Heres What Happened...


On various videos on YouTube
I received comments that were
along the lines of:

Can you make some videos


showing the attractions and
traveling in Bangkok?
And they got me thinking:
Ive been based in Bangkok since 2009.
When I came for the first time, I visited all sorts of attractions and went
all over the place... BUT that was before I started making videos.
When I started making videos, I had already done quite a bit in Bangkok, and I mostly just wanted to go to restaurants and make pure food
videos (which is what Ive been doing most of the time).
Along with the help of my wife Ying, we decided that we needed to
take a full 2 Weeks in Bangkok, stay at hotels and experience Bangkok
to the max by eating, going to attractions, and doing as much as we
could in 2 weeks.
So thats how it happened - and we went for it!
I am thrilled to bring to you this 2 Weeks in Bangkok travel guide and
food video series. I hope the videos (and this eBook to go with it) will
be helpful and useful for you when youre in Bangkok.
