History on Video: Bangkok Pat Talks Exploring & Storytelling [S5.E50]

Greg interviews 'Bangkok Pat,' whose videos on
Bangkok's historical secrets uncover the hidden
layers of this fascinating city. Pat begins with a bit of
personal background, growing up in the UK with a Thai mother, and
eventually losing touch with that part of his history.
Undeterred,in his early twenties, he made the move to Thailand to
re-discover his lost roots. 


The guys discuss Pat's early days as a DJ in Bangkok's club
scene, before getting into the issue of how to survive in Bangkok
as a new foreigner (especially when getting bad advice from other
foreigners). Next, Greg inquires about Pat's interest in history
and how he got into making videos about Bangkok. A history lover
since childhood, he developed a curiosity for different Bangkok
neighborhoods, and due to Covid, felt an online approach would be
most suitable. Due to a few lucky shares, even his earliest
videos developed a following. 


The boys continue with a deep dive into a few of Pat's most
successful videos, and they trade advice on the best research
strategies, and what makes Bangkok such a great city to get lost
in.
