Welcome back to a new video guys.
Today we're going to be learning English using comprehensible input.
We are here in Bangkok, Thailand.
Sorting out our space to make billionaire rates outside before we head really good.
Looks good in a while.
Busiest day.
Desserts here.
Skewers.
Strive.
Mall.
A specific name.
Barricade.
Rating.
Start the word count and let's go.
Today is our first day exploring Bangkok.
We spent a couple days sorting out our accommodation, but we found a place and now we're gonna go into this 7-Eleven and I need some energy.
It's like almost 5 p.m. but today is New Year's Eve so we need to get some energy.
Then we'll get some food, get some grub.
That's just another way to save food and then we'll go and watch the New Year's somewhere.
The convenience stores here and the residential part are a lot bigger, eh?
Well, they have more space to make a bigger store.
Okay, what are we trying to get?
Oh, I'm getting a Thai Red Bull, so I know that's like what they drink here, but I don't like that one.
Do they sell regular Red Bull?
Yeah, they do.
Actually, I don't think you want to carry a water.
I'll just get one.
I could carry this one, but a bigger one would be really inconvenient to carry.
They got my uh vanilla, my vanilla coke.
Where's the energy drinks?
So the regular Red Bull is up there.
So this is the Taiwan.
Yeah, let me, let me grab it.
Are these all the same?
Grab the top one there.
That's the one I usually go with.
So this is Thai Red Bull.
It's different compared to Red Bull.
You get outside of Thailand the original Red Bull yeah, the original, the one I'm used to, is like carbonated and I think tastes different.
Yeah, but the logo is the same.
But I'm pretty sure it's two different companies, right Yeah?
Two different companies.
And I guess the guy that owns this in Thailand is a billionaire, right?
Oh, yeah.
He's like one of the richest people, if not the richest person in Thailand.
Yeah, no, he definitely has money.
But where's the normal carbonated energy drinks?
Up there?
I think that's all the options they have for normal ones.
Honestly, the price difference isn't that big.
For a Thai one, it's 12 baht.
And the other one, it's 20 baht.
Yeah.
Oh, actually, there's more down here, too.
Oh, they got Volt.
A regular Red Bull is 75.
This is the local low-carbonated one, that yellow can.
This one?
Yeah.
I think this is all we need, and then we'll go get something to eat.
So let's go check out.
Let's look at the chip selection and compare to our Korea video.
This looks interesting.
This looks like tom yum, no?
Like a crab, but crab.
Um, i think it's definitely seafood at least.
Yeah, this one looks spicy, maybe like uh, similar to bulldog.
They do have a good uh chip selection.
That's just seaweed flavor.
I would say korea has like some crazy flavors.
This is seaweed.
I would say korea has like way crazier flavors.
Whoa, the chocolate bar selection.
Wait, these aren't chocolate bars, these are cookies.
Here are the chocolate bars.
Yeah, the chocolate bar selection looks a lot better to me.
Still, no peanut butter, though.
Yeah, you got MM's with peanut butter.
Snickers has peanut butter.
Oh, a Mars bar.
Oh, Mars bar.
Oh my gosh, bro.
I have not seen this in like... This is Canadian, isn't it?
I'm pretty sure it is.
I'm pretty sure this is Canadian Mars bar.
I haven't had these in so long.
I don't know if it'll be the same, but I'm trying to lose weight, so I won't get it.
This looks fire.
Butterscotch.
I like Hershey's cookies and cream, but this is all we're going to get.
We're going to go to the counter, check out, and I'll see you guys.
They do have peanut butter rhesus what, oh?
I did not see those last time i was here.
Rhesus, this is fire.
This is fire.
I still want to try the mr beast uh, peanut butter cup.
But this is a step up.
We're almost there, but i'm gonna check out and i'll see you guys outside.
Okay, so i've never had this uh, thai red bull before.
I assume i'm not gonna like it.
I don't know, it's just a hunch.
It's just a hunch, but i usually like carbonated things and it kind of looks like a medicine, like bottle, doesn't?
It tastes like it.
That actually tastes pretty good.
That tastes like a, like a melted freezy.
You know what I'm talking about?
That literally tastes exactly like, I don't know what flavor, but sure you guys have had it.
It's like a long plastic tube and inside it's like a liquid.
But you freeze it and then you suck on it once it's frozen.
So it's like, cools you down in the summer.
It's like a summer drink, but this tastes like a melted one.
So one that's completely melted and you're just drinking the liquid.
That's what that tastes like.
You've never had one before this yeah, i've never had.
Non-carbonated version is what i see.
All the bike drivers, barely carbonated.
This is like very, very subtle.
They say sparkly, barely.
Yeah anyways, let's go find something to eat.
This is leon's drink, so i'll hand it to him.
Let's go find something to eat.
Then we'll head down to icon cm to see the new year's.
Let's get it.
No way that trike scooter dog.
This is a tricycle.
You call it a tricycle because there are three wheels.
That's one, two, three.
So it's a tricycle scooter.
That is valid.
But now we just have our water.
Let's go find somewhere to eat.
I can go for a pet tie.
What about you?
Oh, we had pet tie already.
So that's all right.
But I can have it again or maybe something else that's like similar.
Maybe some noodles or that like pork trotter we had.
That was amazing.
I would have that again.
Yeah, but isn't the goal not to eat anything twice?
Whose goal is that?
That's your goal.
I never said that.
You gotta try new things.
I swear I've never said that.
I think you're a little too picky, so it'd be good to try new things.
No, I like trying new things, but why fix what isn't broken?
And right now it's golden hour.
That's what picky people say.
The sun is just like at a nice height, so...
Everything is going to look golden, golden hour.
But it's almost 5 p.m.
And today is the 31st of December, which means it's New Year's Eve.
So at midnight tonight, it's going to be 2026.
Happy New Year, guys.
Very soon.
Let's go.
The most important part of learning a language, and the reason why everyone learns a language, is to be able to speak the language.
These videos help you with your listening, but how can you practice your speaking even more?
You need to practice by shadowing.
Shadowing is just repeating after a native English speaker to practice your pronunciation, your accent and your confidence.
And I've started making videos specifically just to practice those three things.
So if you guys want to become more confident in English and become truly fluent, check out my Patreon in the description, where I give you guys three new videos every week to practice your pronunciation, your accent and, most importantly, your confidence.
I'll see you guys there.
We are going to be learning English as i clean up my pronunciation, your accent, your rhythm and your confidence.
It was just a roundabout way of her politely trying to spare my feelings the a-hole for giving all of my co-workers a different reason for why i have missing fingers.
So i wouldn't take legal.
I came down to he company-wide training on his behavior.
He chooses not, but i was already so cranky.
I did so much shopping in Mushima.
The jeans and one hoodie.
This is a castle.
Do you think anyone lives here?
Lord Farquaad.
You look like Lord Farquaad for a moment there.
What's his name?
What?
That rapper that looks like Lord Farquaad.
I think it's like Critical something.
Yeah, he's like, I just got my hair done.
Anyway, we're at this market and we're going to try to grab a bite to eat before we head to Icon Siem.
It's probably going to be crazy busy because it's like an hour away.
So by the time we get there, it's going to be dark or almost dark and it's going to be insane.
Also, I noticed this cap doesn't come off.
That's like really popular in Europe.
Like none of the caps come off in Europe. yeah i don't know how much i like that to avoid like littering i don't mind it honestly it's not that bad yeah where should we start oh this is this was the candy tong hulu tong hulu oh that's what i was trying to remember that's what it was shout out to our editor because he put he put it up there the name of it uh towel towel go or yes something something like that like i'm not sure tong hulu because we didn't know the name no i didn't know i just want a pad thai there are a lot of stalls open and it's not crazy busy oh dude sushi i don't i would never trust this you know this dish right here cow soy oh that's like really popular in chiang mai isn't it yeah that's like from chiang mai yeah it's a northern uh curry noodle yeah I think it's a little strong for me, like the flavors.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
I did not know you were so picky.
It's just so oily.
There's like a layer of oil on it.
That's what I'm saying.
It's pretty strong.
They use a lot of coconut oil to make it.
Honestly, I would have a roadie after.
I think I'll have a roadie after, but I'm just going to look for that Pad Thai for now.
What is mala?
Isn't mala spicy?
Yeah, it's like a hot pot flavor.
Oh, those ones.
It's like a sweet fish sauce pork.
I've had that.
They're really good.
Yeah, I've had that.
That one is good.
What about the mango sticky rice?
Have you had that?
Mango sticky rice is really good.
There is a lot of good desserts.
We got some bugs too.
Yeah, bugs.
Dude, those are huge, man.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I tried them, like, one time.
I did it like this.
Actually, I have a video.
I'll put it in if I see it.
But I did it like this, and I shook it all in my mouth and ate it.
And, like, it's not worth it, honestly.
It cost a lot, and I didn't eat it all.
I'm not into bugs.
Yeah, the only one I've had is this scorpion.
I never had any other bug, and it was not that good.
That probably doesn't even taste like anything, though.
No, just the sauce they put on it.
It was like a sweet teriyaki sauce they had.
That's all it tasted like.
Maybe at one of these restaurants along the edges, we'll find a pet bag.
Oh, definitely.
Or what about fruity cuties?
Isn't that what they called you in high school?
Yeah.
I definitely want to get a roadie, 100%.
That's fire, but I need to eat something salty before then, and then I could go do that.
Yeah, that's a good plan.
This one looks good, though.
Look at that.
You can get it now and then keep it for dinner.
I won't.
I would eat it right away.
I know myself.
You don't have self-control?
If it's right in front of me and it's warm, I'm just going to eat it.
Yeah, that's relatable.
Let's go through the middle of this one.
Let's see.
What's this market called?
I'm not even going to try to pronounce it, but this is what it's called.
Liaduban.
Is that the right one?
It's only got 300 reviews.
I'm pretty sure it had more reviews than that.
The photos are this one.
So I would say, yeah, this is it.
Hey, what's the move?
The move is we couldn't find the pad thai, so we're just going to get a roti.
But let's see what they got here.
I think you should get durian.
Roti, durian, crazy word.
I think banana Nutella is simply the best, honestly.
I think I'm going to go with banana Nutella.
That's like my favorite one.
I haven't had it in a while, so let me get that one.
Banana Nutella, I think, is their most popular one.
I think globally.
But that flavor combo in like crepes or pancakes, that's Yeah banana or even toast.
I put banana Nutella on toast.
It's also the diabetes combo.
I think we're the first to order because I think it's clean and shiny.
Yeah, so she's just like pressing that dough against the counter there flat.
I think she makes it as thin as possible and then fries it.
Now she's slapping it to, like, make it, like, to stretch it out.
Oh, yeah, that's how they do it.
That's how they make it that thin.
I wonder what inside the dough makes it crispy.
It's got to be, like, butter or something.
Oh, yeah.
That thing looks like it has a lot of butter.
No doubt.
Yeah.
Yeah, that thing cooks in, like, seconds.
Banana.
Oh, yeah.
She's flipping it now.
And then you wrap it up.
The Akiway.
When I came here... Have you been here?
Yeah, this exact one.
A year ago.
Like at night?
I mean, like, what time of day?
At night.
But it was during the week, so it was kind of dead still.
Well, today is like Wednesday.
But this is the busiest day probably of the year.
New Year.
But were a lot of stalls open at least?
No, it wasn't.
So I didn't really find that much good food.
I think all the stalls are open.
Yeah.
Oh, it's going to be crazy.
We're going to get there.
It's going to be dark.
Actually we could take the green line all the way down and then transfer to the other one and just take one grab.
But at central, the line is going to be crazy busy.
Yeah.
But the line for what?
I don't even want to go in there, though, because once you go in, you're not getting out.
You saw the videos.
They're like gridlocked, right?
Yeah.
And now she's cutting it to market in bangkok, thailand.
We just ordered the brody, which is probably one of the most famous desserts here, beside like besides, mango sticky rice.
But let's try it.
She just made it right.
Yeah, it's like the perfect dessert, like crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, and the scale went in.
How sweet is it?
How sweet is it.
Yeah, on a scale of 1 to 10.
Well, it was sweet, and then she put condensed milk over top.
Diabetes combo.
Honestly, this is like, this is my favorite.
I like this more than mango sticky rice.
Diabetes combo.
In my opinion, you have to eat it quick though, with that crispiness, and then the banana Nutella on top.
You really can't beat that.
And then the further inside you go, the more banana you get.
It's fire.
Diabetes combo.
Is this pad thai or no?
Oh, it's a fishball pad thai.
You want one?
Yeah, I'll get the... This one?
Yeah.
Oh, they got intestines too.
Oh, wow.
Is this like part?
Yeah, I'm going to get that one.
What is that?
That's chicken butt.
I'll get one of those too.
What's this?
You can ask her.
Oh, and here you got sauces.
Yeah, there's more over there.
Barbecue.
Is that actually chicken butt?
Yep, I'm gonna get one of those.
See, I'll get two of those and one of those.
We managed to get the pad thai and also we got a bunch of skewers.
I'm not sure which was which, but here are the skewers.
We got a bunch of different flavors, i guess.
Let me try one of these.
I got teriyaki.
I think this is the most like popular one.
This is like meat that they mush up.
Right, it's not like a solid piece yeah, it's like ground, it's like mushed meat, but i see this everywhere.
I think this is the most like popular famous one.
It's fire busting or goo fire, okay.
So i got one of these.
Pretty sure this was my one, yes or no?
I think that's the chicken butt.
This was my one.
Yeah, that's the chicken skewer.
Let me try the chicken butt, though it's pretty fatty though no super fatty and there's a little bit of cartilage in it.
That's why i didn't really want to get it, because it's like.
Will i like if it's pure fat, because i know what chicken butt is, but this one's huge.
Maybe turkey butts.
There's a bone in there.
I'm gonna be honest, not a fan of the butt.
If it didn't have any bone and i could just easily eat it, it would have been better, but there was a pretty big bone in there so, but anyways, this is our pet tie we got.
This was 20 baht, and each of these were also 20 baht, so 60 baht total, but i would say that's a decent amount of meat.
But these noodles look nice.
Put a little chili on the side and it comes with like fish balls.
Yeah, they're just different textures, so they're basically the same meat.
Though if that chicken butt was like really warm, It would be better, but it's like cold, so it just kind of tastes like fat.
You know cold fat.
Yeah maybe I won't like it as much though.
Very fishy.
Let's try the balls.
Balls are good.
We're gonna finish eating this and then head to the Icon Siem.
We just ate and now we're gonna go catch the crane that's over there.
I feel like they could have put some trees to make it a little bit nicer, but the hedges they made are pretty nice.
But we're about to hop on this line and head down towards Icon Siem.
Let's go okay.
So in korea they have the t-money, in bangkok they have the rabbit card, although the rabbit card can only be used on the bts lines.
Everything is private, so there are a bunch of different private like subway providers, so this card i can only use here and one other place.
So it's kind of annoying, if i'm being honest.
But uh, i would like to just have one card for everything, but it's kind of like that.
In japan too, different cities have their own cards, so i'm gonna tap my card can go in.
Those are some nice high rise apartments.
I like those and they're really close to the BTS station.
This is what a subway station looks like in Bangkok.
This is an open air one and it's above ground, but there are underground subway stations as well.
Like, similar to Korea, really similar.
Most of the BTS ones are above ground.
Yeah.
Because they're called Sky Trains and the underground ones are the MRT ones.
Yeah, Sky Train.
Oh, there it is.
Oh yeah, I see it.
To the last stop.
Hopefully the train isn't packed because I think everyone is going to start going that way.
We'll see how busy it is.
Let's line up.
So the train has just arrived and it doesn't look too, too busy.
It's not crazy busy in there.
So yeah, we'll definitely get a spot.
It's not crazy crowded, but as we go further down it's probably going to be a lot busier.
But the doors are about to open and then we could go in.
So let's go.
You got the sugar cane.
I could use a bev actually.
I wonder what that is.
You didn't really like those other fish balls, did you?
Yeah, i'm not really a huge uh, fish ball fan, so i didn't get it.
But yeah, i think we might have to take a boat across.
I don't know.
I thought i saw a walking path like you could walk, like on google maps.
I think the road that we saw is up there, but i don't know if you can walk google maps kind of cook, can we walk up there okay?
So now we're about across the bridge here.
Yeah, we could walk across the whole bridge, but it's probably crowded.
You think everyone here is gonna wait like six hours.
Wow yeah izzy, that's the mall right there.
Yeah, the boat is bringing them directly there.
So we're now like walking through this really dark sketchy, dangerous alleyway.
Yeah, i can barely see you.
We still have over five hours to wait.
Honestly, we probably should have went out later, but we're already here, so let's find some things to do.
Vibes these are the vibes.
Yeah, we're walking there and there are a lot of tuk-tuks there bringing people.
Yeah, probably overcharging you like a lot.
Oh easy, but if you know the price then it's fine.
But yeah, that's like an actual, just like a vehicle.
Me and kyle took one and it had like bumping stereo system and it was sick.
Oh yeah, they usually the ones uh, on that uh green line always have like a really crazy leds and like stereo systems.
You know this is the biggest mall in Thailand.
Is it?
Yeah.
So we're in Icon Siam now.
I can see the first sign there.
So this is the mall.
Can you even go in?
Oh, yeah, I guess.
Why don't we just go inside?
It's busy here.
It's crowded.
But why is the biggest mall on the other side of the river?
Because they had to buy like 20 locks to be able to build it.
This is the cheapest area.
Everything that's like bumping is on the right side of the river.
Yeah. or on the on the east side yeah i think it was a space issue though okay let's go in i guess okay so we just got in no problems we're gonna go up a couple floors this area is kind of like really crowded and it's so busy how big is it very big there's like probably seven or eight floors right at least dog they have the general monster but it's like mushrooms that's funny why crazy why do you think they got the mushrooms we'll go check it out so this is a general monster we went to like a bunch of them in seoul well they're koreans so yeah i mean yeah yeah someone actually just noticed me in thailand so that's the first person that noticed me but it was nice we just took a photo happy new year's everyone what's this okay yeah this is cool i've seen this online i feel like they have something similar in seoul though no and that one moves doesn't it yeah yeah look at that dog what's that dog called the wiener dog no no that's uh it looks like a doberman No, no, no.
It's like those small dogs that are white.
Yeah, those are wiener dogs.
No, no, it has a specific name.
I forget what it's called.
No, that one's like the long ones.
Yeah, wiener dogs.
No, I wanted to get a dog like this.
Oh, it's moving.
This is the dog we saw in Ecuador at that park.
Yeah, but the color is like a Doberman.
Yeah, I forget what it's called.
Should we start moving up?
Yeah, let's keep going.
So we've just gone up like two floors, but you can see down there just how big this mall is.
And you were saying it's the biggest mall in Thailand, right?
Yeah.
Is that actually a fact?
That's a fact.
And it today is especially crowded because of the like new year celebration here.
It's like the biggest area to have, like the new year celebration in icon cm.
But let's keep going up, because maybe there's a nice view of that area, because there's like a big open area outside.
Now that's where everyone would be, because i've seen videos of it.
Dude, i do not want to be in that, like i'm gonna be honest, here's a terrace.
Oh, they have some activities here.
I don't know they're not lined up, they're just watching.
We can go out, it looks like and then outside in that terrace you can see the river.
Yeah, it took a while.
Yeah, so i was faster than you.
How much was yours?
75, same.
How far is it?
Uh, i don't know.
You have to check, check his phone, check your phone.
17 minutes yeah, not bad.
Are you gonna fall if you do that?
No dude, once you get used to it, you don't need hands or anything.
I know i see people like that, but i'm like uh, feel like i would fall, like you, you squeeze with your legs.
You have to walk around that barricade.
No yeah, but i couldn't see him because the map wasn't working.
But yeah, i know, for me i walked too far and then i had to walk back, but he sent me a selfie so i was able to see.
Yeah, i sent him a selfie.
I was able to see who it was Because there were so many.
I was checking every license plate.
For real.
Let's rip.
All right.
Okay, so now we're in Central World.
We were at Icon Siam, but now we're in Central World, a new area.
Yeah, I like this area more.
There's a lot more space to walk and you don't have to be in the mall.
But we'll walk towards the mall.
It's still super early.
Yeah, 8.
Yeah, let's go walk that way.
Are you mid-Kirk of vacation?
Yeah, I'm kind of tweaking.
I need those eye drops, but I don't have them.
Okay, so we're going into Central World and they still have their christmas tree up and hong kong disneyland.
Yeah, we are not in hong kong, so there's a bar up there that you can get into.
That's really popular.
It's in the gay store.
It's still about t minus three and a half hours until midnight, so i don't know if we'll wait here.
If we go out, it would kind of suck to have to come back in and stuff.
But we'll walk around and see what they got here.
Maybe they have food.
I'm trying to lose weight so i won't get it.
Okay, so they have the Merry Christmas bag still, but it's New Year's.
I got a toastie, a triple cheese ham.
Look at that.
This is like super popular to get.
So we're in Thailand trying the most famous sandwich in Thailand, the toastie.
And yeah, it's still about three hours till New Year's.
So I'm ready to go home.
We got to wait it out.
Hopefully this helps.
Okay, guys, we're at McDonald's now.
It's still 9.30, so we have two and a half hours to go.
So we decided to stop at McDonald's and get a drink, fries.
This is something new.
Oh, this is new.
This is coffee banana.
Coffee banana?
They also had corn and pineapple, but I'm like, nah.
And then a McChicken.
This is the one thing I want to try because I've never had it, but a coffee banana.
Oh.
It tastes like a roti, like a coffee roti.
It's like the same type of crunch.
It looks like it.
With ice cream.
Yeah, that's actually fire.
Give it a rating.
Give it your rating.
Good, fire, or butter.
It's fire because that crunch, and then it goes really good with the ice cream.
If it was just this, it would just be good.
But with the ice cream, fire.
I like that.
We still got to wait two and a half hours.
We're probably going to try to kill some time here.
Until then, maybe an hour or two.
Because I don't know what else to do.
It's so crowded.
Can't even walk anywhere.
What time is it?
10...
$10.52.
How do you feel right now?
$10.52, dude.
I'm so tired.
Wait, the 7-Eleven's that way.
Did you want something?
No.
No, because it's only an hour, and then I got to go to bed.
So $10.52, like an hour until New Year's.
Oh, my gosh.
Look at this.
People are lining up all over the sides already.
Low-key kirked right now but honestly, you can see it all from here, so we don't even need to go that far down.
No, but let's find somewhere where we can take a seat at least.
Should we see if there's room at our spot we saw or just walk down?
I don't even want to walk down.
Oh my God, look how far it goes.
Let's try to find one of those crosswalks and just stand there too.
All right, let's go.
Yeah.
Insane.
And we're like not even close.
Dude, we're far.
We're like, the place is like one block over.
Yeah.
And it's still like packed.
There's so many people.
Yo, why don't they let us stand on that bridge?
There's no union.
That's the train dock.
This is the spot for now.
Pretty sure it's going to be right there, isn't it?
Well, this building is going to be blocking most of it, but it'll be all right.
What are we looking at?
Don't move down.
What's happening right now?
Love something.
Oh, it's backwards for us.
It's facing that way.
Yo, how did 2026 feel?
