Bangkok Trip - Part 1

[ApeTruelove]

Nope. Not visiting the hospital at all. What I meant is do your mind staying in a hotel that’s that near to a hospital.

Unless there is pandemic that required lockdown that area, if not there is nothing wrong staying near to a hospital.

It's a fugging disaster.

Don't go to the following locations.

Chinatown. Really nothing. Seriously don't bother going. You only see alot of Chinese old men .

Instead go hwai Khwang at night if no choice. That place is more China than Chinatown. But I don't know where to walk, like scattered abit here and there. Can find alot of restaurants though.

Nothing at one Ratchada, 2/3 closed down. Can skip. But there are one or two malls there. For malls, I think go siam Paragon better.


Chatuchak is still okay. Can go in the day.
Night time go Owl market.

I think it is still the best to stay in a hotel within pratunam.

Platinum and baiyoke clothes are so so. Only a few selections are from Thailand, and their design are very Thailish. You can see the tag they are all from China.

Just take photo of the tag or design and you can easily find from taobao. At 2/3 the price. Taobao these days have free shipping to Singapore.

Alot of specialty cafes and events but honestly the quality is not even comparable to my cheap Italy Arcaffè beans I lim in Singapore. Got a few good ones in siam Paragon, other than that, most I tried are so so.

Overrall, I think Thailand is still very messy. No flood during my visit but everywhere full of potholes, ponding and traffic jams. The luggage wheels can get easily destroyed by the rugged paths.
Although no flood, I look at their canal, it's smelly and it's like 1 Cup from overflowing.

Their railway also quite jialat, not easy to coordinate transfer of lines. In the end I give up and just take grab. They could just enbloc a few blocks and widen their roads or redo some sewage pipes.

The good think is their massage is still good. Street food still okay but most are selling the same things. The variety isn't much.

I think it might be better to go china GZ look. At least it's alot more organised and easier to communicate.

Such a good place to go, shopping, riverboat, market, wholesale market etc.. "really nothing"
If I go BKK, yaowarat is a best go for me. Morning is the best.

 

[Krystalis]
