Sathorn Bangkok

Sathorn - a commercial area a bit south of the downtown Bangkok, lies from Rama 4 (Paranarm Si) Road to the river bank of Chaophyra River at the BTS station terminal station Saphan Taksin. As I have written too much about the River, especially Shangrila to Oriental, I took a morning stroll this morning in the beginning of Sathorn, and took some photos of it.

1. See the sign for Jer Ngor Thai Chinese restaurant? The Banyan tree building looks very unique on Sathorn. 2. guess what? Go to the below 9/10 photos.

3. The power lines reminded me of the old time of Hong Kong. 4. LH Bank

5. Took a Moca at Starbucks in Life Center of Sathorn. Enjoyed the traffic outside. Yes, enjoy the traffic. Don't often think traffic is something bad. When you are stuck in a traffic, that means you have a minute to think of something else. Be with it. 6. the sign for Metropolitan Hotel entrance.

7. As you can tell from the fading paint of this bicycle trail, it must have been there for quite some time. So where are the bikers? 8. ok, this photo may ironically tell you because the trail runs into the taxi queue. Besides, it's in red color - kind of a warning for the bikers, not for the other vehicles drivers.

9. Banyan Tree Hotel - for some reason, I haven't been to this hotel actually. 10. The Sukhothai Hotel - oh, the old time of Celadon, Thai restaurant - the coconut fragrant rice.

Thanks for showing that sign of Jer Ngo (I often think it is Ngo Jer, but maybe Thai words revert it).

Good term "die hard". That's also why I got surprised with this lane.
