Khun rotikosong, nice infinity pool. Was this a glitzy hotel along C Phraya river? :p And Yaowarat tong shop looks familiar sight on main stretch
I was at a Yaowarat gold shop called Hua Seng Heng (which I believe is a trusted brand) opposite the White Orchid Hotel and the shop was crowded. All along the counter were customers 2-deep. Customers were counting out so many large bundles of cash on the counter that at first, I was a little afraid that a robbery might take place.
I did a walk of Chinatown from Wai Traimit (the largest gold buddha) to Wat Mangkorn Kamalawat (large Chinese-style temple). Along the way, had coffee at teochew-style coffeeshop. Old customers there all seem to speak Teochew (I think). Passed by millions of birds-next, sharks-fin, sio bak etc.
Weather was super hot though. Didn't rain until the last day I was there when it rained dogs and cats in the evening. Parts of the highway (tang duan) were shut down in the afternoon because the King was coming back from Ayutthaya
