DISCOVER QUIET LIFE IN BANGKOK, THAILAND (House Tour + Daily Routine)
today I'm going to be showing you guys a super unique and very quiet life right here in Bangkok and and to show you this guy's daily life there's only one way to get there [Music] sweaty cat is it small boat come back okay okay [Music] good Ness [Music] not your typical mode of transportation right I'm heading over to what's known as the green lung I've done a few videos out here before and every time I've gone out I've only gone out for a few hours and after the last time I did a video this guy reached out to me in the comments section and said hey Chris why don't you come out and show what life is like for those of us that live out here so I'm on my way across the little two minute 20 Baht uh boat ride and uh he's gonna meet me at the pier I have no idea what life's like out here for people who are here day after day after day but we're about to find out [Music] when you arrive over here there's a bike rental shop right at the pier most visitors are coming over here for a group bite tour and it's something that I definitely recommend doing but I'm here to see what life is like all the way out here in the green lung so I rented this bike for a hundred Baht and that's when Dino and his son arrive that's my son [Music] we started riding and I instantly felt like I was transported far away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok [Music] Dino's gonna take me to some of his day-to-day spots around here and we're gonna just see and feel what daily life is like but first we went back to his house and I asked him how he ended up living out here well yeah yeah um I used to live in Bangkok City for almost 14 years but when my son was on the way like two years ago we didn't want to raise him in a condominium so we were looking around at different options and found that nice old Thai guy living next to me and he said hey come over look behind my house you can buy the land there if you want and you took a look out here yes and I came here it took me 15 minutes to get here and I'm in prampong yeah my boat is really like 15 minutes to the center by car 25 to 40 50 depends really on the traffic on the daytime so you have to go by bridge then but yeah usually if I go I use a boat because you can drive there there is no traffic here on the island so just drive to the pier you cross over and you are in the city so the main draw for you was you wanted a bit more of a quiet life in nature but you wanted to be close to Bangkok still yes exactly at the same time like I said I want I want my my son to enjoy nature and what does he do on a day-to-day basis out here well he's playing and swimming half the day I got another friend he has a son in the same age we meet up sometime and he comes over I go with him to his house and are there many expats living out here a few um I have a few few expert friends here like a handful so you basically moved out here to experience a quiet life and I want to understand what daily life's like out here I've only ever been out here for a couple hours at a time what happens you get up in the morning and then what so when I wake up I usually have a little bicycle tour with my son and on the way we will stop eventually at the coffee shop on the river which I really love is a hidden woods and well you he loves to look the boats I can get my coffee and a little breakfast as well well that sounds like a nice start but rather than describe the rest of it do you mind if we go out and you kind of show me maybe we hop on the bikes and you show me around and give me a sense as to what it looks and feels like yeah for sure [Music] so is this your your main mode of transportation bicycle yeah yes I would say everything which is close by at least yeah do you day to day you're pretty much just using a bicycle yeah especially my son loves to go on bicycle tours so he's complaining if I don't do that [Music] so is this how you get to and from Bangkok yes that is a one of two ways so here's the the second boat here which goes to Bangla at this kind of boat and then yeah it's just quite going to what bangna Knox so it feels to the BTS if you wanted to get cars back and forth how do you do that you need to go over the bridge over the bridge is the closest one but it's a roughly 25 minute drive from here to Saturn okay go to the city [Music] [Applause] [Music] one of the crazy things about this place is always riding on these raised platforms sometimes they don't have a railing though you don't want to fall in this is like a six foot drop into thick thick brush and what would be a painful end to your day and even if you don't want to live out here I'd highly recommend coming out renting a bicycle for a few hours and just explore and get lost but uh well I think Dino's found our next stop so this place here is a little restaurant right on the River from a Thai family so there is a daughter mother grandmother everybody there it's very small but very cool good food good food also yeah and what are the how do the prices compare to the city the same no half I mean it's like 50 60 Baht footage yeah oh amazing it's like it's like Countryside one of the first things that I always notice when I come out here is the noise it's completely silent you hear birds you actually hear the the kind of locals chatting as you drive by them oh two hands on the wheel here look at Dina announcement announcement we've got some nice plans over here growing everywhere off we go delicious and you eat here often yeah yeah I do eat your daily how much is this lovely Penang here that's 55 include include The Omelette delicious nice to meet you yes I think he pulled it up he's got the he's got the YouTube channel going local restaurants and bank account what's the name of your restaurant there it is you got to come and find it and eat at this restaurant here here we're gonna do a little selfie one two three again all right nice to meet you man cheers cheers to meet you [Music] hello and I texted you already [Music] oh really yes oh sorry so good to see really yeah oh you know the channel what's your name art art yeah and this is your place yes wow please follow the Orange Path and enjoy all right man so what is this place this is a house with a pool so it's a pool Villa by the Japanese River and we have a small little restaurant here and a bar and also a rooftop that you can see the view from 360 and you play music here and how long have you been open here four years four years yeah what type of guests do you get people coming from Bangkok or people coming from overseas both so both locals and also some expats living in Thailand and also tourists okay and what's the name of the place atra my name art and then reverse tra so this place is really really cool nice little hotel if you're ever looking for a getaway from Bangkok check this place out art the owner is a subscriber so I'm all too happy to leave a link for you art it's got a nice pool if you go upstairs up to the top there's a rooftop deck that if you lived on the island Dino sand sometimes you just pop by for a beer at Sunset and when you see the view up there it's easy to see why that it would be a a great little place for locals to come and hang out not just for tourists that's for sure and then it's right on the riverfront and right across the river art was telling me that's an Italian cruise liner that's just stopped in Bangkok and I didn't know giant cruise liners like that came all the way up the child Priya incredible views back over to the city this is a really unique hotel but I think it's time to go see where Dino lives give you a little bit of a house tour see what his place is actually like [Music] see you later Dino [Music] so Dino walk us through this crazy house man okay maybe we go outside first to get A View From The House of the house itself from outside I I've never seen glass doors this tall man yeah that's four meter 20. four doors there's no there's something about a German describing construction that makes me feel like it's been done right yeah well we put quite high quality things inside here so the the doors and all the windows are from a German window company in Bangkok and the house itself is built from steel beams only you can see that on the side of the building that builds the structure of the house so then I think what is good to point out is that the land on the right and behind you is both governmental land that will not change there will not be a building no one can build there you can't you can't build this National Park and how many bedrooms is this place got three bedrooms and uh an open living room which could be closed but it's open right now how many bathrooms two and a half so we have down here as you see it's like an open living space there is no walls no columns no nothing with kitchen sofa area and dining area and then we got like a little bathroom down here so there's no need to walk up so you're the Builder here yeah I designed the house uh but I did a 3D of the house and then I found an architect to draft the plans because I'm not an architect itself but and then got a contractor to build it so that was the way yeah everything looks to be done in really high quality yeah kitchen is from quick it's a Danish import kitchen and uh yeah then the staircase is something I'm very proud of it's like a floating steps yeah this is really really cool so as we're coming up we have this little Bridge which is like inside look at this so a little Bridge here what floating over the living room oh wow so there's the kitchen and backyard we were all dining in Backyard Kitchen down there so and then we have here I call them the little pots because they're not so big but this guest rooms and the moment one is my son's playroom wow yeah and a huge Windows yeah the views here are spectacular and since they're not going to change I wanted to capture this in every room has that basically so this is a here we got my my sons bedroom uh he wakes up to that every day and not yet he only naps here he sleeps with me in the bed in the night oh right yes he's too little so he got the bathroom for this level just a shower toilet but again with view so you can take a shower and look into the jungle okay so and then we got here my office which is open at the moment because it's just me my wife and my son here so I didn't don't need to close it so we'll have the area open that is amazing man look at this workspace man this place is like a remote worker's dream look at this place yeah and I got I got Fiber Optic internet 500 m-bit upload a download oh really yeah I was surprised also another floating staircase and so there's a third floor up here yeah that's the master bedroom with a wrapped around Terrace and the cool thing here is because I have the steel construction I didn't need to put any column so you can open the whole corner of the room which gives you sense of outdoor indoor living wow talk about a master bedroom that's over there is a bridge way off in the distance yep bridge and what Satan is around there is there can see the mahanacon is a little bit Dusty in the air over there but it is there oh there it is off in the distance digital Zoom it's my spot for the evening I look the sunset over there sometime with a friend you guys know how I always talk about indoor outdoor living well this place you can you don't even know if you're into I'm Outdoors I'm indoors look at this this corner one of the Germans you guys know how to engineer stuff man yeah well then um behind the bedroom we got like a closet walk-in closet which is filled up with my wife's clothes like I mean literally this is mine all the rest is my wife's it's a lot of stuff and it's not even big enough you see the boxes there they're full so and then behind here we have the master bathroom wow yeah absolutely epic in here again this view from the shower this is kind of cool here because uh I planned in a place for the washing machine and some shelves behind the jealousy so if you live here you basically you wash your clothes here you can dry your clothes on the balcony and then put them back inside the closet so you don't need to run up and down and find a place so it's planned like this and yeah that's pretty cool yeah my wife would absolutely adore this master bedroom man so this place is incredible man but my question to you is like you built this insane place and now you're selling it yes well there are there are two reasons for that first of all we have a plan to move to Germany not now but in two or three years and well we I lived 14 years 10 years with my wife in Bangkok City and it is uh I talked to her and I said like hey it would be amazing if for the last years we could stay at a beach and as it comes we found like a land plot in Phuket Kamala which we bought roughly two years ago and so in order to build a house there and having a holiday home we need to sell this one although this is the reason yeah so you're moving from one paradise to another yeah exactly that's the plan life's tough when you're Dino anyway I want to go back downstairs and I want you to tell me how much this place would cost I'm curious okay all right so how much is it okay so we we have it listed now with several agents for 23 million uh but this includes everything like uh everything so everything you see even the decoration I mean I will take my clothes and things like that but appliances Furniture yes it's all included I mean if somebody really would say like I got my furniture I don't want it please just talk to me I mean there's a way for sure but the plan is to sell it all and it feels almost like a like a one in a million TurnKey opportunity I mean I've never seen a place like this in Bangkok is is there other places for resale here in the Greenland uh well not that I know I mean there are several land plots for sale and maybe you can find some old Thai House but for sure nothing uh nothing like a modern house that is simply nothing on the market you would have to build yourself that's for sure yeah and now I got a question for you guys so no well before that I'm back in the heart of Bangkok and just to show you you can take a big boat usually take a little boat over a big boat back but my question for you is are you the one in a million that would want to step into that TurnKey life the way I see it is it's people who want that country lifestyle but to be super accessible to a city a lot of people like The Best of Both Worlds but it usually involves like a two-hour drive to get from a nice country house to downtown Bangkok here we're talking two minute boat ride so if it's you that's been watching drop a comment let me know does that lifestyle speak to you if it does reach out to us RW few real estate that's what we're here for connect at retiredworkingforyou.com and that's Adam's email he'll hook you up with Kirk
