Slowed Down Bangkok - A Travel Video

On the 18th of August 2014, I had the opportunity to be a traveler in my own city, Bangkok. A friend of mine from New York had only 12 hours in Bangkok, so I decided to show her around, and this video summed up our experience exploring this wonderful city together.

The main purpose of this video is to show a balanced perspective between a local and a traveler. Bangkok is so much more than parties, and this should shed a brighter light on Bangkok.

Enjoy.

Thank you, Danielle Armer, for being such a great companion and for all those beautiful smiles throughout our little trip.
