Bangkok Trip 2022 (01)

11-05-2022

This is still the best transport from the airport, fast n cheapest. A1/A2 direct highway to Mochit station at around 15mins (30baht), to Victory Monument, only 35mins during peak hours.

Another new find this round, is to download BOLT app, this is similar to GRAB but their price is much cheaper than Grab, and has more cars/bikes. about 30-50% lower, probably a new company trying to get more market share.

Found a new massage place at Petchburi Road Soi 15 (near Pratunam), MK massage.

They can arrange their masseur to the nearby hotel rooms at different rates too.
Previously we always went to Siam Thai but it was closed due to covid. This is my new favorite which is just nearby.

 Check-in VIX Bangkok Hotel ($32/night)

Value for money, clean n pretty new.

Took train to Ari

An upcoming higher end area, there are quite some nice restaurants, including Michelin award ones.

Not bad, although the better one are in Chiang Mai...

Saw this street food and looks popular.

The seating area is 10-15metres away

Not sure what this call but it does taste not bad, sweet, spicy

n sour flavor.

Ari Shopping Mall

Very small mall, take a break for their Kakigori

2 Tone Kakigori (185thb)
Mini size, just half my palm size.

Not nice at all

Jodd Fair

After all the walking, last stop is standard MASSAGE.

Not sure which outlet I tried in Soi 15, but i know is not good, that's why I change to MK the next day and stay with MK daily since then during this trip.

Found a kway chap store just at the back of my hotel. Still open at 1am.

60baht
