Bangkok is the most visited city in the world and also the most misunderstood. This documentary film tracks the development of the Thai capital city from a small trading post in the late 18th Century to the sprawling metropolis of today. Written by Matt Carrell and directed by James Newman this film uses a blend of archive and contemporary footage alongside interviews with some of Bangkok's most colourful expats and local residents such as novelist Christopher G. Moore, journalist Tom Vater, publisher and historian Narisa Chakrabongse, Youtuber Bangkok Pat McKay, the only man to escape from the Bangkok Hilton, David McMillian. Running for over 40 minutes this is a feature-length documentary that covers the history of the city from the cholera outbreak in 1820 to the Covid Epidemic of 2020. Well researched and covering a lot of ground this film is a must for anybody interested in the city that never sleeps.
The film is now avaible to rent or buy on Amazon Prime.
