[...] Interesting squares of bread topped with whipped cream and cornflakes, jams, almond flakes or chocolate chips. No name for this, but I figure that this could be a pedestrian version of Mon Nom Sod? [...]

In Thailand many chicken rice shops/stalls are owned by Muslims. If you see the green crescent moon and star logo it means that the owner is Muslim. (and there’ll be no blood tofu)

Khao man kai (which means oil chicken rice) is just the Thai version of Hainanese chicken rice. Similar cooking methods.

Hi J2Kfm,
I am traveling to Bangkok from the U.S. for the first time in May. I’ll be on my own for the first day since my friend is not arriving until later that night. Is it safe for an american woman to go to the Chatuchak market alone just to wander around and buy some souveniers? Also, should I be wary of eating the food there, as far as being warned that “street food” could upset your stomach if you’re a foreigner?
Thanks so much!

hi Octopusmum,
this is a group tour of sorts.

we searched for a tour company in Khao San Rd itself, meaning that luxury’s the least on our minds.

not to say the trip was bad, or half bad, for that matter.
that’s a little pricey, S$300 per day! our trip which covered Floating Market and Death Railway (with optional stop at Tiger’s temple – additional RM50 per person per entry) came to only 450 baht/RM45 per person. with some bargaining of course.

we did not go to the other places you mentioned, namely railway market and erawan falls, hence the price might differ.

S2S is NOT the closest you can get to a BTS, you’ll still need to walk a considerable distance to one. I’ll suggest you search for more convenient accomodations if you’re bringing children.

BKK offers so much good food, it all boils down to WHAT you’re seeking (street food/restaurant/cafe?) and where you’re staying. Its almost ridiculous to hop on a train to a far out place for a meal, when shopping centres already offer so much delicious fare not commonly found here.

have fun!

HI J2kfm
am planning a trip to bangkok and pattaya end of this year…
read that you have visited the floating mkt and death railway this trip. may i know did you join a gp or pte tour? what are the charges? and are u happy with the service? reason for asking is that, i was told that Tour with Tong is v good (not sure if you have heard of this guide) but pricey, cost about S$300 for a day tour to railway mkt, floating mkt, bridge over river kwai,death railway and erawan falls. Not sure if it was worth the $ to get her or just any tour shop in Bangkok will do…
another thing, do u know if the S2S boutique resort has interconnecting rooms? i am looking for a place to accomodate 2 adults and 3 kids near to the BTS.any recommendations?
finally, any food blog about bangkok food which you can recommend? i will surely read yours but would like to see if there are other places i can go for good food over there.
thks
regards
octopusmum
