Tracking Bangkok's Newest Hotspot over Six Months of Gentrification

Video Description

In October 2023, TimeOut Magazine named Song Wat, Bangkok, one of the world's 40 "coolest" neighborhoods- a reference that confused even the district's neighbors, as to that point almost nobody had ever heard of Song Wat. It had only been a matter of months since street artists, filmmakers, and musicians had descended on the alley's abandoned buildings and began something of a revival- and once that happens, all across the world, the next steps are always the same; attention, growth, and gentrification. In this video we track Song Wat over a period of six months while it fights to retain its soul as the world takes notice. - Please "Like" if you enjoy the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications! - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going. http://www.patreon.com/OTRontheroad Website: http://www.OTRontheroad.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/otr.offtherails/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D - 0:00 - Introduction 1:14 - 40 in Flannel 3:51 - Fishball Noodles 6:46 - The Line Drawn by the King 8:43 - Collapse and Revival 12:20 - Pixie 17:05 - The Rise of Song Wat 20:32 - May 2025 23:12 - Cultural Interzone 26:36 - The Cycle of Gentrification 31:28 - Made in Song Wat 34:46 - The Gyoza Sisters 39:39 - Bad Poutine and Bukowski 42:23 - The Legend of Dudesweet 46:29 - May 2025 II 50:35 - Checking In 54:55 - Conclusion 57:15 - Credits and Post-Credits - Video Credits: https://youtu.be/cnVjkE87FDY?si=6G0HGRykM-ZB5q54 https://youtu.be/KQnOL6gZpCE?si=n0bIf31Vd_OQ6CII https://youtu.be/AL78yVoCj40?si=OC5e_Z0EMaxRt9Sj https://youtu.be/Uolj045ZVks?si=m9xKexIDtLIRCDxC https://youtu.be/MhJLhHdr0EA?si=iWHYpFM1RpSl2Cj1 https://youtu.be/uSo-Y8LNsOY?si=M1onxAt5HqHRljIb https://youtu.be/YzF15YUerEY?si=Gm5dmWnzVMsWSwBs https://youtu.be/M6osv4M1BPg?si=lo-Jibi2NvXpcefi https://youtu.be/iyXtg2rJbv4?si=ZXz133DRZnrmxrXf https://youtu.be/aoEoTtus5MU?si=lprlWg5b2t5eGyFI https://youtu.be/Q83xQE1Mn5o?si=D7TAKSR-QI7bjxar https://youtu.be/DZc0kLb7mHc?si=8bw4xIMOtreoFns3 https://youtu.be/w0YSVrP_UiA?si=gS5MTjnfEcIxoZ1Y https://youtu.be/cENNfpC50eo?si=4i5WVLQVkgq1y5vy https://youtu.be/qfUm4Bg_tq0?si=rLWRjnJUEIgsWlk2 https://youtu.be/xFJyPDi-b6g?si=UwAGZJK0LauZuhww https://youtu.be/njcZ0YUoz-M?si=Cc0h4gvGrh_Ujwz7 https://youtu.be/Qdqsj5wCogE?si=OVcyLx4uG0-kU4O2 https://youtu.be/iyXtg2rJbv4?si=vMv0vLYJpFoGpPAm https://youtu.be/pHOyIS1zBtc?si=o5PjoATd9zNz4jCu https://youtu.be/Q3L2y7OBqZY?si=vjOA-LyFKHNPQbFE
