The Big Bangkok Statistics Episode [Season 4, Episode 18]

The Big Bangkok Statistics Episode [Season 4, Episode 18]

You might be surprised to learn that two fellows as cool as Greg and Ed can be a bit nerdy, but it's true! So, in keeping with that theme, this week your hosts jump into a potpourri of Bangkok statistics. Do you know how many sqkm Bangkok is? Or how big Thailand's GDP is? Or how many airports or kilometers of rail track the kingdom has?

In a wide-ranging discussion about the numbers that make up Bangkok (and Thailand), the boys cover geography, population density, population demographics, religion, the economy, minimum wage, education, transportation, telecommunications, and even electrical consumption!

As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.
