39
Yeah, I do have some stuff.
40
I want to well, I'll give away or sell.
41
I don't really care.
42
I just don't want to carry it because it weighs so much.
43
It's like my big winter jacket that I had my like my long jacket.
44
Yeah, but I don't know if you noticed, but it's so busy.
45
Like the train was crazy busy.
46
It's always had massage.
47
I thought we're in Thailand.
48
Dude, I could do a head massage maybe at the end of the day
49
because I don't really want my head to be oily.
50
I don't want to be oiled up.
51
Oh, there it is.
52
You can see it from here.
53
But honestly, you can walk in any of these streets and find something to eat.
54
Like there's so many options.
55
Honestly, if I see like a good pad thai here, I'll just stop.
56
But I just saw this place on TikTok.
57
Someone, a local recommended saying most underrated pad thai place that they've eaten at.
58
But I don't know.
59
We'll see.
60
We'll see what they say.
61
I don't really want Western food like bagels.
62
I mean, it's not that expensive actually.
63
70 baht.
64
But I want Thai food in Thailand.
65
And pad thai is definitely one of my favorites.
66
What kind of Thai food have you tried already?
67
I don't know the names.
68
What was the pork thing yesterday?
69
I don't know.
70
But it was It was like that basil, like spicy sauce.
71
I don't know.
72
This one's not that big.
73
It looks like there's one inside another mall.
74
It's huge.
75
And there's one is pretty big.
76
It looks like multiple floors.
77
Oh, maybe it's multiple floors.
78
Looks like it.
79
Oh, and they got their stuff set up with mannequins.
80
Yo, that's the fit you need right there.
81
For real, that's the Christmas fit.
82
That's the elf fit.
83
Okay, no photos and videos, so we'll just put it down and go in and check it out.
84
I'll take a picture.
85
So let's go.
86
So we're inside here.
87
This is kind of like what it looks like.
88
We didn't end up buying anything anyways.
89
Like, there is just so many options, and there was nothing I really liked.
90
But now we're gonna go eat pad thai, and that is something I do like.
91
Yeah, let's get that.
92
We were just browsing through.

97
This is like a Japanese area or what?
98
Dude Thai people love Japanese stuff.
99
Do you see like with the restaurants and stuff?
100
Yeah, there is like a huge amount of Japanese restaurants like in a Japanese area.
101
They're just everywhere.
102
But I love Japanese food.
103
Like Japanese curry is one of my favorite dishes.
104
Like top five probably.
105
What about Coco Ichiban?
106
Coco curry from Japan dude?
107
Oh my gosh.
108
That is one of my favorites.
109
I love that.
110
The first time I ever tried that I was with my mom in Japan
111
and we were in Kyoto looking for somewhere to eat and we saw that so we went in.
112
We had that for dinner that night too and for the next couple days.
113
Anyways we're gonna go eat now so let's go.
114
This area from Pong is like Really popular with expats, obviously.
115
Bye.
116
Specifically with Japanese people, that's why there are a lot of Japanese restaurants, Japanese stores, Japanese like everything.
117
And there's also a Don Don Don Quijote.
118
Which is like really popular in Japan.
119
Don Quijote.
120
Don Don Don.
121
Don Quijote.
122
So we're gonna go to that too today.
123
We're gonna visit Don Quijote, buy some stuff.
124
Definitely buy some Japanese snacks.
125
I don't know.
126
I'm not really a Japanese snack expert, but...
127
This area is popular with specifically Japanese people, whether they're like traveling as tourists or living here as expats.
128
Okay, so this is where we're gonna stop for lunch.
129
It was recommended on TikTok by someone and it actually has a user's choice by lineman and a grab thumbs up.
130
Oh, it's closed.
131
Just coffee.
132
I think I saw this.
133
What does the sign out here say?
134
- Oh yeah, we oppose, okay.
135
It's a pad thai place and a coffee shop, so that's why they're close.
136
So unfortunately, that restaurant was closed, but at least we were able to cut our key.
137
And now we're just walking beside this busy road down towards Thuglore.
138
And this area is a lot quieter than I thought it would be.
139
So the stop back there, Phnom Phong Phong or whatever, that place was busy.
140
But in between these two stops, it's not that busy and everything is closed.
141
Like, look at all these stores.
142
Yeah.
143
Well, what day is it today?
144
Today is January 2nd.
145
So everyone's probably on break for taking a holiday holiday until the fourth.
146
So holiday till the fourth.
147
So all these stores and stuff are closed.
148
pretty much like malls and like maybe big chains open.
149
There's this cafe I want to go to called the Kham Coffee.
150
So hopefully that's open because at least we could go get a coffee there.
151
We walked like 20 minutes.
152
Couldn't really find a restaurant.
153
It was mostly just Japanese food.
154
And obviously I want to eat Thai food.
155
So we're in 7 -Eleven now.
156
Let me get the Hawaiian pizza.
157
I love Hawaiian pizza.
158
Let me get this one.
159
This and a water.
160
This is going to be our lunch for today.
161
I never had this toasty flavor before.
162
You can let me know if you guys had it.
163
But it's like, oh, you can see a pineapple right there.
164
It's Hawaiian flavor.
165
Ooh, it's hot.
166
like Hawaiian pizza.
167
Like I'm not gonna lie.
168
I guess it literally is the same.
169
I guess it literally is the same thing.
170
Does it have pizza sauce?
171
It could do with more pizza sauce but just dough, ham, cheese and pizza sauce.
172
But overall it's pretty good.
173
Maybe I would get it again.
174
That's what it looks like.
175
I do think the original one or not the original one but the triple cheese one.
176
That one's fire so I'd probably just stick with that one.
177
Honestly I like the original like just without the triple cheese the best.
178
Because that one gets the crispiest on the outside.
179
I like the triple cheese.
180
Overall I wouldn't say this If this is busting, I would say it's fire.
181
It's fire.
182
I would have it again.
183
Three young guys pointed at this side and started laughing and then I read it.
184
What?
185
Yeah.
186
Say that word.
187
Let's go.
188
What's that restaurant called?
189
Okay, so we're at Cum.
190
Specialty coffee.
191
If it's all dudes working there, I'm gonna be a little suspicious.
192
Hopefully they didn't put anything too special inside my coffee.
193
Dude, these are some nice vehicles here.
194
Wow.
195
I guess everyone that comes here is just bawling.
196
For real, where is it?
197
Bawling like that.
198
I think this whole thing is the coffee.
199
I got their signature coffee.
200
You guys will see it.
201
And Leon just got a regular latte.
202
But I would like to sit inside, but we can't film in there.
203
So We have to sit outside.
204
Now it's ringing.
205
So I'm going to go grab it.
206
I'll be back.
207
Okay, so we got the coffees here.
208
This one is like the biscuit coffee.
209
This is a...
210
Biscoff.
211
Biscoff, yeah.
212
Well, they call it the biscuit coffee, but it's Biscoff.
213
But these actually look good.
214
And this is the name, KUM.
215
And these are just some paper coasters.
216
because you don't want to stain the wood.
217
I think this is whipped cream on mine.
218
Honestly, I thought it was ice cream.
219
- Okay.
220
I just realized I don't even like coffee.
221
That's not going to taste like coffee.
222
I'll tell you that right now.
223
It's going to be sweet.
224
I have a straw here.
225
Let me open it.
226
Yeah, honestly, I think I would just prefer a Thai milk tea, but I don't think they have that on the menu.
227
But this is like a co -working area.
228
I assume the Wi -Fi is probably pretty good here.
229
I'm going to actually do a Wi -Fi test, but this is a nice area, but it's kind of like far from where I am.
230
Let's try this now.
231
Okay, that is very sweet.
232
I'm not the biggest fan of coffee, but It's good.
233
This is a really popular area.
234
I think you come here more for the vibes in the coffee.
235
All the vibes are good.
236
Like this is a nice area.
237
But yeah, we're gonna finish these coffees and then go to Don Quixote, which is literally like the next building over.
238
So it's right beside us.
239
And if you're Japanese, you know what it is.
240
And if you're not Japanese, watch the video and you'll find out what it is.
241
Don Quixote.
242
And I'm sure you guys know their song.
243
Don, Don, Don, Don Quixote.
244
Yeah, I don't know.
245
I don't really have a good beat, but anyways, let's go in here.
246
They actually have indoor sports as well.
247
They have like this drum thing, soccer, rock climbing, baseball, cool, and basketball.
248
Let's go in.
249
- Dude, this looks good.
250
- That does look good.
251
- It looks like a Rice Krispies, but this flavor.
252
Yeah, like a chocolate.
253
It looks like it's held together by like that marshmallow though, the melted marshmallow.
254
Ooh.
255
I like these.
256
I like these.
257
How much are these?
258
Not that much.
259
Okay, I'm gonna get...
260
It's like $1 .50.
261
I'm gonna get some of these.
262
Oh, you have the Korean Pepero.
263
Number one in Korea.
264
Or you think I'm gonna buy a lot of candy?
265
Yeah.
266
Yeah, if I buy, I might buy like one or two things, but I'm not trying to get...
267
I'm actually trying to lose weight.
268
I got some bad news for you.
269
This is some of my favorite stuff.
270
There are a lot of snacks here and a lot of candy.
271
I think most people come for the candy. and stuff.
272
This is huge.
273
There are multiple floors in this building.
274
But there's a lot of like Japanese products too, like skincare stuff.
275
And yeah, most likely.
276
I think the bottom part is mostly like, yeah, it says out there cosmetics, home goods, head goods.
277
Oh yeah.
278
Here's more flavors of the same brand.
279
Get this Coca -Cola one.
280
No, I like grape.
281
Genuinely, I'm not really sure what's like popular to get.
282
But I do think people spend a lot.
283
Oh, don't you love matcha?
284
I don't.
285
I do not like matcha.
286
Do I need anything?
287
I don't think so.
288
Maybe some figurine.
289
I'm not really a good consumer.
290
unless it's Apple products.
291
Okay, so we got these gummies.
292
I've had these before in Korea, but I didn't really see anything else I wanted in there.
293
We just walked around Don Quijote.
294
I'm sure if you like shopping, that store is really good, but I'm not really a huge shopper.
295
But this is what they look like.
296
They kind of do actually look like grapes.
297
And you could like peel the skin back.
298
Oh, wow.
299
very soft.
300
They are like similar to a grape and they are very, very sweet.
301
Overall pretty good though.
302
There are like a lot of flavours though but I always just get the grape one.
303
- - That right there or those buildings right there, those are all high rise buildings.
304
And I believe they are connected, but those are high rise apartments.
305
Okay, so right now we're walking on the sidewalk beside the road.
306
There is a mall just across the road, as you can see.
307
There's a mall across the road.
308
And question guys, what do you do when you want to go from this side to that side?
309
Across the road, go across the road, or go through the road?
310
It's you could go across the road
311
or you cross the road either one you do not go
312
through the road through is like passing through something I cannot go through the street now.
313
We're walking to Ekamai station.
314
It's about like a from back there 20 minute walk We've walked about halfway so another
315
10 minutes I would say
316
but it is kind of a really nice day like you could see I'm wearing long pants
317
and a black t -shirt But I'm not too hot and you can see Leon.
318
You see Leon has all black on I actually feel good.
319
- He has a backpack on, turn around, do a spin.
320
He has a backpack on, long pants on, black pants, and a t -shirt.
321
- But if you feel my lower back, it's not sweaty or anything.
322
- And he has sunglasses on and a hat.
323
- And what's this called?
324
- That's, I don't know, to keep your glasses from falling off your face.
325
- Is that real?
326
- Yeah, so this kid tripping, for real.
327
I'm not sweating, but I am warm.
328
I am warm, but I'm not sweating.
329
I don't really tend to sweat.
330
Usually people that sweat have a fast metabolism, a fast metabolism, so they tend to sweat because they use a lot of energy I guess.
331
I'm not really sure what the science behind that.
332
My metabolism is about normal.
333
So I don't really sweat that much, but I have friends that in my shoes right now, they would be just drenched in sweat.
334
They would be drenched like just sweat dripping down the face, the whole shirt completely wet, but I'm dry.
335
I'm completely dry.
336
I ordered a Thai basil rice from that lady and I just got a water and a banana smoothie.
337
Both of these cost me 50 baht.
338
Not a bad price for water and a large banana smoothie.
339
And it's nice because this building is nice and cool.
340
And so is this but...
341
See, oh, it's done.
342
Let me go get it.
343
This is the meal.
344
I'm not sure the actual name.
345
I think it's called like Thai...
346
Batchapau.
347
But in English like Thai basil rice or something.
348
But we mixed this all together, right?
349
This is the same thing that Mark Wiens.
350
I think...
351
Yeah, that's what he has.
352
But he has Wagyu beef with his.
353
Well, he has a bunch of different options.
354
Is it his favorite dish?
355
I think so.
356
That tries food mostly in Asia, but also all over the world and he has a restaurant that's actually just across the street, but it is closed today Unfortunately,
357
this is the same thing he sells so I've never had this before
358
so I'm gonna try it now And then
359
when we go to eat at his restaurant one day when they're open I can compare them.
360
Let's try it It's not dry.
361
It's really moist.
362
Yeah, it looks good, but Spicy, oh yeah, it's spicy.
363
Good thing.
364
I have this drink.
365
Oh, thanks Wow, it is pretty good, but it is also very spicy.
366
Wow.
367
Overall pretty good.
368
I'm excited to try the one he has at his restaurant.
369
Yeah, it's a little different.
370
He uses duck eggs and he fries the egg white before the egg yolk.
371
No, but this is actually quite good.
372
I'm not the biggest fan of like super spicy food, but I would still eat it.
373
But apparently Thai food is some of the spiciest in the world.
374
And it is spicy, but Korean food is also very spicy.
375
But we're going to finish this and then head out.
376

384

385
So I wouldn't take legal.
386
I'm down to he already so cranky jeans and one hoodie, which I click the link in my description to join popular trendy.
387
Everyone wants to be there because I do need to buy some t -shirts because I.
388
Yeah, the unique thing about it is you can literally sell.
389
Dude, I could do a head massage maybe at the end of the good pad tie here.
390
I'll just stop.
391
But I just saw this place inside another mall.
392
It's huge.
393
And there's one.
394
We were just browsing through the t -shirts.
395
Buffalo with expats, obviously.
396
This is where we're gonna stop for lunch.
397
It was recommended.
398
Everything is closed.
399
Look at all these stores.
400
It could do with more pizza sauce, but just dough, ham.
401
Everyone that comes here is just bawling.
402
For real, where is this?
403
Bawling.
404
But it's kind of like far from where I am.
405
Let's try this now.
406
I'm not trying to get fat.
407
I'm actually trying to lose weight.
408
Genuinely, I'm not really sure what's popular.
409
Those are all high -rise buildings.
410
And I believe they are connected.
411
You could go across the road or you cross the road for a fast metabolism.
412
A fast metabolism.
413
But it is closed today.
414
Unfortunately, we're gonna finish this and then head out and
415

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
