Finding This In Bangkok Was Not As Easy As I Expected

I have 2 broken tech items that I need to replace today in Bangkok. Let's see if I can find them at one of the tech shops, and then explore some of this city. Today I go shopping at 3 different malls as I look to replace some broken gear. I also stop for a quick lunch at Sushiro, one of my favorite quick sushi spots. After visiting literally dozens of stores in 3 separate malls, I decided it was time to go and explore for a little bit. The klong canal water taxis are a great way to get around Bangkok and avoid the crazy traffic in this giant city. Monsoon season is upon us, and I lucked out with only a little bit of a downpour on today's journey. Did I find what I was looking for? Let's go!

Thanks for showing my old area where I stayed until May 2023 (around Khlongtan, Ekkamai Soi 23). I loved that area around Wichit Witthaya School, and the mosque you showed around 12:00 I sometimes visited for prayer. Very lovely video.

If you get lost in an alley, pay attention to the road line if there is a yellow color in the middle of the road. This means that this path Can exit onto the main road.

Zerg, you have lived in Bangkok long enough to know that there is no “v” sound in the Thai language. Any time you see a “V”, it is pronounced as a “W” ; Sukhumwit, not Sukhumvit, even though it’s written that way. The French messed up the way they translated everything. When you learn to read Thai, you understand how to properly pronounce things. And yes, farang can learn to read Thai!

FYI...the word SOCCER was invented by the Brits. It's short for ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. Soccer is derived from as-SOC(cer)-iation. Don't blame Americans! The name SOCCER was created to differentiate this sport from RUGBY FOOTBALL or RUGGERS. By the way, Australia uses the word SOCCER.
