Thai Street Food/ Street Snacks: Kanom Tokyo - ขนมโตเกียว is a little thin pancake filled in various ways. Out side of the Tesco Lotus, near the BTS station we found a couple selling Kanom Tokyo snacks.

Thailand has some really plush theaters. And the tickets are so much cheaper than western prices. Do know a couple of things before you go:
Nantsuttei Ramen was a highly reviewed ramen restaurant located in Siam Paragon mall. Now every mall has a food court, but in Bangkok the malls and food courts are labarynths that you may never find your way out of, but you’ll be okay because anything you could ever imagine needing or wanting is in that building. ;)
Anywho, after much meandering we found the Ramen restaurant. Scroll down to see what we noshed on:
When In Thailand…. Eat pad Thai, am I right? The quintessential Thai dish that everyone back home knows and loves no matter where home us. (Almost)
So we love that there is a little food zone so close to where we stayed at Ideo Mobi Onnut Sukhumvit 81. If you exit the building and walk to the right you’ll cross an alley which is busy with mototaxis- be careful!) and its where you walk up to the BTS station. Aloft Studio 03 On Nut Airbnb tour
Deciding where to stay in Bangkok can be a challenge because there are so many great options. You can stay in some really cheap hostels with bare bones amenities all the way up to luxury hotels and great serviced apartments. It all depends on your budget and needs. We decided to stay again in the On Nut neighborhood. It’s a great neighborhood with lots ofstreet food and easy BTS access. You’re also right by major shopping areas like Lotus and Big C.
A fun thing to do when you travel is check out the buildings and architecture. I'm no architect, I know nothing of the names or significances of the styles, but I do love to admire their uniqueness. And if you can learn some of those tidbits, all the better! When you travel, notice the architecture of the homes, offices, in markets, official buildings, places of worship, schools.. Just try to check it all out! See how different (or similar) it is to where you live. Note how modern or ancient, how plain or intricate, how lavish or simply sufficient it is. It's great fun!

Tailors are densely populated in the big cities of Bangkok and Chiang Mai leaving you with a lot of homework to do in advance to pick a good one or if you aren't picky, the convenience of them being everywhere. My husband had planned to get a suit in Chiang Mai and had researched topped reviewed tailors before our arrival. The top tailors were so busy that many times we were not even acknowledged when we entered and even when we stood around for 10 minutes or more. Totally understandable that they were swamped. With so many other options, we decided why not spread it around a little, right?! I'm glad we did. Our Choice & Perks of Bespoke Clothing |
