Your plan for your old laptop sounds sick man. Turn it into a blazing fast, water cooled, titanium monster!
Love to visit that place man, if you are in market for new lens check I think it’s called Camera Exchange or something in 3rd or 4th Floor, tons of 2nd hand lenses and camera bodies and they also take your old gear in exchange.
Chad, if money was (relatively) no object with video editing as the primary focus, what laptop would you buy and what do you consider the best editing software?
Thanks
Fortune Town looks much nicer and cleaner than Pantip Plaza. As always enjoyed your video.
I dig the programmed female voice on the BTS announcing stops and other asides. This male voice with ” the situation ” advisories is a fail.
Taiwan has similar electronic malls. They’re amazing and usually really good pricing.
Hi bro I feel you about the masks it look crazy when people’s have it and check in and out from a store and people were think you crazy when you speak to you self sorry too see like that .
I live in danmark we don’t use the masks at all and we don’t care . But great to see you back too the Bangkok π~~~~~
hey chad thank you for the video , and thanks for the info about the thailand mall , i remember you went there last time with alex and tim k ,
you had lots of fun there you said .haaa its an amazing place bro it looks huge , omg i could spend a fortune there . great to see you got the laptop fixed chad .
ryzon 7 , wow good one chad should run amazing now youve got 20 gb in it .
keep up the great work bro , stay safe , thank you again for the video, peaceeeeeeeeeeeee
You forgot to use the QR code when you exited the building ,yes your distracted by still recording, let’s hope they don’t come looking for you .
Epic content once again! Thanks so much, Chad. I’m a Thai national stuck in Denver, CO but I’m keen to buy some shirts! Do you ship your products to the US?
Why do westerns
Complain about using a mask ?
Thai s donβt want to be in your videos ,
could care less about you filming yourself
ask before you film them
Iβm pretty sure CB Media deleted my last comment π I donβt see it anymore.
Imagine how weird it is for a Thai to be constantly hearing messages on the train in English. Imagine the London Underground with constant announcements in German.
I’m staring at you! Lol. Fortune Town looks cool. π
Thats one thing i like about Asian country’s is the malls/stores and how things are setup enjoyed the vid Chad.
The BTS and MRT gives you two expressions for one basic idea: satanee rot fai faa (sky train station, faa is blue like the sky), and satanee rot fai tai din (underground). I love little victories in being understood and functioning!
Yo CB! Where da underground at? I want to to come there but gotta get around the whole “No Tourists” BS. What do ya say? Help a brother out? LOL
you’re funny dude! I don’t get how you can (want) to stay way down by the river? I’m a lower Suk kinda guy, all my friends are in the Thong Lor, Ekamai, or On Nut areas. I don’t live in BKK but I do visit 2-3 times per year and I prefer to stay on the even side of Sukhumvit between sois 16 and 22. I like the MRT stations aircon over the open platforms of the BTS. While you’re in that neck of the woods you should spend a little time exploring Din Daeng and Huai Khwang areas. The next MRT stop is Thailand Cultural Center and a cool mall Esplanade. At night they put on a big market next door with lots of food and cute girls everywhere! Next stop is Huai Kwang and down (West) on Pracha Songkhro Rd. another night market that has some of the best seafood in BKK! Lots of other fun stuff like Soapy’s and Karaoke bars up and down Ratchadapisek, a few Thai police owned agogo’s down on Sutthisan Rd. (next MRT stop) All and all not a bad place to be and prices are pretty great considering the access.
cheers!
Jealous. My laptop has about 1.3GB available. Maybe I need to visit Bangkok.
Pls take the mask off when you are active and need oxygen, it could overload your system with carbon dioxide, it will stop you from breathing !! Just from my wife , a nurse !! Be careful Chad !!!
I really love your. Videos I’m from Iceland I live in Bangkok can we maby meet ?
He stated at 0:02 I took yesterday off. I think is a little off everyday.
Your channel is taking off and itβs just reward for all the hard work.
There will come a time when you simply wonβt be able to keep up with all the comments etc but please donβt get wound up by all the haters and the keyboard warriors- they seem to attach themselves to all vloggers and are not worth worrying about.
None of us know everything so we can feed off each other.
The mask ain’t a problem mate, gota do what you gota do atm! Just keep the videos coming lol subs are shooting upβ¬οΈ
Another good vlog and thank you for teaching us things about Thailand and BKK (even for us Thais :-)) Have my ticket for July 20 but not sure if theyβll open Thailandβs airspace by then π Donβt pay attention to those haters and complainers! BTW, you can also get the MRT card as well, just like the BTS card, just put money in an ride, so easy and convenient. Iβve been living here in Los Angeles for 40 years and with transportation and the set up here feels so out of date compared to Thailand now. Fortunately I get to visit Thailand once or twice a year to enjoy what youβre enjoying now. Canβt wait!!! Love the self promotion on that big screen! And yeah, why do farangs donβt like to see other farangs blogging themselves? Whatβs up with that? Keep up the good work!
More more more of the mall. I also think a 12v usb charger to hook up to the bikes that you ride and that way while your ridding you can plug your bag in and everything in your bag is plugged in to that. This way the 3hr trips can charge most things not to worry when you get to your hotel and just plug the bag in there to finish charging.
Pantip is better
Im addicted to your videos. But they make me sick of longing back to Thailand. This corona drives me mad.
I like pantip plaza. They have an A&W root beer store on the first floor. Nothing like a rootbeer float on a hot bangkok day to remind me of home : )
Hi there, loving your videos. How long would you recommend for a vacation to Bangkok and surround areas? Just a chill out time, for a solo traveller guy (40s), no sleazy clubs, just food beer and walks?
Great vids, keep them coming. Man, I’m surprised they didn’t shut your filming down. Hearing some of these malls are prohibiting “extended” video filming.
I don’t often subscribe to channels, but watched a lot of yours and good variety and entertaining content bro.
I live just around the corner from you… on Suk 50. I am a car guy, I have an Alfa Romeo here… I’m a Brit, 25 years here. Going to get my wheels refurb’d (SUPER cheap) and a cut/polish Thurs/Fri… Can’t wait.
Lemme know if you want ideas for crazy sh*t here… I have a quarter of a century of random knowledge, and speak Thai fluently. Line: thejudgegiles
Nice to know you Chad… Keep up the good work mate, 100k only days away!
My daily fix of thailand, I LOVE IT π
Chad, nxt time do some more food stuff. Bangkok has so much to offer in that regard.
Stay safe
Man do I miss Amazon Cafes! LOL, I would start my mornings with some Thai Milk Tea before heading out on road trips! That mall just overwhelmed me the times I went there. I never really bought much- didn’t want to carry it back to the US, the prices weren’t that great for what I was looking for but for looking and touching items, amazing!!! Thanks and wear that mask man, it looks just fine on camera! Can’t Vlog if you are sick!!!
Spend the day βWatching YouTube videoβsβ wink wink. Donβt blame you my friend! π
Where I wish I could let go of things like you did what do you think your first step to letting go was
I love the way you call it the situation.πππ
I’d be like a child in a candy store lol
Omg i saw u inside that mall filming! I had no idea it was uπ€£! You are great!
I bet you won’t be able to make this laptop thing that you’re dreaming about.
Quality as always chad
Chad, love your channel and content. Just for your consideration – if your going to build a tower pc from your laptop Mobo – I hope you considered a dedicated video card. adding extra Ram is a plus always but if your building a video editing beast – invest in a decent video card. Stay awesome my dude.
Definitely digging the videos
You should be worried YouTube is tracking you look at your video list it shows every trip that you went on in Thailand. And those foreigners are right nobody wants to know about what you’re doing taking videos I mean 90.9 K subscribers don’t really care. Those people looking at you weird are about as bad as I am.
10:18 another style of balls cooling exercise. lol.
Hey Chad love your vids! I wondered, what videos do you like to watch on YT?
Have a good one:)
Don`t say `Fortune Town IT Mall`, the locals and train staff know it as `Fortune` only.
whenever you got the youtube trophy for reaching 100K sub I’m hoping you will review that thing too
Hey Chad, love your videos, I’m from Atlanta as well. There’s a card you can get for the MRT system just like the BTS system. Keep up the great videos bud.
I’m not sure about the laptop version, but the desktop version of the CPU in your laptop is a beast for video editing. I think it might be the best choice in the price bracket it is in for that purpose. Just a heads-up in case you didn’t know. The laptop version is probably not much slower or less powerful for editing.
Another good video, stay mobile
Seeing monks in tech market was pretty awkward.
Cant wait for the Vietnam trip, as always great videoβοΈβοΈβοΈ
Being less materialistic and keep yourself “light” is the way to go!! Same as me…:-) And there will always be some people being rude, selfish, jealous and bitter about life and have nothing real value in life than being hateful cyber assholes….but we, the majority loves you and and looking forward to every new video of yours!:-))) Btw….under my total 15 months in BKK these last 3 years I have only had “issues” with other foreigners, never Thai people….I guess you know what I mean…hehe…..
That little gamma ray on the thumbnail is so awesome lol
If you find a MRT token with 04.2020 on it I would gladly buy it
been to Thailand a few times. you always put good content.
love how you’re so honest about the vlogging :D…Great content as always!
You gonna start hair make up tutorials with halo light lol look at a led light panel for night you tube vlogs
Bruh as a pc enthusiast please follow through with that pc build I love Thailandβs titanium work
Quality content man! Thanks for taking us along!
I too am a Georgia boy.Enjoy your videos.Sorry to hear about your Lenovo laptop.They are notorious for losing power.The defect is most likely a MOSFET” Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor” It’s a known design problem that they keep making.A good computer repair shop should be able to bypass it for a nominal charge.Good luck,stay safe,and keep up the great videos.
The Yoga into a custom machine seems like fun, but building a fresh video editing machine with AMD’s latest Threadripper offering will blow away any Intel setup you could configure and it will be cheaper. It seems like you know the right people though so have fun with your new machine and I can’t wait to see more videos.
No problem with the mask. Do what keeps people safe.
Best place in BKK to buy watches?
Another great video! Just a tip tho, you can get an MRT card with your passport, the same way you got the BTS. That way you don’t need to stand in line to get those plastic coins, especially if you’re at the Asoke station. I thought you were closer to the Pantip IT mall, you should check that one out as well, but I do like Fortune Town better. It’s cleaner and a lot more stuff to check out and it’s close to Central PhramRam 9.
Keep living your dream Chad. The vids are always worthwhile to watch, no matter what the content is about, it’s in my favorite country after Australia.
Tunning computer, even the computer doesn,t escape from tunning in Thailand.AmazingππππππππππLove from Portugalππππππ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉπ΅πΉ
Covid19 seems to no longer be a concern in America
Your honesty about what you donβt know is refreshing, as so many others make themselves out to be Thai centric experts after spending just a few months in country. Keep on keeping on, your channel is always interesting.
Nice break from the car stuff (don’t get me wrong those are cool)…I enjoy seeing the daily crap that goes on around you…Keep grinding bro…
Stay in Thailand , ….the rest of the world sucks.
Please don’t add Trump in your videos again.
Glad you’re safe in BKK
LOL TRUMP!!!
You know I never heard of this place. Sucks I missed it on my last trip. Gonna have to make another trip to Thailand just to visit that.
Your glasses fog up and we can only see ya smile in your eyes!
So don’t Dodge it? Ram it? Lol
Here I was, peacefully surfing the web looking for something fun to watch when WHAM!!!! A BLITZKRIEG hit me like a tornado, spun me around like a whirlpool, spanked me like mama then set me back down and said WATCH IT BOY! I had to admit, it was like watching a train-wreck…. I couldn’t pull away. This crazy bugger has more personality than 20 rock bands!!! LOVE THIS PLACE! Yeah, I subscribed.
Why do the cashier equipment displays flash?
Have you seen any issues against black people because of the situation, I saw china had.
i like big malls
When you great some one in Thailand languages you say what? It sounds like ‘sweaty cup’?
Very cool mall. Huge
Gopnik
I want to go back!!!!! Now!
If u want to take the train to the airport don’t u take the MRT then connect to the train to the airport…it’s super cheap
Very nice vid!
You’re getting close to 100k!!!
Slow down on the vids bro, I canβt keep up!
πΉπDo you want to trade lives? I should have never left Thailand to come back to the states. The quality of life is far superior in Thailand for men.
Murica is a cesspool on fire right now!
Hey man, thanks for another interesting video. Will you be designing a t-shirt for your recent Isaan Thailand tour?
Screw the haters brother! Your videos rock! Please get back on the bike!!!!!!!
Great work. Looking forward to seeing you on Hangover IV.
Great Video Chad, we need to get the subs up to 10k per month. Your making the content to do it, we need to help you find the Subscribers! 250K , Come on guys lets get Chad a car!!!
I like watching more when your face is covered.
With the mall restrictions I would be less likely to use one of their food courts. Scan and have your temp taken to get in mall. Scan and have temp taken to get into food court. Stand in line to get card and put money on and take off. Reduced seating in food court.
Great video,Chad! Keep ’em comin!ππππ
Love your content! Getting close to a hundred K!!
