай бұрын

I live (17 years) just north of you, a short moto-taxi ride to the Bang Sue Purple Line station. Pre-Covid I might bump into another foreigner maybe once every few months. Now I bump into them fairly often. Some are married to Thais. However, many found a "great" Airbnb close to the MRT providing "easy access to the city center". You can tell the tourists by the "where the heck am I" look! 😂😂😂

Thanks for another well presented video. I would happily visit Tao Poon for its markets, but honestly I do not warm to all those high rise condos, cement everywhere, and so on. Each part of Bkk seems all too familiar; there is not much variety in the architecture or the stores. Good that you can easily take boats from there, but no, I can't see myself living there. Thanks once again; you have a gift for interesting video presentations.

For similar price, I think Ha Yaek Ladprao is a more up and coming area with direct green line BTS to CBD, MRT intersection, big malls , night life scenes and large park. but yeah Ha Yaek Ladprao is up and coming in 5 years sure as some of the area are already developed and gentrified, but if you’re talking 5-10 years and are fond of river view then yes , I agree. Tao poon it is.
