Early start sees me over at Universe Gym for a workout. I like this gym and if your in Pattaya and need a workout then this is the gym for you. Next stop is at Tukcom for a phone charger, not been in here for 3 years so was good to go in for a look around. You could say this is Pattaya's mini MBK even?

Vlog # 217 Date 13.7.19
Today I take a walk along the Charoen Krung Road and show you the many shops, stalls and everything else that can be found.
When you come to Thailand its good to just go out and explore areas like this on foot.
You never know what you will find, and you will be surprised.

Lots to see here with many trade stands, plenty of cars and some motorbikes, Oh and of course some pretty ladies! I think this show will get better each year so next time you are in Bangkok make sure you come along.

Red Building Vintage Chatuchak Bangkok Thailand
Vlog # 258 5.8.24
A good friend told me about this place so I visited it.
It is easy to get to via the BTS Skytrain or MRT.
Plenty to see and buy if you have the budget. All sorts of goods are on offer here. All within a nice cool air-conditioned building.

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.

The Back Story Vlog of Thailand Travels 2022
aka Not enough footage
A short vlog this time to explain events and the lack of footage from 2022.
Equipment failure and then a lack of motivation to vlog are the main reasons.
Also, the two airlines that turned out to be very disappointing.

Vlog # 34 Bangkok Cab Ride
Another day in Bangkok & another day that sees me in another cab.
Today I was headed over from Nana to the Royal Thai Airforce Museum.
I have a interest in aircraft and especially warbirds. So on my 2015 Thailand trip this museum visit was a must.
Trip started out well and traffic was light.But as we got near the museum area the cab driver made a u-turn ?
Nothing wrong there you might think. Well there was something wrong as he was making a wrong turn.
How did I know? Well I had my mobile phone on my lap with Google maps running. This meant I could see where we was so knew right away he was wrong.
I pointed this out to him and after he tried putting up a bit of a well used argumant about knowing all the sort cuts etc I got him to turn back around and head in the right direction.
Now if we wasnt that far away or i could see via Google maps his "short cut" was right i would not have said anything. but this bloke was wrong and of course i was paying the fair!
So this is also a Tip Vlog, if you can use your mobile phone and have Google maps or an app that gives you maps via gps for example use it.
For this trip i had a DTAC sim with data which proved to be a very prudent move indeed.
