01:01We're gonna have a big day of activities in Bangkok plan for today
01:04But starting off with a Thai massage because that's the first thing you got to do when you get to
01:08Thailand, right?
01:09Yes, I'm getting a facial because I can't have Taiwan when I'm pregnant
01:15I miss them so much
01:16Only a full body
01:18We're gonna meet up with Tooby now and then we're gonna head to get a massage

02:00Um, so we're gonna get
02:03Ultimate relaxed to start the day. I think after flying for like, what was it 10 hours?
02:13Yeah, I think you need to get a massage straight away get rid of all the tension
02:17So we're gonna go and do that and then we'll find a local pad Thai, I think
02:23to start with that
02:28Here we go
02:34Oh, that's pretty cheap
02:35That's very cheap
02:51What about this? Is this what you want?
02:53Yeah, I think it's the same thing
02:54How long is this one for?
02:56Yeah, same thing
02:57One hour
02:59Is this okay for pregnancy?
03:01Oh, this one okay, but you can do massage
03:03Yeah, no massage, but that's a the product's okay for pregnancy
03:06Um, and this one takes one hour?
03:09Not about 40 minutes
03:1140 minutes, okay
03:12Okay, so could I do this and then a pedicure?
03:20Okay, I'll get one hour oil massage
03:23Do you have Thai massage or oil?
03:26I don't know, Thai's pretty good but I'm gonna do oil
03:29I've done so many Thais
03:32Come on, let's get a Thai out
03:34Thai massage
03:34Yes please
03:35One Thai, one oil, one facial
03:43How was your facial?
03:44It was good
03:45It was good, um, she went to town on it like I've got marks all over my face now
03:51She got like every bit of gunk out of it but it was really good
03:54Yeah
03:54Felt slightly booty
03:55Have a guess if two of you made me laugh the whole time
03:58Do you want to drink this massage?
04:00Yeah
04:01What did he do?
04:03They sounded like they were on a first date honestly
04:05Really?
04:09How was your massage bro?
04:11Yeah, it was really good hey
04:13Best being in Thailand hey, I feel amazing
04:16Were you talking to her the whole time?
04:18Uh, oh, we had a few weird moments but like
04:23Pretty much just because I was pulling rude heads but
04:25I guess it's part of the experience hey
04:28So, quick tip
04:30Tuvi doesn't recommend taking edibles and getting a Thai massage right away
04:38Cheers
04:53Cheers
04:54No, we just met a sweet old lady who asked us where we're from and she said Australia
05:00She asked us what we're doing we said we're trying to find some good pad tyres so she um
05:05Gave us the directions to the she thinks the best pad tyre in the area
05:10But I don't know if we're going to get it right she was pointing to the right and saying left
05:16So it's about a 12 minute walk we'll see if we can find it
05:29I don't know where she's told us to go but hopefully it's worth it
05:33It's stinking hot and now we're walking through back alleys of Bangkok
05:41Supposedly the best pad tyre a local would know wouldn't they?
05:45You'd like to think so although you don't know where they're sending you
05:52I just got really quiet
05:54Look at Ali
05:58Got an earring
05:59We're definitely getting a tuk-tuk back
06:08Oh well it's interesting bro
06:11Oh yeah that is the place
06:12Okay old mate just told us not to walk any further because there's protests going on down there
06:17And apparently we walked past the pad thai joint here it is
06:22Okay
06:22Yeah
06:23We can't reach
06:24We can't reach the trail
06:26No
06:31We can't reach the road
06:37Actually we can't reach the road
06:38But then we opened up our front
06:38We can't reach the road
06:38It's really close
06:38Okay
06:38Not much
06:38Any signs
06:43We can't reach the road
06:43We can't reach the road
06:46We can't reach the road
07:08That was so good, we're going to get some fried rice to go with it, and she brought
07:13us out some free mango.
07:17We need to say thank you to Level 8 for sponsoring this video and making this free content possible.
07:23If you want to live the nomadic lifestyle, you'll need luggage that can keep up with
07:27you on your journey.
07:28That's why we choose Level 8 Luggage.
07:31We've been using Level 8 Luggage for over a year now because like us, they're all
07:35about traveling light and efficiently.
07:37We use these 24 inch check-in suitcases because although they're big enough to fit everything
07:42we need, they're not too big to drag around big cities on adventures or on public transport
07:47such as buses and trains.
07:49Even though our suitcases have flown all over the world with us, they're still in amazing
07:53condition and that's because their luggage is made from high quality materials that are
07:58built to last.
07:59We love how lightweight they are, making them super easy to carry around.
08:03They're also made from waterproof material in case you get caught in a rainstorm which
08:06actually seems to happen a lot to us.
08:08They also have 360 degree spinning wheels which makes it super easy to get through a busy airport
08:14as well as a loft feature for added security and peace of mind.
08:17They also offer a lifetime warranty on all of their products.

08:28Alright, now let's get into the episode.
08:43Okay, that pad thai we got was incredible, it was awesome but we just went home and had
08:51a little bit of a nap, it's about 4.30pm now and we're just chilling out, having a couple
08:57of beers and this might sound stupid to many people, we've been to Bangkok five times now.
09:05We just discovered this road next door to Koh San Road which is called Fanon Ram Butri.
09:12It's so much more chill and relaxed, like it's not chaotic at all like Koh San Road and there's
09:19so many good restaurants and bars here.
09:22It's literally less than a five minute walk from the Ember Hotel which is where we're staying.
09:27I think this might be the new spot we're going to bring friends whenever they come and visit
09:31us in Bangkok because it's got everything we need here and like I said it's not too chaotic
09:38like Koh San Road.
09:39We really like it.
09:41It's cool because it's covered in trees so there's actually shade like on the street.
09:46There's lots of places with like misters and stuff so you can stay cool, somewhere to like
09:50hang out during the day.
09:52Yeah, it's like 4.30pm and it's not that hot at all, there's like a really nice breeze so
09:57we're going to hang out here for a couple of hours and then we're taking Tuvi to the Muay Thai
10:04at Rajadamnirn Stadium which in my opinion is the best thing you can do in Bangkok on
10:12your first night.
10:13It's the most fun you can have in Bangkok, that's just my opinion.
10:16Some other people like doing food tours and stuff like that.
10:19I think the Muay Thai is the best thing you can do.
10:21You guys can make up your own mind.
10:29Okay we have to make a quick stop at Mulligan's Irish Pub on Koh San Road before the fires
10:33because I've always wanted to come here.
10:37Cold tennis, out of the tap.
10:40None for you.
10:42None for you either.
10:52He's got props right now.
10:55He's got props.
11:13If you have any questions, please.
11:22I'll get some questions.
11:23I'll get some questions.
11:24Okay, how much?
11:26200? 150.
11:27Oh, ah!
11:29Five minutes.
11:34150.
11:36150.
11:37150.
11:38150.
11:38150, alright.
11:39Okay, 180.
11:47My first tuk-tuk for the trip.
11:50Mate, you gotta have a tuk-tuk ride if you're in Bangkok.
11:53That's...
11:54Rule number one.
11:56Rule number one.
11:57Let's do it.
11:59Do I see some farts?
12:20Alright, we're gonna go see the best show in Bangkok.

13:53Told you that was the best thing you can do in Bangkok.
13:57We got music?
13:59I have.
13:59Okay, let's do it.
14:01We're going to start Muay Thai this week, Moody?
14:03I think we're going to start fighting Muay Thai.
14:08There's like three Aussies in there.
14:12In the...
14:12Oh, no.
14:14One of them won, two of them lost.
14:16A lot of Iranians.
14:18They seem to be tough Muay Thai fighters.
14:21Mandy got on the beat screen.
14:23We're going to have to try and get that footage.
14:25I don't know how.
14:27Sign up to the website.
14:30Go on email.
14:56Oh, is that what it is?
14:59I thought it was a smoothie.
15:01No, I didn't.
15:14I think that's a wrap.
15:16I think we're going to finish the night with a couple of kebabs.
15:21Coastal Road is just too cake thick, man.
15:23Have a couple of kebabs and then go to bed.
15:26Where's your mind go?
15:28I'm gone.
15:29Ha ha ha ha.
15:30Sometimes I get it crazy.
15:32And everything seems hazy.
15:35Is there some place for safety I could go?
15:40Run away, run away, run away into your escape.
15:46Run away, run away, run away.
15:49You're never too far to run.
15:52Run away, run away.
15:53Run away, run away.
