@taiwan_girl

I sent you a PM yesterday!

We’re here until Wednesday April 1st. I’d love to meet up.

[89th]

Man that would be epic.

[jon-nyc]

Alas it won’t happen. She’ll not be back in time.

[jon-nyc]

Damoen Saduok floating market.

[jon-nyc]

And that famous railway market you’ve seen videos of.

This is what it looks like up to about 1 minute before the train comes.

As the train approaches they move everything and make sure people are behind the red line.

The train about to pass me.

Great pics. Yes, sorry I will not be there. :(. In Europe right now.

Assuming the weather is good, fun to go to a rooftop bar at night. There are a lot of them all around. One I like is Octave on top of the Marriott on Soi 57

If you are going there, you can stop at my favorite local restaurant. Close to my place.
Singapore chicken rice restaurant Boon Tong
440, 5 Thong Lo, แขวง วัฒนา Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

My meal (and e-reader LOL) I get. Pork and chicken and a bottle of water. About USD$3-4. You can also get duck, but that often sells out early.

There you go, Jon. Insider info.

Similar meal in a Chinatown in the USA would cost about $15 these days.

That looks delicious.

I had never seen the railway. They must roll up all those awnings too? How often does the train come?

[jon-nyc]

4 times a day in and out so they go through the motions 8 times a day

Sunset over Bangkok

[Axtremus]

Very nice! If you add a TV in the picture, it would match your signature line perfectly.

[Mik]

Stunning. The sunset's nice too.

[jodi]

Beautiful photograph.

[taiwan_girl]

@jon-nyc NIce pic, expecially the person on the right!! Just kidding, you look good too! Which rooftop bar did you end up going to?

[jon-nyc]

That’s the one at the Park Hyatt but our own hotel (Mode Sathorne) has one too.

[blondie]

You 2 look so in love! Beautiful dress.
The food looks yummy.
What an exciting trip!

[jon-nyc]

We took a cooking class yesterday.

The dessert was too pretty to eat.

[jodi]

Very nice looking dessert. Is that rice that is colored purple?
