Two days Bangkok

Two days Bangkok
Two days Bangkok seemed like a week because of all the walking I did, over 20,000 steps in 48 hours. By the time I got home to Pattaya I was desperate for a foot & leg massage. 🙂 My hotel was in a graet location, only 50 meters to Chit Lom sky train.
Nice room
Great value at a low cost of B1100 pn, or $45 AUD.
An added bonus
A very nice view from my room. For a terrific room rate just book through THIS LINK.
Chit Lom station
Taken from the Golden House hotel, a terrific location. Only 5 minutes walk to Central Embassy shopping mall.
Looking in the oposite direction
One of the many fantastic Bangkok buildings.
But wait, there is more….
Always someting to look at in this great city.
A shot from Chit Lom BTS.
And always something to photograph. 🙂
My favourite bangkok restaurant
This is one of 3 El Mercado branches, for more photos please follow THIS LINK.
Oysters from France
Here is the main reason I love to dine at El Mercado. Beautiful Fine de Clare No 3 at B886 or $36 AUD, quite a good price for Bangkok, although I get them for $23 at L’Auberge in Pattaya. These were Fine de Clare No 3.
The Fines de Claires Oysters are exclusively produced in the Marennes-Oléron basin in France. They have an elongated shell which makes them easily recognizable.
The Fines de Claires Oysters are less fleshy than normal oysters and have a softer-coloured flesh. The Fines de Claires Oysters are rich in water and have a stronger, slightly sweeter taste thanks to the « affinage” made in ponds connected to seawater during the last weeks of the farming.
JW Marriott on Sukhumvit
For many years I have been enjoying breakfast here.
And here it is
Poached eggs, avocado & crispy bacon.
Late night snack
Only the lonely. 🙂
Golden House location
A great location in Bangkok.
Thanks for visiting my Two days Bangkok photo blog, there is no doubt this is one of the world’s great cities.
