My First Time in Modern BANGKOK (I was Shocked)

If you're thinking about a trip to Thailand, be sure to check out this area of Modern Bangkok! Bangkok is one of the most visited places in the world, and for good reason. This bustling city is bursting with culture, architecture and shopping. In this video, I'm sharing my first time in modern Bangkok, including my thoughts on the city, the huge modern shopping malls, Bangkok's incredible transport systems and the amazing food. I started my journey outside my hotel near Ratchadamri Rd and Phloen Chit Rd. It wa a beautfiul hot day again on the streets of Bangkok, Thailand. So I first needed to get a refreshing caffeinated beverage before we set off on our journey. I then ordered a very convenient grab bike to our first location, the pier. The journey on the grab bike was really interesting, it's kind of like a free tour around the city as you make your way to your destination, highly recommend! After arrival I felt the hard working driver deserved a little tip, especially when he's driving in this midday sun. I then made my way to the pier, to buy a ticket and to my suprise it was for free! After a short wait the ferry, I boarded and sailed across to the other side of the river and we reached the magnificant Icon Siam mall. Upon entering the mall is was truly breathtaking. A lot of people have preconceived notions when thinking about Thailand, that it's a poor country and people live in shacks. But it's simply not the case. The Icon Siam is truly a remarkable place to visit, I found inside all the top luxury brands you can imagine and also a Porsche dealership! I'm from the UK and this mall wipes the floor with anything we have there. I managed to acquire a lovely iced Americano from a store called %. It really tasted quite nice. After my mall adventure I made my way to Bangkok's modern sky train, initially I headed in the wrong direction, but then managed to make my way to transfer at the BTS station and we went to Siam Central. Inside the trains is really quite comfortable with the AC and modern seating. I decided to jump off at Chong Nonsi station to catch a glimpse of my favourite building in all of Bangkok, it was quite spectacular! After a short journey through Siam Paragon mall, I headed back out into the heat of Bangkok using their very convenient sky walk paths. I then discovered a shrine and decided to do a prayer there, although I was unsure of what the procedures where, but we made it in the end. Due to the heat, I quickly popped into another 711 for a refreshment and then back to the hotel. The hotel I stayed at was called Mayfair Marriott Bangkok Apartments. I made my way up to the rooftop pool and found out it was happy hour at the bar. After an interesting encounter with the Bar staff I managed to get a Piña colada. With the power from the Piña colada I headed to the hotel gym for a quick workout, then back to the bar for my free drink.
