The start of a love affair with Thailand for Adam. He'll never be the same. He'll be better. I was 10 years older then him when I took my first trip to Thailand, and have never stopped loving that country. It really is my 2nd home and I'll never forget the voice on the BTS announcing Nana. 🧘🏻❤️

I think that Nana (in the Farang (aka "Western") world view/sense/mentality) meant "Grandmother, Grandma, and/or Nana." I think that there was a Sports Bar, next to Hooters behind a Brown (LED) sign... this was when I last visited Bangkok in February 2019...

Great informative video on short term rentals. He had to pick the 1st one at his age, pool, view, location, efficient use of space, and convenient to BTS, smart man. I can see why Chris is successful, gives the people what they want, is direct to the point, provides useful, informative information, a glimpse of the surrounding area and in a fun manner points out some things that might not be as appealing to others. I think people are willing to help Chris because they can tell he is a genuine, nice, caring person who shows respect to others.

I stayed at that Rhythm condo a few times. I like that area with the Gateway mall right there and easy BTS access. One issue I have had at these modern condos in Bangkok is the regular sewage smell in the condo itself. Probably about 1/3 of the condos seem to have this smell. A wet towel put over the drain in the shower seems to help a little but I've never really understood the cause of it. I can only assume maybe bad plumbing, All the places I've stayed that had it were relatively new high rise condos. I've only stayed at modern condos so I don't know if older places have the same issue. Curious if others notice this as well and if anyone has an idea of why this occurs.
