#Bangkok A dystopian picture in the best traditions of cyberpunk. In the photo - Sathorn Unique Tower, a 49-story skyscraper, the construction of which began back in 1990. The Asian financial crisis of 1997 bankrupted the banks financing the project, and…

A hidden gem of Chinatown in #Bangkok - Qilin Tea House (https://maps.app.goo.gl/beo21Ra9XAWR3TxH7) It's not located on the most notable street, away from the shopping stalls, but it's hard to miss - the monumental entrance to the house is guarded by statues…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok The funniest thing is that even popular brands make their way to such places. For example, I just happened to stumble upon a Louis Vuitton pop-up while walking down the street 😄 This is the power of tourism!
#Bangkok
#Bangkok The less picturesque landscapes of Chinatown, but that's just the city.
#Bangkok
#Bangkok As they say... Once you grow up, you fall in love? China Town in Bangkok is a special place, at the intersection of two cultures. The streets here somehow remind of Vietnam, and you won't often find Thai language on the signs. However, if you look…

The Bangkok Metro was built quite recently, so all the stations here are standard and modern (you're definitely familiar with that unbroken concrete-metal design). But, when you approach the Royal Palace, you immediately realize you've chosen the right…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok And here's the royal palace itself. Well, the building isn't exactly huge, but overall it looks impressive. You can't enter it, as it remains the king's active residence. But you can watch the changing of the guard at the entrance!)
Finally, another completed quest in #Bangkok - the Temple of the Emerald Buddha at the…
Finally, another completed quest in #Bangkok - the Temple of the Emerald Buddha at the Royal Palace of Thailand! Is it touristy? Yes, definitely. Is it hot? Yes, at +35 degrees, you just want to lie down. Do they rob you at the entrance? Yes, you'll have to…

#Bangkok I didn't really speak highly of BKK Social Club in my last post, so I want to offer an alternative: Every time I come to Bangkok, I go to Lennon's Bar (https://maps.app.goo.gl/5b59s8UAUckP2WqQA) at the Rosewood Hotel. It's a beautifully designed…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok I finally took a ferry ride on the river! Watching the skyscrapers drowning in smog, houses on stilts, cargo ports, gently bobbing on the waves under the scorching sun - well, there's a certain vibe to it, as if you were really at the edge of the…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok I went to the BKK Social Club (https://maps.app.goo.gl/MnvjcHZwsnPpDDYU6) with friends. The area here is beautiful - the bar is located at the Four Seasons hotel on the river, with a paved promenade and views of the still-growing western bank of…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok While walking around the city, I came across this small Chinese temple. As always, I was struck by how different the attitude towards religious places is in different cultures. In such Taoist temples in the neighborhood, people often gather just to…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok When it comes to replenishing water balance in the heat, it's much more important for me to find a Chinese teahouse where I can get a liter of boiling water and leisurely enjoy a drink without sugar and calories. @ Peace Oriental Teahouse…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok I generally dislike Starbucks, but I'm willing to show respect when the chain coffee shop creates something beyond their corporate slop. @ Starbucks Lang Suan (https://maps.app.goo.gl/khBUfANrKHRkRayR7)

#Bangkok This is what third-world countries look like in the 21st century!
#Bangkok
#Bangkok While I wasn't there yet, a viewing platform called Dusit Arun Park opened up next to Lumpini Park. To get there, you need to go up to the sixth floor of the mall and exit onto the roof - there's a multi-story garden connected by wooden walkways…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok I met a friend in the morning. He, not knowing where I currently live, invited me to... Canadian pancakes?! 😆
#Bangkok
#Bangkok Of course, I couldn't help but take photos of the sacred animals of all of Thailand and, at the same time, the channel's mascots - VARANS. This time, I learned that they can also climb trees! Apparently, people below have really gotten fed up with…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok I took a walk along the lake in the local Central Park, Lumpini. There are certainly more skyscrapers than last time! And it seems there will be even more soon, when the new CBD One Bangkok Complex (https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/complex/3149) is…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok A cliché that's become annoying.
I noticed that e-bike rentals have appeared in #Bangkok.
I noticed that e-bike rentals have appeared in #Bangkok. For me, it's a mystery who would ride them here, because the city's streets are still on the level of third-world countries. What would you choose - to ride on roads with crazy traffic with cars and…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok This time, I splurged and stayed in a hotel with such amazing views! It's actually right in the center, near Phloen Chit Station. I wouldn't say it's the ideal long-term location, but for being able to reach 80% of things on foot, it's a good…

In February, I flew to #Bangkok again for a week. A symbolic place for me, where I started nomadic living back in 2022. Now, of course, I can hardly imagine living in this noisy, dusty, and hot metropolis for months. But returning here for a short while,…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok I was upset here, but then I remembered my last walk through the magical streets of Bangkok, and suddenly the stage of acceptance towards Taiwan sets in. And yet, people criticized me, saying that I just didn't understand the aesthetics of this…
On today's topic.
On today's topic. Again about #Bangkok. I've come back here once again. Surprisingly, I'm getting less and less desire to return here. I re-read my old posts about the city, and there's not much to talk about in general, but too little attention was paid to…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok Last weekend, while walking in the park, we accidentally stumbled upon the Thailand Game Show at QSNCC. It's the first time I've heard of it, but it turns out to be an annual gaming event that attracts an incredible number of cosplayers (90% of them…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok And this is a view of the sunset from the pool. In the first photo, there's smog, and in the second, the sky is clear. The difference is just a matter of days. It's really unsettling 😶🌫
#Bangkok
#Bangkok A view from the lake of the city panorama, not far from the park.
#Bangkok
#Bangkok Benchakiti Park is probably the coolest park in terms of city views, among those I've been to. Maybe it reminds someone of Central Park in New York) Generally, parks are not hard to create. Just take a piece of overgrown land, lay out paths, and…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok And these are the mind-bogglingly eye-popping displays of a popular Japanese chain store.
#Bangkok
#Bangkok Another atmospheric Japanese restaurant. There are just so many of them in the area where we live.
#Bangkok
#Bangkok We stocked up on tea in Chinatown.

#Bangkok
#Bangkok A small cozy Japanese bar somewhere in the back alleys of Bangkok) That's where I tried a lot of different Japanese alcohol, most of which I really enjoyed😁
#Bangkok
#Bangkok China Town Thanks for the photos @ArtemChernykh, we chilled together in Thailand. A separate district in Bangkok, filled with all sorts of Chinese stuff - bars, shops, restaurants, street food. There's a ton of people in the evenings, everything's…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok From the attractions) In Bangkok, there's this pontoon, fractally designed temple. It's not located in the center, but it's not hard to get there by metro. It's considered almost a symbol of the city, as everyone loves taking photos of it in the…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok I wrote about accommodation above. Generally, most condo units are similar in both price and quality. But since this is still Asia, for the average rental price in Moscow, you get a swimming pool, a fitness center, and parking as extras here. By…

#Bangkok About Bangkok There's quite a lot to write about Bangkok, as I spent about three months there over the past year (across three visits). So I don't see the point in over-extending the posts - everything won't fit into one anyway. Instead, I'll just…
#Bangkok
#Bangkok It's still the rainy season in Bangkok (supposed to end in October), and it's cloudy and quite cold (24°C at night, 30°C during the day). It's a shame, because it's becoming really hard to go out, as you constantly need to wear a raincoat. Plus,…

#Bangkok This is the kind of shabby place I ended up in. It's actually my third time in Thailand staying in the same apartment complex. It's not too expensive (~40$/night on Airbnb), there are inexpensive Chinese restaurants nearby, the metro is 10 minutes…
