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: I’ve 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 Bang- kok, and I mostly just wanted to go to restaurants and make pure food videos (which is what I’ve 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 that’s 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 you’re in Bangkok. 3 T-shirts and eBooks available now: www.migrationology.com/store Quick Overview: Please read this before you begin: This “2 Weeks in Bangkok” eBook goes directly with the entire Bangkok video series - You can watch the videos on YouTube here. I’ve organized this eBook by each day, and here’s what is included: 1. Hotel - At the top of each day you’ll find the hotel and area that we stayed in. 2. Restaurants - All the major restaurants we ate at during the day and the dishes we ate. 3. Day Schedule - This is a list of all the day activities, including attrac- tions, transportation, prices, and restaurants.

All links in RED are clickable thoughout this guide - so you can click them for more information. NOTE: Also, the links to the hotels within this guide are affiliate links, meaning that if you book a hotel from the places I’ve recommended, at NO extra charge to you, I’ll get a small comission.

  • Laos, Known As the “Land of a Million Elephants,” Is a Landlocked Country in Southeast Asia About the Size of Kansas
    DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION OF AUTHOR Simon J. Bronner, ed. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOLKLIFE. Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe, 2005. Rachelle H. Saltzman, Iowa Arts Council, Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs [email protected] LAO Laos, known as the “Land of a Million Elephants,” is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia about the size of Kansas. The elephant symbolizes the ancient kingdom of Lan Xang, and is sacred to the Lao people, who believe it will bring prosperity to their country. Bordered by China to the north, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, Thailand to the west, and Myanmar (formerly Burma) to the northwest, Laos is a rough and mountainous land interwoven with forests and plateaus. The Mekong River, which runs through the length of Laos and supplies water to the fertile plains of the river basin, is both symbolically and practically, the lifeline of the Lao people, who number nearly 6 million. According to Wayne Johnson, Chief for the Iowa Bureau of Refugee Services, and a former Peace Corps Volunteer, “the river has deep meaning for the ethnic Lao who are Buddhist because of the intrinsic connection of water with the Buddhist religion, a connection that does not exist for the portion of the population who are non-ethnically Lao and who are animists.” Formally known as the Kingdom of Laos, and now known as Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Laos was, in previous centuries, periodically independent and periodically part of the Khmer (Cambodian), Mongol, Vietnamese, and Thai (Siamese) empires. Lao, Thai, and Khmer (but not Vietnamese) share a common heritage evident today in similar religion, music, food, and dance traditions as well as language and dress.

  • Mamweb: Regional Styles of Thai Cuisine
    Regional Styles of Thai Cuisine: Thailand is comprised of four main culinary regions, each with their own specialties, and each having slight deviations in flavor profile from that of the Central region, which is considered by most to be the ‘classic’ Thai culinary style. The variations are caused by differences in ethnicity, cultural background, geography, climate, and to some extent, politics. Each ethnographic group can lay claim to dishes which are known nationwide, whether they originated with the Chinese immigrants from Hainan, Fujian, Guangzhou, or Yunnan, the Sunni Muslim Malays or animist Moken sea gypsies in the South, the Mon of the west-Central, the Burmese Shan in the North, the Khmer in the East, or the Lao in the Northeast. Geography and climate determine what can be grown and harvested, and whether the aquatic species consumed in the region are derived from the sea or freshwater. The cuisine of Northeastern Thailand: Aahaan Issan: Issan (also written as Isaan, Isarn, Esarn, Isan) is Thailand’s poorest region, both economically and agriculturally. It is plagued by thin soils, with an underlying layer of mineral salts (mineral salt is harvested and exported country wide). The weather is a limiting factor in agricultural production: it is hotter and dryer during the dry season, and rains can easily become floods, since it is basically a large flat plateau (the Khorat Plateau), hemmed-in by mountain ranges to the west and the south. Watersheds are limited and flow into the Mekong, which serves as a transportation link for trade. Marshes and temporary lakes appear during the rainy season.

  • Traditional Dietary Culture of Southeast Asia
    Traditional Dietary Culture of Southeast Asia Foodways can reveal the strongest and deepest traces of human history and culture, and this pioneering volume is a detailed study of the development of the traditional dietary culture of Southeast Asia from Laos and Vietnam to the Philippines and New Guinea from earliest times to the present. Being blessed with abundant natural resources, dietary culture in Southeast Asia flourished during the pre- European period on the basis of close relationships between the cultural spheres of India and China, only to undergo significant change during the rise of Islam and the age of European colonialism. What we think of as the Southeast Asian cuisine today is the result of the complex interplay of many factors over centuries. The work is supported by full geological, archaeological, biological and chemical data, and is based largely upon Southeast Asian sources which have not been available up until now. This is essential reading for anyone interested in culinary history, the anthropology of food, and in the complex history of Southeast Asia. Professor Akira Matsuyama graduated from the University of Tokyo. He later obtained a doctorate in Agriculture from that university, later becoming Director of Radiobiology at the Institute of Physical and Chemical research. After working in Indonesia he returned to Tokyo's University of Agriculture as Visiting Professor. He is currently Honorary Scientist at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Tokyo.

  • Bubble Waffles a Popular Treat from Hong Kong, Bubble Waffles Are Also Called Eggettes Or Egg Puffs
    News and trends for January – and a chance to join the Good Food team! edited by ELAINE STOCKS INTRODUCING Bubble waffles A popular treat from Hong Kong, bubble waffles are also called eggettes or egg puffs. The waffle batter is cooked in a special mould, and the honeycomb-like structure results in crispy edges and soft, chewy ‘bubbles’. A little custard powder is added to the batter to make them taste sweeter. Why we're eating them now Although they were originally served plain, bubble waffles became popular in Europe as people started to experiment with increasingly decadent toppings. Wrapped around inventive ice cream flavours or piled elainestocks @ high with sweets and chocolate sauce, they're Instagram gold.

  • BANGKOK 101 Emporium at Vertigo Moon Bar © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © MBK Sirocco Sky Bar Chao Phraya Express Chinatown Wat Phra Kaew Wat Pho (P171)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 BANGKOK BANGKOK Bangkok In recent years, Bangkok has broken away from its old image as a messy third-world capital to be voted by numerous metro-watchers as a top-tier global city. The sprawl and tropical humidity are still the city’s signature ambassadors, but so are gleaming shopping centres and an infectious energy of commerce and restrained mayhem. The veneer is an ultramodern backdrop of skyscraper canyons containing an untamed universe of diversions and excesses. The city is justly famous for debauchery, boasting at least four major red-light districts, as well as a club scene that has been revived post-coup. Meanwhile the urban populous is as cosmopolitan as any Western capital – guided by fashion, music and text messaging. But beside the 21st-century façade is a traditional village as devout and sacred as any remote corner of the country. This is the seat of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy, with the attendant splendid temples. Even the modern shopping centres adhere to the old folk ways with attached spirit shrines that receive daily devotions. Bangkok will cater to every indulgence, from all-night binges to shopping sprees, but it can also transport you into the old-fashioned world of Siam. Rise with daybreak to watch the monks on their alms route, hop aboard a long-tail boat into the canals that once fused the city, or forage for your meals from the numerous and lauded food stalls. HIGHLIGHTS Joining the adoring crowds at Thailand’s most famous temple, Wat Phra Kaew (p108) Escaping the tour
