5 Freelance Streets in Bangkok

Bangkok has the most number of freelancers of any city in Thailand.
People who have never been to Thailand assume that freelancers are everywhere in Bangkok.
But only in a few places do they exist.
With covid-19, these freelance street people have had a hard time too.
Some have recovered and some have yet to recover.
I've been to that street of freelancers.

    Thank you for watching my video. I've been thinking a lot about putting Khaosan Road. There are a lot of freelancers on Khao San Road, and there are freelance streets for Thais around Democracy Tower, and even freelance streets for senior Thais. But in the end, the reason Khaosan was omitted is that it is famous, but it is too far away. All of the places I introduced are 5-minute walk from BTS or MRT stations. So Khaosan was left out because it seemed appropriate to make a special episode and introduce it separately.

    The nightlife video was shot with Dji Pocket 2. I had a bit of an accident last weekend and I think I need to replace my camera. The main shooting video is Dji Pocket 2, but in rare cases, GoPro 9, 10, and Insta 360RS are used. For photos that are mainly used in my videos, smartphones and Sony A7m3 and A7RM4 are mainly used. In rare cases canon is used.

    Except for special cases, the main shooting is Dji Pocket 2. In the case of GoPro or Insta 360, it is used on a limited basis due to EIS problems. This isn't a mechanical problem, it's a matter of taste in the stabilizer. It's just that I personally don't like software-based stabilizers that much. Whichever camera you use, shoot at night at ISO 800 or 1600, not auto. For street shooting, there are times when I get help from people around me to a limited extent. Editing and color grading, the post-production of the video, are all done by me.

    I wouldn't consider the back streets of Yaowarat (Chinatown) to be especially 'freelancer' streets. What you see there are mainly drug addicts, or their pimped girlfriends, trying to score a couple of hundred baht - with all the attendant risks to the customer, from STDs, to simple theft, to outright violence...any big inner city, with decrepit hotels and poverty will have the same. What wonderful human beings, seeking to take advantage of their plight! Lumpini and Makkasan aren't much better, and cater to the local working class, with prices and risks attendant... What is truly shocking is the proliferation of streetwalkers in and around Sukhumvit. I guess Covid drove a lot of the bar girls on to the street. Lest anyone think I am on an anti-prostitution campaign: I am not. But this is a very bad look for Bangkok, and for Thailand, and attracts the absolute wrong people to the place. Sex has always been on offer in ALL of Thailand, and SE Asia in general, but was orders of magnitude more discreet than now. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a slovenly, rude, drunk sex-tourist on the whole strip of Sukhumvit, from Asoke to Ploenchit... It's just plain disgusting. The silver lining to this video is that some of these cretins, who can't find their ass with both hands, will somehow find the back streets you show, and Darwin will prevail...out of the gene pool, farang kee nok !

    Thank you for watching my video. I respect your opinion too. This isn't a mechanical answer, it's real. Because most of my videos are a continuous record of the elements (buildings, roads, people) that make up a certain area. So, there is a starting point and an ending point of the video, and the same course is repeatedly filmed at regular intervals. If possible, it is to exclude my personal thoughts and record how a region is changing. How to view the change is not my judgment, but the judgment of the viewer. Accordingly, I respect most opinions as his personal opinions, unless they are criticisms of other viewers.

As I see some of the areas I haven't visited for some time (pre-Covid), I am somewhat shocked at the changes, and more than a bit concerned about the future course that Thailand is seemingly taking. I hope the 'beautification' that the city administration has embarked upon doesn't drive the character, and the local people, away. Bangkok's charm is inextricably bound to them. I really appreciate your honest and open comment, and wish you luck with your channel. I will be watching and subscribing... Cheers.

    After the last Sukhumvit 18 shoot, I had severe influenza again and was completely knocked down for several days. So, I couldn't shoot any more new videos. Therefore, I edited the video to be used as a reference when researching the new series 'Bangkok's Nightlife History', which was being prepared. Because it was made without preparation, the editing was not smooth, and the screen was also made as a reference screen for writing scenarios, so there was a lot of noise. When I'm completely healed, I'll make a better video in the next series.
