01:06No, we just visited the temple and the King Residence. It was the King Residence.
01:11Built in 1782, the Grand Palace is a vast complex of royal residences, ceremonial halls,
01:18government buildings, and sacred temples.
01:21At its heart sits the Temple of the Emerald Buddha,

02:15Zostałem się z palą, we head to Chow Friar River, a board a traditional longtail boat.
02:21This historic river jest to perfecto sposób na jak jak nowe i bangkokie zbyt.
02:27Jakie zbyt ludzie w życiu na canalach w Thailandie?
02:30Dla jednotyczne, by około 500 lat.
02:33Każdy do około około 500 lat.
02:36Before roads, Bangkok jechał na zbieranie.
02:39Znaczalnie zbieramy się w celu zbierów zbierów.
02:44Znaczalnie zbieramy się na pójść zbierów stworułów.
02:49Współpraca zbierniku jest zbiernikiem buddha,
02:52zbiernikiem 46 metrów, który wynikł w całości.
02:59Zobaczmy, że ludzie mówią buddha, nie tylko wczoraj, tylko wczoraj, wczoraj, wczoraj.
03:05A to jest bardzo popularne dla Thajmasat.
03:09A to jest ta birthplace dla Thajmasat.
03:12Zobaczmy, że to jest bękoc, 24-hour flower market.
03:16Zobaczmy, że Blume' z centralną Thajmą kulturę.
03:19Zobaczmy, jak to, jak to, jak to, jak to.
03:24We use it for offering Hindu, Hindu god, and some flower, lotus flower.
03:30We use it for offering the Buddha.
03:32Walking through the flower market is truly breathtaking,
03:36with every person you meet greeting you with kindness.
03:39I've had an incredible time exploring the city with Alex,
03:42but now it's time to head to my hotel.
03:47For this trip, I'm staying at the Four Seasons Bangkok,
03:50a five-star hotel right on the banks of the Chow Friar River.
03:55From the moment you arrive, the resort surrounds you
03:58with a perfect blend of modern elegance and traditional Thai charm.
04:03Bangkok might move fast, but here, time flows like the river.
04:07Peaceful, elegant, and full of Thai hospitality.
04:11To kick my day into high gear,
04:14I've signed up for a Thai kickboxing class in the hotel's state-of-the-art gym.
04:18After the instructor wraps my hands, we dive straight into an intense session,
04:24learning the fundamentals of Thailand's national sport,
04:27from punches and kicks to using my knees for defense.
04:31There's definitely a lot to learn, but after some trial and error,
04:35everything clicks, and I'm finally able to string the movements together.
04:42After a demanding workout, I've booked a traditional Thai massage in the hotel's spa.
04:47It's a great place to relax and reset.
04:50A traditional Thai massage is both energizing and deeply restorative.
04:55Unlike oil-based massages, it uses rhythmic pressure, assisted stretching,
05:01and gentle joint movements to release tension.
05:06To round out the hotel's luxury experience,
05:09I stopped for lunch at one of its five on-site restaurants,
05:12Palmier by Guillaume Gelio.
05:14It's the perfect place to slow down and watch the world drift by
05:18before heading back into the energy of the bustling city.
05:23To explore more of Bangkok, I'm meeting with Wat from Must Try Bangkok Tours.
05:28We are heading out on a bike ride around the capital.
05:31The best way to go around is with a bicycle,
05:34because you can go in a small alley, see a hidden way,
05:36and you can stop anywhere you want it to.
05:38We set off through some local back streets,
05:41before cycling our way to the river,
05:43where Wat explains more about how Bangkok has evolved over time.
05:46At what we are at right now is old Bangkok.
05:50Over there, there's a new Bangkok.
05:53And how long ago was old Bangkok developed and then the new one?
05:57Bangkok, old Bangkok, began around 250 to 280 years ago.
06:02And new Bangkok is around 150 to 180 years ago.
06:06We cycle along the river to our first stop,
06:09a fifth-generation curry noodle spot with hardly any seating.
06:13Locals gather outside, drawn by the food, not the frills.
06:18The noodles itself are Asian cultures from a thousand of years.
06:23But curry, actually from India.
06:26From India.
06:27But chilli, actually from body to Thailand or to Asia by Portuguese.
06:33But from South America, from Mexico.
06:37Wow, so all around the world, it's very international.
06:41We then set off through some small streets,
06:43and narrow roads,
06:44where Wat brings me to try some local street food
06:47and explains why this is so popular in Thailand.
06:51So food here in Thailand,
06:53are so small portion.
06:55It's to decide to make people keep eating and eating and eating.
06:59Firstly, we try some delicious and unique fruits.
07:02Starting with mangosteen, moving to jackfruit and even longan.
07:06Everything tastes so sweet and delicious.
07:09It's like candy.
07:11It's like eating a sweet.
07:12Mm-hmm.
07:14Next up, we try one of Thailand's most famous desserts,
07:17mango sticky rice.
07:19It's every bit as good as you'd expect,
07:22with the perfect balance of sweetness and bright, tangy flavour.
07:26We hop back on our bicycles and head to a calm riverside café.
07:30So yeah, how do you like it?
07:32I had such an incredible time.
07:34The bicycles are the best way to see as much of the authentic side of Thailand.
07:39And you can see how local people are living with a calm, slow and peaceful life.
07:45Having experienced the many sides of Bangkok,
07:48it's time to venture beyond the inner city for my final discoveries.
07:53For the next part of my journey, I'm exploring another canal in Thailand.
07:57I'm meeting Joy from Thai tour guide.
08:00Welcome, Lily.
08:01Hi, Lily.
08:03It's Joy. Swatika.
08:04Swatika.
08:05Enjoy.
08:06Now you can see now, this is the pier of the floating market.
08:09You can see the old board, the junk.
08:12Before we go by, like the trading, everything we put in the junk like this.
08:17I then learn how Thai people traditionally carried goods to and from their boats.
08:22A centuries-old method that relies entirely on balance.
08:27Joy leads me to board a boat to reach the floating market.
08:33See, they're selling everything.
08:35The hat is a Thai farmer hat or something.
08:38This is bamboo.
08:40I love this bamboo hat.
08:41The bamboo hat, you see?
08:43So beautiful.
08:45It truly is a sight to behold, with so many vendors offering an array of foods and goods.
08:54Floating along the canals in Thailand, you really feel together with the people.
08:59This is their community where they sell goods and smile.
09:03They make you feel at home.
09:05Next, we explore the Make Long train market, one of the most unique markets in the world.
09:10When the train rolls through, stores are quickly pulled back, then reopened once it passes, offering a fascinating glimpse into
09:18local life and commerce.
09:20The energy in Thailand is electric, but people at the same time are so kind, so peaceful, so relaxed.
09:28The contrast is breathtaking.
09:32Joy walks me through the market, stopping to show me some of the delicious goods on offer, from deep-fried
09:37banana to Thai coffee.
09:40It is delicious.
09:43As my journey draws to a close, Joy guides me to a truly special part of Thailand, the historic city
09:50of Ayutthaya.
09:52Now we are at Ayutthaya, the second capital city of Thailand.
09:57You can see so many temples, 500 temples in Ayutthaya province, and we have around Thailand 43,000 temples.
10:06Founded in 1350, Ayutthaya was once one of the largest and most prosperous cities in Southeast Asia.
10:13The city thrived as a centre of trade, culture and diplomacy for over four centuries.
10:20Today, Ayutthaya is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its stunning temple ruins that offer a glimpse into Thailand's
10:28rich past.
10:29We start by exploring one of the city's oldest sites.
10:32This temple in the early Ayutthaya period, about 1374. 1374 means 600 years already.
10:40Walking through the temple, you can almost step into the past, picturing the people who once filled these sacred spaces.
10:49Next, we head to the largest temple in the ancient royal palace.
10:53Now we are at the Wat Prasi Sanpet Temple.
10:57This temple before, it means the residence of the king.
11:00From the 1350 until 1488.
11:04It means not the temple, this is the residence of the king, the king living here.
11:08Its three towering stupas once housed the ashes of Ayutthaya's kings, making it a symbol of both religious devotion and
11:16royal power.
11:18Now you can see this building, we call the building for the place of the high standing Buddha, 16 metres
11:25high.
11:26Yeah, 16 metres high made by the gold, 347 kilogram gold.
11:31Ayutthaya is truly breathtaking and seeing it up close is a fitting way to end my journey here.
11:39Thailand is a country where modern skyscrapers rise amongst ancient temples.
11:45There's so much to this country, from the incredible food, the smiles on people's faces and of course, the culture.
11:52But now, time for my next adventure.
11:55But now, time for my next adventure.
