What $1,000 Per Night Gets You in BANGKOK, THAILAND (Four Seasons Chao Phraya)

Just give it to us, we'll do the laundry, we'll be back in your room later tonight. Look at this, the cars out the front here are unbelievable. This is a pandan lemongrass shake, we've got a pad thai, so excited for this, and the chicken satay. Crystal caviar. There's the duck, look! The attention to detail here is insane. Lucy said they've put something out, what did you say? They've embroidered some face tissues for us. Like, I have never in my life been up to a hotel that personalised initials onto items. when we first came to Thailand in 2018 we were living the ultimate true backpacker lifestyle but in today's video we are back and we've got the opportunity today to show you the ultra luxury side of Bangkok Thailand there's some things here that i cannot quite believe are happening and if this is a side of Thailand that you want to explore more of there is ample opportunity here Bangkok really is a capital city that gives you the ultimate range of different experiences i'm talking street food for under a dollar right the way up to where we're staying today so we want to show you what you can get at the highest level of luxury in Bangkok at one thousand dollars per night so welcome to today's video super excited to show you around this place but let's switch over to yesterday Bangkok Thailand for the first time for us in eight years wow we're back this is where it all began for us at the very start of our YouTube traveling we came to Thailand it was our one-way ticket we left the UK we quit our jobs eight years ago and here we are still making YouTube videos with two kids welcome to the vlog we have picked up some cash we are ready for street food in bangkok we're ready for picking up whatever we feel like when we're walking around this is going to be very different though this next thing we're doing we've booked a grab which is interesting because we need a big car because we've got all these suitcases there's four of us we've got so much luggage the only option was to book a 10 seater van cost 700 baht which isn't too bad it's not too bad it was kind of 200 baht more than a regular car but we are heading off to a hotel that we have never stayed in before we've never stayed in this kind of level of hotel before and we definitely definitely when we first came to thailand did not stay in a place like this we would never have dreamed of doing something like this it was something that was so out of reach in the past when we first came to thailand we stayed in a very small accommodation where you just get a tiny room and a bed i remember the bed was super small for both of us but this time around somehow eight years later we are able to create this video and show what a luxury experience is like in bangkok but don't worry guys we're still going to be getting our street food we're still going to be getting that incredible pad thai on the street food i mean how much was it when we first came here like like a pound 80 80 baht something like that no it was no no like 60 wasn't it no I know I think it was like sixty I thought it was less than a pound or I made that up yeah I feel like it's gone up now probably but it's still gonna be delicious and cheap cannot beat Thai street food haven't had it for years so excited to be here and yeah it feels like a bit of a full circle moment because this is kind of the last leg of our that's my phone it's kind of the last leg of our Asia trip coming to an end we're back in England shortly so this is like huge for us coming here at the very end of the trip with the two kids now madness here is our ride the biggest van ever what have you ordered yeah it might be a little bit overkill but let's go let's go two vans actually proved quite nice because we've got so much space Lucy and the kids are up front I've been managing to get some nice shots out the window here plenty of room if we'd met some friends at the airport maybe we could have offered them a ride but anyway we are here down in the streets in Bangkok so so cool looking out see people selling fruit selling food all the shops just drove past a really nice temple and it's just so cool to be down here in Bangkok after so long wow we are pulling up to our hotel we're staying at Four Seasons the entrance entrance oh my goodness the cars the cars out the front here are unbelievable wow this this looks so nice I suddenly feel very underdressed even oh

this is absolutely beautiful, what a way to end off this whole Asia trip that we've been on for months incredible, just cannot believe it and here is the view, wow we can see the river, the rest of

coffee, i'm a coffee uh what's the word connoisseur, i do like my specialty coffee, let's see how the most luxurious hotel in Bangkok fares with its coffee, very nice, that is not hotel coffee, that is very very good, okay quick change ready for dinner we're trying out one of their restaurants this evening it's i think it's a cantonese restaurant and the menu looks amazing so very excited for that the sun is setting behind us with that amazing view and i just wanted to show you something that's kind of blown me away slightly here i was looking here and i saw this here it's like tissue like a flannel and i thought gw that's george's initial how funny it must be the company that make them then i went to the other side and i thought oh there's another company that's ld which two companies that make them with our initials they've embroidered some face tissues for us like i have never in my life been up to a hotel that personalized initials onto items that i assume you can take home with you like that is next level so george has just gone to drop some laundry down the road because going back to england without a huge suitcase of washing to do is the one so yeah that's happening and because of that we're running maybe five to ten minutes late to dinner but they've got a qr code that you can scan for a whatsapp group chat and we've move the reservation back on whatsapp seamless communication i've done something bad i've done something terrible i have not planned something well enough we are about to head to the nice restaurant here at the hotel for dinner and i'm wearing the same clothes that i flew in today i'm wearing shorts i really don't even know if they're going to let me in i've just been out to drop laundry there's a laundry place around the corner so we're still like that backpacker traveler dropping our laundry the outfit i wanted to wear or the the one outfit on this trip i've been wearing is like this black shirt these light colored pants long trousers they're in the laundry and i wanted to wear them for this dinner this evening hopefully it's not a big deal we'll find out i mean lucy looks beautiful as always lucy's worst case you are gonna have to we're gonna have to like i'm gonna have to take this bit downwards we have to cut it because you could get away with wearing a skirt true cut the bottom there's quite a lot of material here yeah we've got to fashion something together just quickly jumping in i genuinely hope you are enjoying today's vlog and if you've been watching the last couple of vlogs on the channel this series it's so fun making these videos we've been uploading on this channel for 10 years and behind the scenes i'm just currently reading a ton of comments so thank you so much if you comment as well on the vlogs reading and replying to comments is the fun part of my day today but i do have a lot of work other stuff to be getting on with as well and this is helping me through this is the new i'm trying the pineapple because lucy and i are working with Holy at the moment they've sponsored today's vlog and this is exactly what i need to get my jobs done today this is a sugar-free energy drink basically and i like the story behind Holy it's basically three friends who discovered that the industry around soft drinks and stuff haven't changed for so so long and they've done something different packaging is cool product tastes amazing and no i'm not just saying that because they have very kindly sent a ton of these new flavors to the house so they come in these little sachets you literally just mix it with water and then you're good to go and you don't need to feel any of that guilt when you're drinking these so we have two discount codes juicy vlog 5 for 5 pounds off your first order or just use the code juicy vlog for 10 off your total order if you're not sure what flavor to pick up they do a starter set deluxe so i'm going to enjoy this pineapple flavor delicious i can now get on with all the things i need to do there's a link in the description if you want to go and check this out there's the dark look oh maybe that is a pig the attention to detail here is insane it literally feels like we've got a waitress just fast like she's the most attentive person every single thing we need she's on it we've got a tea that's amazing mate that's not here but i'm here we've got a little tea of the day to start which is really nice and it's in this tiny i've never seen a saucer like this, that's a nice shot of my arm, tiny little delicate glass cup and saucer, i'd love some of these at home, they're really nice, we actually pre-ordered our food, we've got a really nice menu coming and we're all just going to share it, Koda's absolute favorite at the moment is roast duck, like Peking duck, and we were like we have to get that because he's obsessed with the duck, the pancakes, the cucumber, um so yeah, he's very excited for that other week and we've just got this really really nice view of the like water feature, the lobby is just opposite over there, we're trying to get our bearings at the hotel, and tomorrow it's still going to be in this video but tomorrow's plan is to basically like explore every inch of this place show you the kids club show you the swimming pools the options there show you the breakfast food show you other options at the hotel for food, i think we're going to have some dinner by the pool side, yeah it's so nice just to slow down for a minute because i think i've said it before but this trip's been so fast-paced been so chaotic that coming somewhere like this which is like the ultimate place to relax and actually having the time to relax in because so many times we check into hotels we use them for a place to sleep at night we may have a dinner or something there we might have a few breakfasts there but we never actually get to enjoy and take a minute, so out of all the places to do that, i think we may have chosen a good one here and to rest up ready for our very long flight home in a few days from now, very nice, thank you thank you, it's lovely, very nice, very interesting uh innovation, you know, oh what the tripod, yeah Yeah. The tripod is cool. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. The tower is also really cool, to be honest. Love to be content creators. Yes, of course. We just need to get a tripod one of these days. Everything takes time. That's right, that's right. We'll get there. We do get there. Thank you. Once again, on the channel, if you watch regularly, you'll know the different types of tripods we like to use. Today it was this cup, which the wine man appreciated. And I'm appreciating this wine, delicious. here we have some prawn toast with crystal caviar on top lucy's going to try it's the coder actually okay so we've now also been told what the utensils are for and in which order so there was a golden fork here which was for the amuse bouche which we've now enjoyed and eaten then there's your chopsticks for you eating the food you're gonna eat then there's a spoon for if you have soup then the chopsticks on the right side of that are for sharing so if i want to serve like lucy some food or we just want to share and move food around the table you use these ones you don't actually eat from these ones now i know because we've had similar layouts in restaurants lately and we've had no idea we've just kind of been picking up whatever now we know the etiquette but anyway going to go in with this crispy prawn toast with caviar on top now i don't know if this is like a one bite thing i'd say two i think two bites in half this is fancy this is an amazing restaurant it's just lovely setting here oh oh that is delicious crispy prawn toast the caviar is salty just adds like so much just add so much flavor just just add so much flavor in your mouth so i've removed george from the shots to enjoy for myself cheers guys oh thank you so this one our chef they have steak for three steaks that's why we got three layers of pork we got the crispy skin the fat and the meat in one bite very nice blend very well with the little mustard very nice thank you so much thank you okay gonna try this peking dark roast dark this is the third time we've had it on the trip and every time it's slightly different yeah it was peking at us wasn't it it was this time it really was did we film the head a minute ago i don't know maybe okay here we go etiquette do you use chopsticks no you cut it up with a knife and fork how do you think i reckon you probably use chopsticks right no surely not i don't know i don't like this oh my god okay yeah probably as miss rachel would say so good we're at the end of the trip guys the kids are both on screens we're three meals out a day with two young kids at least one meal a day we've got the screens out and it's okay so good the homemade hoisin sauce is unbelievable was it was it um homemade hoisin sauce or hoisin homemade sauce not funny so we have just got back to the room after a lovely meal

i say when i have food i need to think of some new adjectives george so good one thing i noticed they're not like little hotel pastries they're like full-on like bakery pastries like a full-size almond croissant here just you pay four or five pounds for that at home these days yeah it's mad you had to go one more didn't you than me yes okay just spent some time at the kids club while remy took a nice long nap in the room really good kids club we actually went down to the riverfront thank you guys for leaving the lift open for me thank you all um we spent some time um at kids club we fed the fish at the river i'll put some clips in they gave us little buckets of fish food and we went down to the riverfront and like threw it in and they'll be like i think they were catfish they were huge fish with whiskers so i assume cats cats i'm gonna assume catfish i don't assume that they were cats they were definitely fish and now the plan is to head to the pool although there was no sun around us free when we went past so i'm hoping we can find a little spot so just leave our stuff and then come in and out of the pool and just spend a good couple of hours down there the weather is insane it's like 36 degrees today so i'm slightly nervous we're all sun creamed up you're not wearing any sun cream we're all apart from george wearing loads of sun cream i'm ready for a nice
