On Day 2 we first went to the Grand Palace Bangkok and then proceeded on to Wang Lang Market (āļ•āļĨāļēāļ”āļ§āļąāļ‡āļŦāļĨāļąāļ‡) for a serious Thai feast at Som Tam Sida: ▹T-shirts and eBooks are available now: https://migrationology.com/store/ ▹Camera and gear I use: http://migrationology.com/travel-resources/ #2WeeksInBangkok - Day 2: Day 2 was a huge day of sightseeing in Bangkok, and we visited many of the most famous attractions in the city starting with the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun. We also went to one of my favorite Thai street food markets in Bangkok: Wang Lang Market (āļ•āļĨāļēāļ”āļ§āļąāļ‡āļŦāļĨāļąāļ‡). 00:38 Grand Palace / Wat Phra Kaew (āļ§āļąāļ”āļžāļĢāļ°āđāļāđ‰āļ§) - In order to try and beat the main rush, we went to Grand Palace / Wat Phra Kaew (āļ§āļąāļ”āļžāļĢāļ°āđāļāđ‰āļ§) early in the morning just after they opened. We still didn’t beat the crowds - it was already crazy busy. But it was still fun, and well worth to go. I had only gone to the Grand Palace Bangkok one previous time, when I first arrived in Bangkok back in 2009, so it was good to go again. Entrance fee is a pretty steep 500 Thai Baht, but at least if you keep your ticket, you can enter a few other attractions within 7 days using the same ticket. 4:48 Tha Phrachan (āļ—āđˆāļēāļžāļĢāļ°āļˆāļąāļ™āļ—āļĢāđŒ) and Lunch at Ran Loong Lui Restaurant (āļĢāđ‰āļēāļ™āļĨāļļāļ‡āļŦāļĨāļļāļĒ) - After going to the Grand Palace Bangkok, Ying and I were both really hungry so we walked over to Tha Phrachan (āļ—āđˆāļēāļžāļĢāļ°āļˆāļąāļ™āļ—āļĢāđŒ) and walked down an alley and arrived to a restaurant called Ran Loong Lui Restaurant (āļĢāđ‰āļēāļ™āļĨāļļāļ‡āļŦāļĨāļļāļĒ) that we used to go to years ago. The food was alright, not the best Thai food, but it was a nice place to sit next to the Chao Phraya River. 10:33 Wat Pho (āļ§āļąāļ”āđ‚āļžāļ˜āļīāđŒ) - We then walked over to Wat Pho (āļ§āļąāļ”āđ‚āļžāļ˜āļīāđŒ), which is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Entrance price is 100 Thai Baht. It had also been a while since I had been to Wat Pho (āļ§āļąāļ”āđ‚āļžāļ˜āļīāđŒ), and Ying and I walked around for a bit. Wat Pho (āļ§āļąāļ”āđ‚āļžāļ˜āļīāđŒ) is also home to the original Thai massage. 12:40 Wang Lang Market (āļ•āļĨāļēāļ”āļ§āļąāļ‡āļŦāļĨāļąāļ‡) - After going to Wat Pho (āļ§āļąāļ”āđ‚āļžāļ˜āļīāđŒ), we then took the Bangkok river ferry to Wang Lang Market (āļ•āļĨāļēāļ”āļ§āļąāļ‡āļŦāļĨāļąāļ‡), which is one of the best food markets in central Bangkok. After walking around for a little while, we headed to Som Tam Sida (āļŠāđ‰āļĄāļ•āļģāļŠāļĩāļ”āļē) an Isaan food restaurant right within the market. We ordered a bunch of different dishes including tom saeb neua (āļ•āđ‰āļĄāđāļ‹āđˆāļšāđ€āļ™āļ·āđ‰āļ­), Isaan beef soup, som tam boo pla ra (āļŠāđ‰āļĄāļ•āļģāļ›āļđāļ›āļĨāļēāļĢāđ‰āļē) - green papaya salad with fermented fish, soop nawmai (āļ‹āļļāļ›āļŦāļ™āđˆāļ­āđ„āļĄāđ‰) - bamboo shoot salad, yam tua pu (āļĒāļģāļ–āļąāđˆāļ§āļžāļđ) - winged bean salad, yam makua (āļĒāļģāļĄāļ°āđ€āļ‚āļ·āļ­āļĒāļēāļ§) - eggplant salad, ;aab pla duk (āļĨāļēāļšāļ›āļĨāļēāļ”āļļāļ) - catfish salad, and finally a plate of sai krok Isaan moo (āđ„āļŠāđ‰āļāļĢāļ­āļāļ­āļĩāļŠāļēāļ™āļŦāļĄāļđ) - Isaan sausage for good measure. It was a delicious Isaan feast! 24:10 Wat Arun (āļ§āļąāļ”āļ­āļĢāļļāļ“) - From Wang Lang Market (āļ•āļĨāļēāļ”āļ§āļąāļ‡āļŦāļĨāļąāļ‡) we walked over to Wat Arun (āļ§āļąāļ”āļ­āļĢāļļāļ“), the Temple of Dawn. Unfortunately they were doing some renovation on the temple this time, so I wasn’t able to climb the stairs to the top. Price for entrance is 50 THB ($1.40). For dinner, I was honestly still quite full from the huge lunch Thai feast at Wang Lang Market, so I just stopped at a quick grilled chicken cart and had a few skewers of grilled chicken and sticky rice for dinner. It was a long day of visiting attractions in Bangkok, but it was a good day. ============================================================== This video was made by Mark Wiens and Ying Wiens - check out our blogs: Migrationology.com: http://migrationology.com/ EatingThaiFood.com: http://eatingthaifood.com/ TravelByYing.com: http://travelbyying.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/migrationology Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/migrationology ▹T-shirts and eBooks: https://migrationology.com/store/ ▹Make a Donation: https://migrationology.com/donate/ Thank you for watching this Bangkok travel video!
