48 Hours in Bangkok — Filming a Food Series with a Local Creator
When I landed in Bangkok I knew I wanted to do more than another solo city guide. I found Mai through YouTubers Hub — she's a Bangkok-born food creator, and within a day we'd planned a two-part series.
Day one we hit Chinatown at night. Mai knew every stall worth filming, and having a Thai-speaking co-host completely changed the energy of the video. This is exactly why collab-matching beats filming alone in a city you don't know.
Day two we shot the floating markets just outside the city. If you want to do the same route, both experiences below are the exact ones we booked.
If you're a creator passing through Bangkok, this is the playbook: find a local, split the work, double the audience.
