The German wakeboarder has made the Thai capital his winter training base for three months each year.
In the three-part “Searching Bangkok” series, Dominik Gührs explores the famous city’s food, culture, and sport courtesy of a winch and a wakeboard.
The Munich wakeboarder relocated to Thailand to be able to train more readily during the winter months back at home.
He weaves you through a journey through the vibrant color of Bangkok, a tour that you won’t find in any guide book and that explores first hand all that the city has to offer.
Each episode explores a different facet of Thai city life: food first, then sport and culture, with an additional clip of his best action shots during filming.
Wild Rides
The highlights reel includes life inside Bangkok’s famous food sellers, linking up with free-runner Anan Anwar, riding through Thai Wake Park as well as teaming up with DJ Bomba Selecta, and a whistle-stop tour of the Bangkok’s street-art scene with celebrated graffiti artist Jesus.
On his wakeboard, he meanders through the famous Ancient City as well as the bustling Floating Markets thanks to the 1.5-meter tidal range and the lively boat traffic.
“‘Searching Bangkok’ is one of the best experiences of the past few years for me,” said Gührs.
“It’s a really great feeling just to go wild creatively, and get to ride spots where you know, without a doubt, no one has ever touched with a wakeboard before you.”
