Great video, I liked that the monthly rate at that $13 per night Nantra Hotel, was less than $390 (or $13x30). I think she said $345, thanks for asking her! Most KZbinrs wouldn't even think to ask important questions like that. I'm glad you noticed that delivery table, good attention to detail!

This one evoked a lot of memories of living a few years in Soi 22. Those exotic cars in Emshere reminded me of the curfews during the red shirt troubles. Owners of such cars took advantage of an empty Sukhumvit road to unleash their cars in high speed runs. Only time I ever saw (and HEARD!) a Bugatti Veyron in real life.

Hello STL, over the past year, I've been following your foot steps to most of your stays recommendations throughout Thailand, thoroughly enjoyed . And for the first time, you're following mine in this Nantra hotel that I frequented in the past year. Really nice comfortable accommodation and nice pleasant staff; not to mention the perfect location for both traveling, dining & shopping. But as this is a popular small hotel with long staying guests, make sure you book early b4 the price doubled or sold out ! Looking forward to bump into you by chance during one of these stays 😊

As much as I want the beach scene(s), this was *amazing* !!! Mad Dog looks like a place I'd love to hang at -- especially with that kind of live music, almost brought a tear to my eyes, it brought me massive joy to hear that! Looks like I'll be exploring Thailand first, rather than a South America road trip followed by Thailand -- Mexico, Ecuador and Columbia have too much high-risk turmoil for the time being. Thailand seems safe, affordable and comfortable. Btw, this forty minutes felt like about 15 -- never a dull moment, time flies when you're having a blast... Cheers!...from North Vancouver

I was watching the final touches to the outside when they were laying the pavers last November 2023 on the Sukhumvit Entry side and then in May of 2024 went in there a couple of times for meals and it was quite nice. Just like Terminal 21, too many fabulous choices for food. One lunch I had to have the Swedish meatballs from IKEA....it helps to know that those budget hotels are near there at that stop on the BTS. Terminal 21 is still a fairly short walk from this area...maybe ten minutes, something like that.

Maybe next time when i do visit Thailand again,we could meet up..meant me and my hubby. I have to say that there's lots of walking involved during my stay and need to stay hydrated as it's still pretty hot in Thailand😅 I love to do the south of Bangkok in future as we did Phuket,Chiangmai n Bangkok this time.Look forward to your next video mate.😊
