Beautiful St Moritz Switzerland

Beautiful St Moritz Switzerland

Beautiful St Moritz Switzerland was the first stop on my road trip from Pejo in the Italian alps Salzburg. This was certainly my best ever European trip which started in Lake Como then on to the French Riviera, a few days in the Cinque Terre  before heading for Milan,  Verona and Lake Garda.

I spent 10 days in a beautiful little French village north of Menton called Breil Sur Roya is known for trout fishing.

Sydney Gold Coast 2013

May 12, 2016 by David Herd

January 1st 2013, please note, Sydney Gold Coast 2013 is not part of my Travel Blog. It’s my personal history, check it out if you wish.

Sydney Gold Coast 2013

Sydney Gold Coast 2013

Sydney Gold Coast 2013 was a trip I did starting from 72 Wrights Road Drummoyne on January 1st after spending a couple of weeks at my cousin’s home in Balgowlah. I spent News Years Eve with Peter Hobbs & friends, left early the next day to meet friends for coffee at Dee Why before calling in to see Sue at Newport. From there I drove to my brothers home in Port Macquarie and finally onto the Gold Coast before flying back home to Thailand.

Over a period of 3 or 4 years I was lucky enough to stay at Deb’s lovely home for which I’m forever grateful. Sadly in the end she kicked me out because I left the house unlocked for an hour when I went for coffee. Us aging geriatrics do become forgetful. 🙂

Wrights Road in these apartments was my home for 6 years from 1979, some of the best years of my life. In fact check out my 1982 photo blog and see for yourself.

I played tennis here many times in the 80s.

Sue Ellis was and still is a terrific tennis player, we played many times and to my dismay I never won a single set. Sue just turned 60 this year and is ranked number 7 in the over 60 Tennis Seniors Australia Rankings in Womens Singles.

After many years I was happy to visit Sue, the home is still as picture perfect as when Big Tim used fuss around keeping everything neat & tidy.

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

March 4, 2016 by David Herd

This is not a travel blog just my personal photo collection

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia 

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

 Sydney 2011 farewell Australia is about my life changing event when on October 18 I left my home, friends, relatives and country to live in Thailand. I had two trips to Sydney in September & October and stayed with my cousin Debbie at her home in Balgowlah before jumping on a plane to Bangkok on October 18.

Dinner at Manly

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

I had many friends to farewell including Paul Slaughter and his lady Clode who was a flight attendant for Air Canada.

Richard aka 003 1/4

Richard & I have been friends since 1976 and had many great times together over the years. Obsessed with luxury cars and women on a scale far higher than I.

Richard’s latest jigger

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

From memory he also had a beautiful restored red E-Type jag at his Gold Coast home and a 911 turbo Porsche at his Sydney apartment. The Porsche he has owned since new in about 1977, it was fitted with some unusual modifications similar to some sort of secret agent. 🙂

Dinner with friends

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

Fortuna Court Chinese restaurant in Crows Nest has been a favourite restaurant for over 30 years, & I must say it has not changed one bit in that time. The guy I’m about to put to the sword is Warwick Robinson who I have known for over 30 years. He never did pay the ransom to me for not taking his life. 🙂

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

Leaving Australia was a huge decision, two major factors came into play when making the decision. First was purely financial, I had not worked since 1997 instead I travelled the world like a man possessed. Consequently I spent a huge amount of money in the process and I always knew it had to come to an end. My only regret was the timing of the Global Financial Crisis in 2007/8 which coincided with me needing to sell my home to pay off the huge mortgage created by my travels. My home took me 3 years to sell, had I have sold in 2006 I would have realized around $250K more than I finally got in 2011. Oh well them’s the breaks and I have no regrets because those years of travel were wonderful and irreplaceable.

The second reason for my decision to move to Thailand was triggered by the first. I found myself in a position where I could no longer live at the same level in Australia that I was accustomed to. However I could live to that level in Thailand which was only around 1/3 the cost of living in Australia.

It is now 2017 my 6th year living in Thailand and the move has turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. I plan to stay another 5 years before moving back to Australia to live out my final days. At the moment that’s the plan but plans can change. 🙂

Here is my view in Pattaya

Sydney 2011 farewell Australia

 

There are many people around the world who regularly criticize Pattaya, my message to them is simple, stay where you are because we don’t want you here.  Our stress free Pattaya life has no time to waste on the knockers and whiners, having said that thanks for visiting my Sydney 2011 farewell Australia photo blog.

           I’ll leave it to the late great Glenn Frey to explain how I feel right now.

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok

January 27, 2016 by David Herd

On everybody’s bucket list

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok

Patpong Road red light

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok is known as the cities original red light district. These days it is more popular as a night market, however many pole dancing & beer bars are still there. These days Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are more popular so called entertainment areas.

Shop to you drop at Patpong Road Bangkok

Patpong Road red light

I notice many of the items here are so much cheaper if you shop at Chinatown.

Patpong Road Bangkok

Patpong Road red light

It was a Tuesday night and very quiet, perhaps it was a little early for the crowds at Patpong Road Bangkok.

Nice corner bar

Patpong Road red light

Most of the bars are in the next street which runs parallel to this one.

Larry finds some company

Sadly I felt I had to point out his companion was actually a LadyBoy.

 Say no more

I’m guessing this is not a pet shop where you can buy a kitten, but then again what would I know?

No photos please.

I think she may be a little shy. 🙂

Happy hours and happy endings are always available in Patpong Road.

Travelling from Europe to Australia in 1993 naturally I had to stopover in Bangkok for some R & R.


The Inn Saladaeng

A very nice little hotel a short walk to Patpong. You will get a very good rate if you book through this link.

The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to Cloud 47 one of Bangkok’s fabulous Sky Bars.

Bangkok burger company

Patpong Road red light

Right next door to the hotel is this very good burger restaurant, good food and cold beer, but for some reason they don’t serve wine.

Wine Connection is the better option

Patpong Road red light

A short train ride to Patpong and to will find the Wine Connection, an excellent restaurant.

Choose your wine

Patpong Road red light

A very busy restaurant with a great selection of food and wine.

Street food stalls

Fresh vegetables Bangkok style.

Bangkok breakfast

Patpong Road red light

There is no doubt Thai people have taken street food to an art form.

Sala Daeng skytrain station is about 200 meters from the main Patpong area. If you are travelling from Nana or Asoke on Sukhumvit you need to change trains at Siam station.

Fabulous street food

Patpong Road red light district Bangkok

You can eat well here for around B50.

Hooters Pattaya opening night

Hooters Pattaya opening night

Hooters Pattaya opening night was on New Years Eve 2015 so we decided to make it our first stop when seeing off the old and welcoming the new year.

From another perspective

Hooters Pattaya opening night

Girls were busy at Hooters Pattaya opening night

Main bar downstairs

The décor is excellent, my only complaint is the food is rather expensive. I’m guessing management will soon discover this and make adjustments.

Birthday Party Pattaya style

December 30, 2015 by David Herd

Geoff Robinson turns 50

Birthday Party Pattaya style

Birthday Party Pattaya style

 

Birthday Party Pattaya style for Geoff Robinson at Heaven Gentleman’s club, in this case we use the term loosely. Geoff and his crazy friends are an international “mongrel mob” from all around the world, these guys are hell bent on drinking the town dry.

This great photo shows what a happy bunch of people they are. There are 4 guys from Australia, 1 from New Zealand, 4 from the UK, 1 from the USA, 1 from Germany, 2 from Norway and 1 from Finland. Not to be mistaken for a pot-pourri of poofters, more like a Soi 6 symposium.

Happy birthday Khun Geoff

Birthday Party Pattaya style

The girls welcome Geoff and his friends to Heaven Gentleman’s club on Soi Kasetsin 11 on Pratumnak Hill.

Birthday Party Pattaya style

Birthday Party Pattaya style

It’s only fair to point out Geoff’s rise from humble beginnings. He was a rather shy disturbed lonely child who blossomed later in life when he discovered girls and beer. He turned into a good footballer playing lock forward for Oakdale, an outer western suburb in Sydney. At the 2006 census, Oakdale had a population of 1,006 people so assuming 1/2 were children & 15% of the remainder were men aged around 20, simply proves there was very little competition for a spot in the side. 🙂

Recent headlines in the local paper proves the club never recovered after the loss many years ago of their star lock forward. Many people thought of Geoff  as the “Forest Gump” of Oakdale footy.

 “Oakdale Rugby League Football Club is facing disaster before a ball is kicked in the 2014 Group 6 competition.”

Being a fair unbiased reporter I asked Geoff for his version of life at the Oakdale footy club.

“We were part of Group 6 competition. All the ex NRL players who were cut headed into the group. It was an extremely tough competition. I’ve endured a smashed cheekbone, broken jaw, so many concussions I can’t count them. If you couldn’t handle yourself on the park you couldn’t make it. I was best and fairest 1985. Best forward 1987 & 1990.”

Lets get this show on the road

Birthday Party Pattaya style

Even though among he is known among his friends as the smiling assassin or the Sultan of Soi 6, deep down he is just a hansum chick magnet.

Without further ado lets see a short video of the birthday bash

Sexy Thai girls dance at Pattaya Gentleman's club

I think you may now have a general idea of the direction this party is heading.

See the tattooed guys

Birthday Party Pattaya style

Guys, what guys? I don’t see any guys. 🙂

This sexy man is Khun Geoff

Birthday Party Pattaya style

He Mak Mak, we love him long time.

Sorry girls I’m engaged

Birthday Party Pattaya style

Nana Asaya seems to have the wild man under control, and I can’t deny it, they are a very attractive couple.

Here are some of the sexy dancing girls at Heaven Gentleman’s Club.

Living quietly in Gosford

Birthday Party Pattaya style

 

When not in Thailand partying in Soi 6 Geoff lives a quiet life in Gosford on the central NSW coast.  As you can clearly see from the above photo he lives as any other 50 yo Aussie who has three sons and one grandson. Happy birthday granddad. 🙂 Doesn’t everybody have beer on tap in his lounge room these days?

According to my local “deep throat” who we shall refer to as “the Big V”  Geoff apparently suffered from many beatings from the local thugs before deciding enough was enough. He took up Karate determined not to let anybody kick sand in his face ever again. 🙂

He now holds a black belt in Karate and occasionally gives himself an uppercut when he goes off the rails in Soi 6.

Stop splashing or I’ll kick the shit out of you.

Birthday Party Pattaya style

The birthday boy issues a silent warning.

Here is where Geoff is at

The very top of the tree.

The monster mash

Birthday Party Pattaya style

I don’t expect anybody to know what the Monster mash is. However looking at this fabulous photo I had a flashback to 1962. Take a look at this video and tell me if you see any resemblance to the guys in the photo, just saying……..

MONSTER MASH ~ Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers (1962)

Am I right, or am I right? 🙂

Is is getting dark or is it my eyes?

Birthday Party Pattaya style

No, I’m sure it’s getting darker.

Macbeth

Birthday Party Pattaya style

 Ah yes, old man. You can see the skies. They look like they’re upset about what mankind has been doing, and they’re threatening the Earth with storms. The clock says it’s daytime, but dark night is strangling the sun. Is it because night is so strong, or because day is so weak, that darkness covers the earth when it’s supposed to be light? Macbeth.

Let there be light

Birthday Party Pattaya style

  “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Being a practicing atheist I’m not revealing who originally said this.


 The boys are back in town.

I love this shot

This one has got to be worth framing. 🙂

Compliments to the staff at Heaven Gentleman’s Club for providing some very good food to keep the “Mongrel Mob” on their feet.

Doug is there to supervise. Known  among his friends as the “Evil Duck” he is responsible for the huge profits made by San Miguel. I am told the Philippine government are considering adding him to their new years honour list. A Soi 6 tragic who works in Australia for a law firm with a name like Suckers & Bogans who have the following trademark.

You broke the law, we are here to add to your pain. 🙂

Later that night

Naturally the party moved to Soi 6 and the night eventually turned into a blur. For those of you who like to be close to the Soi 6 action here is a good hotel close by. This link will get you a great rate.

My birthday present for you.

Chao Phraya river ferry

December 25, 2015 by David Herd

Up a lazy river

Chao Phraya river ferry

Explore Bangkok Chao Phraya river ferry

Chao Phraya river ferry which takes you up the lazy river for only B150 for the whole day. It is a great way to see many of Bangkok’s wonderful landmarks. A ticket to Chinatown is only B40, get off at pier number 5 at Ratchawong and walk 10 minutes up the road.In the photo above you have The Peninsula Hotel on the left and the Shangri-La Hotel on the right.

B40 to get to Chinatown from the Sathorn pier is a bargain.

 Bankok’s famous Long-tail boat

Explore Bangkok Chao Phraya river ferry

 The long-tail boat, known as Ruea Hang Yao is a type of watercraft native to Southeast Asia, which uses a common automotive engine as a readily available and maintainable power-plant. A craft designed to carry passengers on a river may include a lightweight long canoe hull, up to 30 meters, and a canopy. There is much variation among these boats, some have evolved from traditional craft types, while others have a more improvised look. The sole defining characteristic is a second-hand car or truck engine.

Just left of the bridge

Explore Bangkok Chao Phraya river ferry

This is where our journey begins, the Chao Phraya river is an exciting waterway. Check out my photo blog here.

Another boat arrives

There is a lot of traffic on the river, here is another of my photos blogs featuring a long-tail boat canal cruise.

The boat is certainly not in the luxury class however it is cheap and efficient. Announcements are made to give you warning that your stop in next.

 The enclosed 360° rooftop lounge on the 32nd floor of the Millennium Hotel provides some of the best views over Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River. The atmosphere is relaxed and romantic. A great venue for cocktails with the accompaniment of some mellow jazz music in the background.

Baan Chaopraya Condo

  Completed in 1994 the condominium comprises of a single building with 31 floors and 478 units. A 66 square meter apartment on the 34th floor is currently for rent at B25,000 per month.

Don’t forget a ticket from Taksin bridge to Chinatown is only B40, get off at pier number 5 at Ratchawong and walk 10 minutes up the road.

Cold beer in Chinatown

Chao Phraya river ferry

The Bangkok river ferry got me to Chinatown along the mighty Chao Phraya river which is known as the River of Kings. It is the life blood of Bangkok, around 50,000 people use its ferries each day. Slow barges bearing cargo coast upstream, kids still frolic in the brown water. Wooden shacks, mottled by the elements, still hang over the water. Check out my photo blog here.

Soaring hotels and condominiums hem in solemn temples, churches and civic buildings that look 19th century European, while close by the odd wooden sampan sells noodle soup or dried squid to hungry river workers. It is this juxtaposition of calm and chaotic, modern and traditional, religious and secular, ugly and sublime, foreign and indigenous that makes the Chao Phraya so evocative. My thanks to Bangkok.com for their wonderful description of the River of Kings.

Not everybody is happy on the river

Chao Phraya river ferry 

A Vietnamese cargo ship ploughed into riverside houses along the Chao Phraya River in Phra Pradaeng district yesterday April 5t 2017, damaging three homes.

Residents fled to the streets in panic as the cargo ship loomed over them. Three houses were damaged, one badly, but nobody was injured.

Chinatown Bangkok shopping

December 25, 2015 by David Herd

Welcome to Chinatown Bangkok

Chinatown Bangkok shopping

Chinatown Bangkok shopping sightseeing is a hive of activity as you would expect, narrow lanes with thousands of people hunting for bargains.

Thien Fah Foundation

Chinatown Bangkok shopping

 The Tien Fa foundation was formed in 1902, making it the oldest charitable society in Bangkok. The foundation provides free medical care to the indigent. The buildings surrounding the shrine actually house the hospital facilities.

Lighting candles at The Tien Fa foundation

Chinatown Bangkok shopping

 The foundation is on Yaowarat Road just a short distance from the Chinatown gate in the circle.

  Very busy street Chinatown Bangkok

Chinatown Bangkok shopping

 The Chinese community in Bangkok pre-dates the founding of the Thai capital in the city. Indeed, the land where the grand palace is today was originally a community of Chinese traders. When King Rama I decided to establish the capital on the site of the village of Bangkok, he asked the traders to move. They settled to the east of the new city, along the river. It may be hard to believe today, but the narrow Sampaeng Lane, which isn’t even big enough for a car, was once the Chinatown Bangkok main street.

Typical side-walk shop

Chinatown Bangkok shopping

 The best way to see the area is to pick a starting point and wander around.

Roast Duck

Chinese food is my 2nd favourite cuisine after Japanese.

Shanghai Mansion

Overload

What could possibly go wrong?

Nice looking Tuk Tuk in Chinatown Bangkok

Chinatown Bangkok shopping

Very handy transport, however usually the drivers try to badger you into visiting a gem store etc so they can receive a kickback. Taxis are a far better option, cheaper and air conditioned.

Lots of toy shops in Chinatown

Chinatown Bangkok shopping sightseeing

Prices are notably cheaper here than other parts of the city, of course haggling is expected. 🙂

For example check out these prices.


Ratchawong

The easy way to reach Chinatown is a B40 ferry ride, get off at pier number 5 at Ratchawong and walk 10 minutes up this road.

The big attraction

Red Sky Bar Bangkok

December 24, 2015 by David Herd

Absolutely amazing

Red Sky Bar Bangkok

Red Sky Bar Bangkok

Red Sky Bar Central World Bangkok offers a breathtaking view of this wonderful city. Perched on the 56th floor at Centara Grand Hotel on top of Central World shopping Mall.

Bistro and bar

Red Sky Bar Bangkok

A huge wines selection at the bistro which occupies the entire 55th floor, both indoor and outdoor dining sections to choose from, and the solely outdoor bar deck of the 56th floor wraps around the circular core of the building providing an uninterrupted 360 degree panorama of the amazing Bangkok metropolis.

Happy hour is 5 to 7 pm

Red Sky Bar Bangkok

Buy one get one free is a good deal as the price as you would expect at such a venue is rather high. A Jack Daniels or a beer is B360 so getting 2 for 1 is a good deal.

After happy hour finishes

Well that’s another story, some friends turned up and Lisa from Townsville was drinking champagne which turned out to be B1,100 per glass, which equals $42 AUD or $30 USD. Now that’s not really a problem but her and her friend John left without paying, subsequently Greg, the little guy in the middle got stuck with a huge drink bill. 🙂

Enough of that, back to the amazing view.

The Baiyoke tower is 85 stories and is the tallest building in Bangkok, it includes the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the tallest hotel in Southeast Asia and the seventh-tallest all-hotel structure in the world.

Game changer

MahaNakhon is a luxury mixed-use skyscraper currently under construction in the Silom/Sathon central business area of Bangkok. Designed to fit into the Thai landscape with a unique pixelated facade, it will have the unconventional appearance of a glass curtain walled square tower with a cuboid-surfaced spiral cut into the side of the building. Upon its estimated completion in 2015, it will become the tallest building in Bangkok at 314 metres (1,030 ft), with 77 floors. Featuring hotel, retail and residences, 200 units of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok inside the building are priced between around US$1,100,000 to US$17,000,000, making it one of the most expensive condominiums in Bangkok.
