What this video covers
James, the owner of Triteia, spends two days in Bangkok during a multi-week Thailand stopover while the boat is elsewhere.1:01 He stays in a capsule hotel in central Bangkok for roughly $20 a night — more comfortable, he notes, than the V-berth aboard Triteia.0:25 On Chinese New Year he meets Rebecca, a Los Angeles friend he had not seen in ten years who is now Bangkok-based, and the two attempt to reach Chinatown for the celebrations but abandon the plan when the crowd becomes dangerously dense.1:13 That evening they visit Wat Pho, the temple complex housing the reclining Buddha — a gold-leafed sculpture 150 feet long and 50 feet tall — arriving around 6:45 p.m. and finding it quiet and well-lit.9:18 James also books a $35, two-hour longtail boat tour on the river through central Bangkok, a style of boat he expects to encounter again when sailing Thailand's west coast.20:49 A tarot card reading from a street fortune-teller and giant catfish eating rainbow-colored Cheetos at a riverside stop round out the visit.29:28 No navigation or technical sailing content appears; the focus is Bangkok tourism.
