Going Swimming

first time using the Blue MRT line starting at Sirindhorn Station


lots of growth


firing range



Tigers!








Got a coffee there!


What a pool! I went there to meet an American expat friend. I got there at 7:15 AM. It was 15 MRT (metro) stops and another 9 BTS (skytrain) stops. Took an hour!



Something so simple - fried rice with seafood - yet so good.








Next up was a 90-minute massage.







The man who sat next to me was friendly.  He ended up wanting me to follow him to a tailor where he said I could get a great deal on a suit.  He might have been genuine and sincere, but there are scams in Thailand where you end up feeling forced to buy something you don't need and the person arranging it gets a nice commission.  Didn't go with him.  He possibly is a great person, but in a situation like this it's best to be very cautious.



Hand sanitizer is everywhere in Bangkok.




Right through there is Central Pinklao shopping mall.

closer view


Bangkok is investing big.


Nice to see old, dirty shophouses being renovated.
