I just got back into town and have just taken the rental scooter back. I was just in time to make the deadline and I just made it before it ran totally out of fuel. Join me now as I walk along Soi Diana, Second Road then onto Soi 13 for a late lunch. I call in at The Kings Table a place I have used before. Once again I have a nice meal with a treat. Then its down to Beach Road and I call in at Starbucks.

Rot Fai Train Night Market - ตลาดรถไฟ ศรีนครินทร์
Rot Fai Market (Train Market) in Bangkok is an authentic open-air bazaar selling an incredible array of vintage collectables and memorabilia from yesteryear, from antique furniture to hippy fashion and Mao kitsch.
It had been a long day (see vlogs 10 to 15) but that didn’t stop me from one more place to visit from my “to do list” . I like to make the most of my time when in Thailand so going off the saying “no rest for the wicked” it was off to Rot Fai market in the evening of 22.11.15
Was a little bit further from the Nana/Sukhumvit area than I thought and my directions where a little off when I got there via BTS and taxi. I found out I could have actually used Udom Suk BTS station instead of On Nut And after trying to work out how to get round the shopping centre of the main road I got to the market at last.
All started well and at the start there was little cafes, bars and stalls in the first section. The bars had some bands playing and there was a good vibe. Then as I started looking around I was a bit disappointed. It looked like any other normal market in Thailand with the usual stalls selling the same items. But as I wandered around after having a light meal at a street food stall I found the part of the market I had seen on the internet.
This was much more like it, vintage cars, motorbikes, lots of retro goods from the 50’s onwards.
Clothing, household items, electrical good, it’s all there. Well worth a visit and I would go again.
Lots of stalls and shops to choose from. The food hall as such is large with a big selection of foods for you to eat.
I came away very happy and pleased with my visit.
Note,
The directions I had said go to On Nut BTS and walk from there. When I got to On Nut I soon found out the directions where wrong. It’s better to go to Udom Suk BTS station and either walk or get a taxi from there as it is closer. Or just get a taxi the whole way.

Vlog # 224 5.8.19
The final part this week.
I take you up to the top floor and show you the household, electrical and clothing sections.
Much like Tesco back in England, there is a range of items available to suit your needs and budget.
Once again at the time of filming the baht was very high against the Pound sterling and the U.S dollar.

Vlog # 8
My first restaurant review. Only a little vlog but it gives a quick overview of this small but very good restaurant. Not many "Farangs" go here so if you want what I call more "proper" thai food and not westernized thai food goto a restaurant such as this. There is not much written in English but staff are friendly and helpful.
I saw this on one of Mark Weins vlogs and when in town I had to go along and try it for myself. The food was very good indeed and I would go again.
The first dish was the Khao Goong Rad Sauce Man Boo (ข้าวกุ้งราดซอสมันปู).
Second dish was Ba Mee Yok Neau Ob (บะหมี่หยกเนื้ออบ).
Third dish was kuay Kuay Teow Tom Yum Goong Nam Khon (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวต้มยำกุ้งน้ำข้น).
Restaurant address,
Address: 68/51 Soi Petchaburi 5, Between Soi 5 – 7, Phaya Thai, Ratchathewi, Bangkok
Phone: 02-6129013
Open hours: Monday – Sunday 10 – 10 pm
Nearest BTS station that I used is Ratchathewi.
I used goggle maps on my phone and that took me right to the soi. I then just walked down until I saw the restaurant on my right.

My first full day in Milan and I get the tram to Sforzesco Castle.
Its an impressive structure and very pleasurable to walk around.
I soon find however that the various museums located there are all 5 euros each and no filming allowed. I decide just to walk around. You can buy a 3 day pass if you are staying in town for a few days.
