This week, we’re joined by YouTube host and gonzo historian Bangkok Pat for a tour of a small swath of land near the river- centered around the first stretch of road ever built in the Thai capital. It’s a mission that brings the kind of insanity, twist-turns, and fascinating history that we expect from Pat, and allows us to unravel more than 160 years of the development of Bangkok in one remarkable afternoon. - Thank you so much for your support! It's a massive help to keep us going.
