New bar in Soi 11 Nana.

Opening night Friday February 10 2017.

The drummers & the Golden Girls.

Luckily I was on the VIP list at “8 on Eleven” & enjoyed a couple of hours drinking Moscow Mules, a classy place that should succeed.

Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor Bangkok

February 16, 2017 by David Herd

Happy hour happy street

Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor

Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor Bangkok was a street I had known about for such a long time but had never ventured there until now. It seemed every Bangkok restaurant review would recommend an establishment in this area & now I can understand why.

El Guacho

I am a great fan of the Wine Connection chain of restaurants & Google told me there was one at 208 Thong Lo 8 Alley so my brother & I caught the Sky train to Thonglo station & walked for 20 minutes or so looking for the restaurant. What we in fact found at the address was El Gaucho, so I’m assuming either Google got it wrong or the information was simply out of date. 🙂

Here is what Googled showed.

Wine Connection has morphed into El Gaucho.

So many restaurants & such little time.

I have decided on my next visit to Bangkok I will tear myself away from my beloved Soi 11 & stay in Thonglor.

Grand Centrepoint Hotel in Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor Bangkok

Right in the heart of Thonglor, just book through THIS LINK for an excellent discount. Sukhumvit 55 or Soi Thong Lo, is well known for its classy bars, boutique shops, fashionable clubs plus lots of hip restaurants. It’s also acknowledged as the Siam Square of Bangkok’s East side.

Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor, absolute luxury

These beautiful rooms are 40 M2.

Lots of Japanese restaurants

I was amazed by the number of Japanese restaurants in Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor Bangkok, they were everywhere.

Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor Bangkok, The Dock

I am looking forward to having dinner at The Dock, they specialise in seafood & the menu looks excellent. Being an Aussie I love Sydney Rock Oysters as well as those big juicy ones from Tasmania. Kumamoto featured, I was there last October, & Brittany on the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean, has over 2800 km of coastline, it provides nearly 60,000 tons of oysters each year, almost 50% of the total French oyster production.

This Soi 55 building caught my eye.

Prior to moving to Thailand from Australia in 2011 I lived on the Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise. On the beach there is a building called Focus which is the twin of this Soi 55 round building. 🙂

Focus in Surfers Paradise

Compare the twins. 🙂

Follow THIS LINK for more Gold Coast skyscrapers.

The fabulous Commons at Thonglor

There is a lot to like about Bangkok’s Artisan Cafe Restaurant precinct.

Liquor outlet at The Commons

They have covered most of the bases here. 🙂

Sukhumvit Soi 55 Thonglor Location

The Commons is the jewel in the crown in this upmarket area of Bangkok.

Rooftop Bar Sofitel Bangkok

Bangkok-SDofitel-Sky Bar-restaurants-Sukhumvit-Nana-

Rooftop Bar Sofitel Bangkok

Rooftop Restaurant Bar Sofitel Bangkok on Sukhumvit Road between Nana & Asoke stations is on the 32nd floor of the hotel. L’Appart restaurant at the recently opened Sofitel is a delightful multi-faceted venue occupying the entire 32nd top floor of the hotel tower.

Great Asoke View

On the left is the Westin Hotel which is next door to Terminal 21, & on the right is the Sheraton.

For a great room rate at The Sheraton just use THIS LINK to book.

The pool at The Westin Hotel.

The hotel is only 50 metres from Asoke Station. For a great room rate at The Westin use THIS LINK to book now & pay later.

Waiting for the lights to come on.

Tonight there was quite a bit of haze over the city which effected the sunset & the view.

Terminal 21 on the left

A great view in every direction.

Thirty minutes later.

The Bangkok haze is still around I’m afraid.

Pachara Suites Soi 6 Nana

Looking down on Soi 6 which is a very good location, close to Nana Plaza & Nana station. Use THIS LINK for an excellent room rate at Pachara Suites.

Nana Station

Of course Soi 4 Nana is one of Bangkok’s most popular area for tourists.

Rooftop Restaurant Bar Sofitel Bangkok

An excellent rooftop bar.

Bangkok looks great at night

Of course Murray Head is famous for the great song about “One Night in Bangkok. “

One Night in Bangkok (CHESS) Murray Head

Watch this video on YouTube

Lets check out the bar

The entire 32nd floor is occupied by the L’Appart restaurant & the Sky Bar.

Relax on the lounge with a cocktail or two.

The whole place is beautifully designed.

L’Appart kitchen.

It certainly is a great looking kitchen. 🙂

Sit outside & watch the city lights.

There are probably between 25 & 30 Bangkok Sky Bars & this is one of the best. L’Appart opens daily from 5:00 pm at the Champagne Bar, and dinner is served from 7:00 pm.

Sukhumvit Road

A birds eye view.

Char Rooftop Bar Bangkok

January 29, 2017 by David Herd

Char Rooftop Bar Bangkok

Char Rooftop Bar Bangkok at Hotel Indigo at 81 Wireless Road is yet another addition to the growing number of rooftop bars in Bangkok. Open at 6 pm in time for the sunset.

Impressive view of the city

Bangkok at night is rather stunning, when the lights come on it’s like a fairy land.

Wireless Road

Just a seven minute walk down Wireless Road from Ploenchit station.

Location

Close to Sukhumvit Road & Ploenchit station & Central Embassy shopping Mall.

Looking towards Nana.

From the 26th floor Char Rooftop Bar .

The bar offers unlimited choices of alcohol.

As you would expect anything your heart desires is here at Char Rooftop Bar Hotel Indigo Bangkok.

Whisky & Bourbon

Buy by the glass or by the bottle. At B850 a glass I may give the Johnny Walker Blue a miss. 🙂

Back to the magnificent skyline

I hope I have convinced you at Char Rooftop Bar Bangkok is worth a visit.

How are the beer prices?

Well I’m glad you asked. B160 for an Asahi or Heineken & B150 foe a Singha is quite reasonable for a rooftop bar of this quality.

Char Rooftop Bar Bangkok

You are breaking my heart, either pay the B280 for a Margarita or find a new girlfriend who drinks beer. 🙂

Char Rooftop Bar Bangkok

Grab a front stalls seat and order some cocktails & snacks, then just sit back and enjoy the stunning view of the Big Mango at night.

Talking about snacks…

There are some interesting choices on the menu at fairly reasonable prices.

Antique radios

This interesting display is right next to the elevator at Char Rooftop Bar Hotel Indigo Bangkok.

You gotta love the wall art.

Thanks for visiting my Char Rooftop Bar photo blog.

Exciting Asoke Sukhumvit Line Bangkok

January 22, 2017 by David Herd

Asoke-Sukhumvit-Bangkok-Terminal 21-Soi Cowboy

Terminal 21 & Centrepoint Hotel

Exciting Asoke Sukhumvit Line Bangkok

Exciting Asoke Sukhumvit Line Bangkok is only one station or 10 minutes from where I stay in Soi 11 Nana. Asoke station is adjacent to Terminal 21 one of the many Bangkok shopping malls.

Rajadapisek Road

From the corner of Sukhumvit Rd, on the left is Terminal 21 & on the right is the Pullman Hotel. The first street on the right is the famous Soi Cowboy.

Asoke Montri Road

Rajadapisek Road This is the other side of the intersection coming from Rajadapisek Road. The tall building in the centre on the 25th floor is where you can find one of Bangkok’s great sky bars, the Long Table.

Long Table Sky Bar Asoke

A great spot to watch the sunset. Photo credit AsiaWebDirect.

Location

The Asoke station has a direct walkway into Terminal 21.

Pullman Bangkok Grande Sukhumvit

The five star Pullman is in a great location, for a discounted room rate just book through THIS LINK.

The Westin Grande Sukhumvit Hotel

Next door to Terminal 21 on Sukhumvit Road, book through THIS LINK for a great room rate.

Terminal 21 Asoke

A terrific location for shopping and eating.

Tony Roma’s

Just step off the sky train & walk straight into the mall. Tony Roma’s ribs are famous world wide.

Asoke comes alive at night

Lots of action here at night plus traffic gridlock on Sukhumvit Rd around the busy intersection.

Every night on Sukhumvit Rd

Forget taxis take the sky train. 🙂

Soi Cowboy

Soi Cowboy is only a very short street with about 40 go-go bars, competing with Nana Plaza and Patpong Rd.

Nana Plaza, Patpong Rd and Soi Cowboy are popular “so called” entertainment areas.

Hemingway’s at Exciting Asoke Sukhumvit Line Bangkok

Another beloved expat bar and restaurant, Hemingway’s, shut its doors at the end of October 2016. The land was purchased by Japanese developers who plan to build a 27-story hotel on the site that sits directly at BTS Asoke at the top of Sukhumvit Soi 14.

Such a shame to see it go.

Unlike in the US, the UK and Australia, there are no laws in Thailand to protect historic buildings. If there were, this rare and gorgeous specimen would have been protected. Sadly the owners spent one million USD (THB35 million) renovating the house and opening the restaurant just four years ago.

Brewski at Radisson Blu Plaza

Brewski sky bar on Sukhumvit Road near Soi 25 claim to be the only rooftop craft beer bar in Bangkok. I’m not into craft beers however an Asahi bottle was reasonably priced at B160, or $4.50 USD.

You won’t see many white elephants in Asoke

Here is two of them. 🙂

Brewski Sky Bar Radisson

30 minutes before sunset

Brewski Sky Bar Radisson Bangkok on Sukhumvit Road near Soi 25 claim to be the only rooftop craft beer bar in Bangkok. I’m not into craft beers however an Asahi bottle was reasonably prices at B160, or $4.50 USD.

Brewski Sky Bar Radisson Blu Bangkok

To state the obvious when visiting Bangkok Sky Bars it’s always best to arrive before sunset to get the benefit of seeing the city in day light, dusk & night.

Brewski Sky Bar Radisson Bangkok

The crowd was building up, mainly Thai locals.

Abandoned building

I’m guessing this abandoned has bees sitting here for at least 10 to 15 years.

Two Pattaya reprobates

Joergen Ulitzka & Pothole aka John Martin were very impressed with the view.

Cielo Sky Bar is another spectacular venue to add to the many “must do” places to visit in this city. Located between Sukhumvit 69 & 71 only five minutes walk from Phra Khanong BTS station.

City lights are coming on

A beautiful sight watching the city lights come on.

My favourite time of the day

There must be at least 25 sky bars in Bangkok, more than any other city I have been to.

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

Wonderful sunset from Brewski

I must confess I’m a sucker for a sunset, check out THIS LINK for some great Pattaya sunsets.

Terminal 21 & Asoke station

Terminal 21 & Asoke sky train station is only a five minute walk to Brewski Sky Bar Radisson Blu Bangkok. Book through THIS LINK for an excellent room rate.

Bangkok Koh Samui Wine Bistro

December 16, 2016 by David Herd

Wine Connection Silom

Bangkok Koh Samui Wine Bistro

Bangkok Koh Samui Wine Bistro chain of restaurants has quickly become one of my favourite places to eat in Thailand. Excellent food and a great selection of wine at reasonable prices.

Beside Sala Daeng Sky Train station

Located in the basement of the Silom Complex right below Starbucks.

Spanish Style Gambas

My favourite dish at Wine Connection only B210.

Very reasonable prices

Not just the food, the wine prices are also very affordable.

THE GRILL @ CentralWorld

Located on the ground floor at CentralWorld, Wine Connection claim The Grill is their most upmarket outlet.

Pasta & Salmon

Absolutely delicious Serrano Ham & Truffle Oil Fettuccine only B230 or $6.50 USD.

Lots of fresh pasta

By now you probably understand why Wine Connection is such a favourite of mine. 🙂

South African Red wine

On special at B499 a bottle or $14 USD.

Wine Connection @ Rainhill

This is my favourite location, just a short walk from Phrom Phong BTS station.

Large cheese selection

A selection of cheese and a nice bottle of red, what more could you want?

Wine cellar

Wines from all over the world at very reasonable prices.

Great value food & wine

Every Wednesday from 7 pm to 9 pm there is free flow wine & beer for B499.

Location

Take the Sky Train or a taxi along Sukhumvit.

Wine Connection at Central Festival Samui

We only spent 4 nights in Koh Samui and chose to eat here twice.

Low cost wine

They offer a wonderful selection of wine from all over the world at liquor store prices. Our red wine from Chile was a bargain B650.

The chain I’m told is owned by a French group, I only wish they would open a branch in Pattaya. Hallelujah on November 28 2018 they opened at Royal Gardens in Beach Rd Pattaya. See for yourself on THIS LINK.

Lamb shank at the Wine Connection.

The food choices are extensive, lots of terrines a a big range of pasta.

Cielo Sky Bar Bangkok

December 15, 2016 by David Herd

Cielo-Sky Bar-Sukhumvit-Bangkok-Thailand-city-view-restaurant

46^th level Sky Walk Condominium

Cielo Sky Bar Bangkok is another spectacular venue to add to the many other “must do” places to visit in this great city. Located between Sukhumvit 69 & 71 only
five minutes walk from Phra Khanong BTS station.

Cielo Sky Bar Bangkok

As usual with Bangkok Sky Bars it’s always best to arrive before sunset to get the benefit of seeing the city in day light, dusk & night.

Who is this guy?

He greets you as you arrive at Sky Walk condominium, he could almost be saying “take me to your leader”. 🙂

Here we are at the bar

If you fancy a cocktail Pina Colada, Mojito or Mai Tais are around 200-250 Baht.

OK, back to the wonderful view

The late afternoon traffic is starting to build up.

Open from 6 pm to 1.30 am.

Compared to many of the other Bangkok Sky bars drink and food prices are quiet reasonable starting at B120 for a Singha beer.

The city lights are coming on

In my opinion enjoying a cold beer or a Margarita & watching the city lights come on in Bangkok is the perfect way to spend an evening.

Pra Khanong district

Pra Khanong district is a middle class residential area rather than a commercial district.

Only 12 minutes by Sky Train from Nana.

I usually stay in Soi 11 Nana and it only takes 12 minutes by Sky Train to get to Pra Khanong station. Then take exit 3 and walk 5 minutes along Sukhumvit to the Sky Walk Condo.

As you can see the restaurant is stunning

A small beautifully designed intimate room with chandeliers to add to the opulence.

Well worth a visit

On this occasion I dined elsewhere however I certainly will return to Cielo try out the intimate restaurant.

Casa Teo

This restaurant looks very interesting indeed, it’s located at the front of the Sky Walk condo. Check them out on Facebook.

Lovely colourful fountain.

Also located in the forecourt of the Sky Walk condo, thanks for visiting my Cielo Sky Bar Bangkok photo blog.

When I’m in Bangkok I like to stay in Sukhumvit Soi 11, here is an excellent budget hotel, if you USE THIS LINK you will get a great rate of around B1100 per night, or $30 USD.

Amazing Bangkok buses

July 14, 2016 by David Herd

Amazing Bangkok buses

Amazing Bangkok buses transporting tourists all over Thailand, many are decorated in bizarre colours often featuring Japanese cartoon & Disney characters. Eagles, serpents you name it they have got it. I have never seen anything like it anywhere in the world, take a bow Thailand for giving us so many great photo opportunities.

Bright & exciting colours

I have no idea how they produce these amazing creations, I’m guessing it’s all created on computer then automatically painted on the production line, then again how would I know? 🙂

There was a comment on Facebook that explained to process, it is a vinyl wrap, using the same machines that produce outdoor posters, then they just wrap them round the bus.

For a discounted hotel rate in Bangkok just book through THIS LINK

I see Johnny Walker at the front

I’m also guessing they didn’t get permission to use the Johnny Walker logo. 🙂

Back view

Six exhausts and speakers for sound.

This beast is one of my favourites

It was parked a few meters from where I live in Soi 1 Pattaya so I was able to have a close look.

Eight lethal exhaust pipes

Imagine if a motorbike crashed into the back of this bus, the exhaust pipes were on a 45 degree angle with sharp edges pointing upwards. Perfectly positioned to impale a human being. You gotta love Thailand.

Beach Road Pattaya

Every morning hundreds of buses converge on Beach Road Pattaya bringing thousands Chinese tourists who board the boats to go para-sailing and visit Koh Larn island.

For a discounted hotel rate in Bangkok just book through THIS LINK.

This yellow one will get noticed.

There are so many amazing styles, this one looks like a huge yellow monster. 🙂

The Eagle has landed.

And the beat goes on, it must be a prestige thing the way some of these guys push it to the limit.

You light up my life

Or so the song goes, I really want to ask a question, do you think this guy is trying just a little too hard?

36000 buses idle

Tour bus operators are in dire need of measures to cushion the impact of the coronavirus crisis, as an idle fleet of 36,000 buses countrywide has already missed out on 7 billion baht in income during the sluggish tourism period.

President of the Thai Transportation Operators Association, said that while tourism was at its peak, each bus could generate 50,000 baht a day from tour services.

The current lack of income has led operators to carry a cost burden of roughly 2 million baht from each bus leased, and they don’t have enough cash for installment payments.

Many thanks for visiting my Amazing Bangkok buses photo blog.

Siam Paragon Shopping Mall

May 23, 2016 by David Herd

A super shopping mall

Siam Paragon Shopping Mall

Siam Paragon Shopping Mall Bangkok opened about 15 years ago in 2006, I remember how impressed I was with this amazing new shopping mall with it’s wide aisles and fabulous food court and supermarket.

Now of course there are many new super malls in Bangkok to compete with including Central Embassy and EmQuartier.

Shops on the 1st floor

Here is a guide to some of the shops.

Siam Paragon, Hanging fences

Another photo taken way back in 2006 of the Siam Paragon, Hanging fences, I’m not sure if they are still there or not.

The Main floor

Strangely the level that is linked to the skywalk is called the Main Floor, despite it being one above the ground, and the floors above that are then the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, up to the 5th, which is taken up by the Cineplex and its 15 large size theatres. There is direct access to the centre from Siam BTS Skytrain station.

Siam Paragon is opposite MBK

Only 5 minutes walk on an elevated path from the well know MBK centre.

Busy Bangkok corner

Watch this video on YouTube

BTS Skytrain

As I mentioned for Siam Paragon get of at Siam station, MBK is actually one stop further at National Stadium station.

Get a great discount at all the Hotels near Siam Paragon & MBK, just book through THIS LINK.

Met up with an old friend

Could this be my 15 minutes of fame? 🙂

Food food & more food.

One thing is for certain the Thai people love their food and there are plenty of options at Siam Paragon to keep them happy.

When I’m in Bangkok I like to stay in Sukhumvit Soi 11, here is an excellent budget hotel, if you USE THIS LINK you will get a great rate of around B1100 per night, or $30 USD.
