✅CHIT LOM | PHLOEN CHIT | Two Classy Bangkok Skytrain Neighbourhoods | Exploration & History

Chit Lom and Phloen Chit, between Nana & Siam are great are next to eachother in Bangkok's downtown. It's awesomely historic, expensive, classy, tragic and very adventurous. I explored these two places and found so much history, so many stories, such unusual sights and streets that are almost paved with gold. Shopping around here isn't cheap at Central Embassy but Central Chitlom has been one of Bangkok's top department stores since 1973. A lot has gone down in this area over the years, foiled terrorist attacks, huge fires, loss of many lives and landmarks that have stood for well over a century. Wanna rent or buy property here? Expect to pay a premium, but you can see why. Would I want to live around one of those high end avenues? Find out in this video. Enjoy!
