Eat Am Are - steak with somtam

What a name and well , that view of the BTS skytrain passing by every now and then , how can you beat that huh ?

Rung Rueng - uuummm that's definitely not Tom Yum dear

As mentioned in the post before this , we were on the lookout for Chinese Thai cuisine this time round .

And somehow , we ended up in Rung Rueng aka Rung Ruang , because any Chinese worth their salt will go searching for pork based dishes when they feel a little under the weather , or just on a whim .

Me , I didn't hunt this place down . The tuk tuk which brought us out from Yonomori Onsen so happened to whiz by this rather packed restaurant and of course I would notice a crowd in an alley , thus after he dropped us off at the BTS where EM Quartier is , we just had to retrace his route and turn into the small alley .

Shop # 61 - Pridi Banomyong Soi 2 Alley

When I first began exploring Bangkok , there were no apps to act as a guide . As such , travel guides stepped in to fill the wanting gap , especially when it came to satiating the gourmand me . Ah those were good times ..... the places they took us to eat were so good and yet their location was pretty much out of the way , making it rather difficult to pinpoint and locate when I returned on my own .

Most times , we were taken to mom and pop establishments run by Thai Chinese , where we had some truly satisfying offerings . 

Today , that's what I'm back for this time round . Thai Chinese food . 

Despite the advancements ,  this beaten shop was no where on anybody's good food map , yet I managed to sniff it out after a lot of stubborn perserverance and a little bit of luck .

Ibis Styles Sukhumvit Phra Khanong

Welcome to the breakfast room located on the 7th floor of  Ibis Styles Bangkok Sukhumvit Phra Khanong ....
gulp ! ...what a mouthful .

Star dark , star bright

If you notice already by now , I like to pick up pieces which I actually like from here and there and then only think about how to piece them together in a mix and match manner later . 

Sometimes it works , other times , I think to myself " what on earth was I thinking of back then ? " but most times , this habit of mine ends up with me either looking terribly peculiar or arresting depending on who's looking actually .

Now , as you already have seen from my backposts , I really don't need more earrings but then this particular stall was " throwing prices " so to speak , and of all things I had to go pick the one single earring that cost more than all the other flat priced earrings on offer . Still it cost me less than MYR 10 ( 30 baht to be exact ) , so I would still consider this quite a good buy .

Only thing I did not bargain for was the earring not staying put on sparkling black which I liked ..........

Yunomori Onsen & Spa - soda spa , thermal waters from Kanchanaburi

Here I am at long last . 

Finally , I have made it to Yunomori Onsen & Spa in Bangkok , my 4th global spa experience after Kaohsiung , Budapest and Narita .

Airpocalypse from the 23rd floor

Regular tourists will either change their plans or fly the other way but well , here I am . 

Lace lookalike playsuit

Cotton On still holds court for the best fitting playsuits that are all at once flowy , feminine and yet so outstanding in it's recognisable design and versatility .

To date , this has got to be the prettiest playsuit I've added to my wardrobe .

Long sleeves , ruffled edges on the pant leg with bell sleeves ....

Tiger striped bomber jacket from Mango

It's funny how I ended up finding yet another gem when I

was just randomly going through some clothes racks , in order to kill time .

Made in Turkey under the Mango label , it's a bomber jacket with a difference . 

Compared to the oriental inspired red and off shoulder black Cotton On bomber jackets I purchased last year , this one's considerably sheer , with an inner black lining , thus making it  comfortable enough to be worn even under the blazing sun .
