YouTuber Entrepreneur and Influencer, Alexander David Manns chatted about his favorite hot spots in Thailand.
When was the first time you visited Thailand?
Around June 2019 was the first time I had visited Thailand.
What was your first impression?
Everyone was super nice and the place we travelled to was amazing. I love the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand.
What is your favorite island in Thailand?
My favorite island in Thailand is the Phi Phi Islands because the water on the beach is pretty clear and I love the vibe of the island.
What is your favorite food in Thailand?
My favorite dish is the fried rice shrimp and pad Thai shrimp.
Where do you recommend people stay in Bangkok?
Well there are a lot of wonderful parts in Bangkok but for my wife and I, we stay at the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok as it is beautiful and very chilled.
Top 5 things to do in Bangkok?
- Eat: Thailand has so many food options. If you have a chance and time I suggest Yaowarat Road in Samphanthawong District in Chinatown. There are so many amazing local foods.
- Beach: Thailand has many beautiful and incredible beaches, you need to go once in your life!
- Festivals: We went to Thailand around the time they were celebrating “Songkran.” It is the Thai New Year’s national holiday. Basically people come out and celebrate by pouring water on each other, it was super fun.
- Floating market: When we went to Thailand I had the chance to float on a boat along the floating market. You can buy food and stuff at the same time you are floating along in a boat, it was a super cool experience.
- Market: Thailand has the best street markets that run all day and night. No matter what the time of day, you can always buy unique items all the time as they never close.
Top 5 places to visit in Thailand?
- The Mall – Bangkok has some incredible shopping malls to cover all kinds of lifestyles and budgets. They have have almost everything inside and at really good prices.
- The Zoo – Dusit Zoo in Bangkok is probably my favorite zoo. Although his location has moved to Thanyaburi, what is amazing is that many of the animals were sociable, koalas, elephants, zebras and pandas are just some of the animals at the zoo.
- Museums – There are so many museums in Thailand that you will love to explore.
- Temples – Thailand has the most stunning temples. These are must sees when visiting.
- Phuket – The beaches in Phuket are the best I have ever been to. I love the vibe and white sand.
