UNDER CONSTRUCTION note: when we visit a new area to "Discover" we usually return several times to build data so... be patient or come and try and contribute to the discovery Logistics Ratchathewi area is near centre of town at Sukhumvit end The Canal Saen Saep cuts through the back of the city The walk was a few hours; pics and eats and a lot of walking as a discovery mission - you can fast sections by taxi why this track1. add Pier 18 Nana Chard to social media links 2. walk along the Saen Saep Canal canal for pics / vid of ferry 3. watch the hyper activity at Pier 17 Asok this is the Interchange for the MRT (subway) and BTS (skytrain) and railway 4. collect pics / vid of BTS Makasan - airport link the walk from the Pier is short, busy on the footpath lots of street food, lots of people going home, busy intersection to cross. The train stops at the intersection and flocks of people migrate to the skytrain above or to motor bile taxi or to the MRT (subway) or Canal - it's pretty full on .. 5. Random Adventure after buying some delicious street food chicken (local version of KFC lol) around 20bt the Random decision was made to try to walk to the night markets at Talad Neon with so many taxi options it's never a rash decision coz you can just flag down a ride and finish leg of the journey by vehicle - motor bike, tuk tuk or aircon taxi The walk around Petachaburi road (around 7.00pm) did not reveal many Icons, although a few sub Sois on the left leading back to the klong (canal) need to be explored several stops along the way for street food, chicken and fresh coconut juice 6. at Neon Night Markets there are many interesting sights you have clear view of two (2) major rooftops from the front of the markets you can see Redsky (60 flrs) and from the rear of the markets at the open air bars you can see Baiyoke tower (83 flrs) The markets are very appealing for tourist wide isles very bright lighting for an open air market Thai and english signage cheap price food and souvenirs incredible sweets open air bars to the rear with foot massage service ontop of the bars (sea containers) with view of the city skyline loads of taxi and tuktuk There are alternative markets - see links below Adventurewalk or ride along the local canal the ride on the canal is a given but the walk is interesting especially to watch the hectic rush of boats in and out of the small space street food, intensity of traffic / people cars at the intersection below the skytrain station walk to night markets was a little dull Night markets fun way to enjoy eats and drinks and view of rooftops and plan more events Adminwhat we missed did not take pics of 1. street food 2. busy intersection of traffic .. at sunset a photo of the intensity of people traffic the railway crossing, train arrives, people aloft, cars and bikes waiting at traffic lights, people walking along overhead sky bridge people on street, street food - it's a buzz - ideal for a 360 video .. 3. the train stopping at the intersection below BTS and mass of people getting on off Other stuff to try 1. walk along the railway track - looks scary .. where people live 2. along Petchaburi road on the left some small soi back to the canal - looks interesting 3. walk back to Sukhumvit along Soi 21 Asok - all retail Icons .. 4.
