Last night the view of the bar on the top of the Staybridge Suites Sukhumvit Soi 24.

I didn’t think you were commenting about me. I have commented before that years ago both QF and VA would seat me with the unaccompanied kids or parents with very young children. I enjoyed being of help and found kids much easier to deal with than adults. Then some one complained about males...

These walks I do alone. I am acutely aware of what many others think when they see an elderly man watching children so that is why there are no photos. For most of the time I watched I was standing next to a woman who was one of their teachers. She was delighted that I was observing the...

On Silversea these days you will see on formal nights many men with no jacket or tie. A few Maitre’Ds will lend a jacket which invariably is carried to the table and is left over the chair. I though actually prefer to dress up and have had 2 jackets plus a dinner suit on cruises longer than 30...

So we come to our last 2 visits to the lounge. first the evening. I had the Tom Yum and the chicken. Both excellent flavours. Then our last breakfast. I decided to try the Chana Masala. OK but I don't think I will have it again. On check in they insisted we take the 4pm check out...

Food plays an important part in our day particularly evenings in the lounge. Mrsdrron had the duck. Once again I started with the mushroom soup and then the snapper. But on the buffet for the night was a new dip - Muhammara a spicy red pepper dip originating from Aleppo, Syria. I really...

A pleasant place to walk around. A water purification system is part of the park. Leaving the park and back to Central World the traffic police were getting into the swing of Christmas.

The second building though packed with tiny stalls and lots of customers. their food court is mainly on the road outside. Across the road is the Pratunam market. Real mangosteens. Pre covid we thought they had become expensive at 70 - 90 baht a kilo. Now 480. between the platinum Mall...

Evening comes around quickly. Another excellent Thai soup tonight. The pork curry was pretty good to. Morning and I tried the Thai fried rice with egg. I have had better. Today I decided to walk up to the Platinum Mall. First had a walk around the Market Mall. it really isn't doing so...

After lunch I went across to the Gaysorn Amarin for a better look around, I wonder what they serve at this beer garden. Then up to a large food court on the first floor. More outlets than a year ago. You can go from the 4th floor across to the hyatt and then down to the Erawan shrine...

Wat Khlong Toie NOK. Bangkok. Spent some time watching a lot of young children rehearsing playing drums, singing and dancing. Delightful. Several other tourists ignored them.

I had two F&B vouchers expiring the next day each worth $US20 plus the Ambassador credit which is "up to" $US20. The ambassador credit was given as 600 baht but the reward vouchers came to 685 baht. So we applied them to lunch at So Cal. Mrsdrron had the beef tartare which she enjoyed. I...

This year there is way more Christmas decorations and the carols are being played every where. Here is some of the decorations. The first is in the Gaysorn Mall. You walk through this to the Gaysorn Village and from there you can enter the Intercontinental. To confuse matters a new Gaysorn Mall...

Now at the spot where U turns are possible. insane.

Now to the food stalls which are here all year. Now walking back along the elevated walkway to cross the road and then down the other side of the road to the Hotel. Ratchadamri road can be a car park at times. But notice in the top left corner. Cars on both sides are doing...

Most of the stuff here would not be found in the European markets.

So breakfast again and this time a mushroom and cheese omelette which was very good. After breakfast I went for a walk around the local malls and ending up at a Christmas Market outside Central world. And just like Europe there was no snow here. But come back in the evening and you could get...

Frankly they should have brought Konstantin I. Let McSweeney play down the order and drop Marsh. Of course having said that Marsh will now get a century in Melbourne.

A warm welcome @Balad2005 . Hope you have a great trip.
