This picture is from one of my visits to the Crocodile Farm and Zoo in Samut Prakan, near Bangkok. Always used to visit this place when the family came to Thailand, while I lived in Bangkok. The Zoo is rather “tired” and in need of maintenance. But it is still worth a visit. PS. The zoo known as the Crocodile Farm. Bon voyage Rgds, Sailor Continue reading Feed me!
This picture is from the first time I visited the “Crocodile Farm” at Samut Prakan, Thailand. The location is near the international airport in Bangkok. The ones who have been there will most likely tell about a relatively worn out Crocodile farm, but still very much entertaining for people who never saw thousands of crocodiles (and other animals), close up. And of course, you can … Continue reading Today’s picture.
Women can now opt for female drivers when they hail a ride from Bangkok’s predominant ride-hailing service. Grab users can now find female drivers as an additional option for trips anywhere in the metro area by selecting “GrabCar (Lady).” It costs the same as the “GrabCar” option, which summons private drivers and costs a little more than commercial taxis. While taxi drivers are held in … Continue reading Women can now book female Grab drivers in Bangkok.
Check Inn 99. The name will forever be connected with good memories for me. This was by far my favorite go to place, any day in the week. So I will use this opportunity to share a few pictures from good times. I bet there are a few familiar faces here. 😉 First, a few of my young brother, and myself. Good times. The band, … Continue reading Check Inn 99, Bangkok.
Today’s picture is taken in 1995 during my first visit to Thailand with my job. Having something to drink, and eat street food. First experience with this type of food. Expected a serious reaction. Well, it came but as an opposite one. Couldn’t “go” for 3-4 days. Enough of that 🙂 Rgds, Sailor Kai Ståle Ødegård Continue reading Just a picture…… First visit to Thailand.
All right then, we are here, after a long and sometimes a bit stressful trip. With most likely change of flights for most, time differences, all the walking and then waiting at the airports, and the taxi line. Not to forget the memorable first taxi ride through the traffic to the hotel, with a let me guess, a driver who “accidently” took the wrong turn on … Continue reading My first visit to Thailand, part II.
Thailand, oh yes, still an exotic destination for many, including myself. Anyone remember the first time you went to Thailand? I have been 45-50 times inn and out of Thailand, due to my work, but still remember clearly the first time. The first you notice after the loooooong flight, is when you leave the air conditioned air-plane, to walk into the jetway, which leads into the … Continue reading Remember your first time to Thailand?
The Queen Bee is one of those hidden places you will often just pass by on your way from A to B. Nothing flashy about this place so you do not notice it. Until you walk inside.I have a feeling many of the customers, just as myself, have visited this place because someone you know have invited you there.There is both an inside and outside … Continue reading Queen Bee, a hidden gem in Bangkok
This is a book I wanted to read for some time. The book was originally publish back in 1989 I believe, but is still very applicable today. To me, it doesn’t matter if a book is published years ago, I can still enjoy it. Just as with films and music. And boy, did I enjoy this book! What I instantly noticed, reading this good book … Continue reading Bangkok Knights, by Collin Piprell.
