Bangkok,

Thailand

Bangkok is a city that never sleeps,every street has its own signature and

The Japanese in the Patpong area:

where massage centre is seen in every nooks n corners.Incidentally this place is famous for its nightlife and also next to nthe Silom night market.

The Middle eastern people in the Sukhimvit Road where you can shop along the 5foot ways,everything from household items to DVds.

The Asian Chinese are more attracted to the Pratunam centre which house wholesale clothing for the young at heart;trendy and fashionable.Ties and asseseries for the young office workers.

This Japanese restaurant pictured here serves very good noodles and gyoza hmmm...really yummy a change from the usual Tom Yum soup.Its located on the ground floor of the MBK shopping mall frequent mostly by the europeans visitors....

I had an apple pie and a cup of vieneese coffee just across the japanese restaurant.It was superb and the butter pastry of the apple pie was excellent. Just what i wanted a warm piece of pie and coffee after a light lunch..hmmmmm.

Thai Tom Yum in Bangkok?

If you are in a fancy for simple thai food. Along Praya thai area and next to the district hospital is a rather humble shop which we discovered by accident,the owner whipped up a real feast for 4 hungry people who were actually lost.

The TomYum served was neither too spicy or sweet though we went ooohhh and aahhh.....somehow we are hooked!!!

On the walls were pics of the owner receiving credits for his contribution as a chef in this field.

The price was reasonable and service was excellent :muak!!this little boy kept topping up our water glass like a 5star airline service onboard!!!

We had deep fried frogs too and squids.The stir fried vegetables were fresh and the fish was steamed.

If you are wondering why there is no picture take?

Is because there were 4 lost hungry tourist attacking the food before we could say"Snap a shot!"

For Malaysians eaters who frequent the "Tai chow eateries"this is better in quality and ambience....trust me!The place only opens at 4pm.

Around this area you can find nice motels going for usd20-30 for a bed n breakfast.

I prefer this area as its not crowded and they have nice n big shopping mall that is link by skytrain to MBK .

I will be going to bangkok again as its only an hr and a half by Thai Airways which has never fail to upkeep its inflight service on the KL-Bkk route and to this day still serving hot meals and endless flow of bevarages.

Btw,even though the Calypso Bkk has been the centre of attraction.The dancer are in every steps as graceful without a flaw

Much to my curiosity and full attention I discovered they were actually man!!!

I like to mention that the Siam Niramit is an up and coming cultural show.The beating of drums was a welcome that took my breathe away along with the lightning and rain.

Elephants walking in on the audience and the performers asking the audience to put candles on the man made river on stage.Something thrilling for a change.

Its really hot now in Bangkok since its march.

The best time???guess...

I would suggest from Sept to January is really cool and windy.
