Attending my first ever black tie event in London with my new tuxedo by @patrickncobespoke and my new shoes by @donsfootwear. I was there for the launch of Visit Thailand Year 2022 at the WTM.
Now that I have a tuxedo, hopefully I will be invited to events in Bangkok. I hear that there might be a Michelin Guide gala dinner next month. I’m ready!

A Chinese porcelain figure stands guard at the entrance to a Thai temple. This is Wat Ratcha Orasaram Ratchaworawihan in Chom Thong district of Bangkok. It is an impressive temple and a hidden gem. It was built by Rama III in a Thai-Chinese style.

This afternoon I was back at Patrick & Co in Thong Lor for my first fitting for the tuxedo. In less than two weeks I will be attending a black tie event in London. They’ve made good progress. My tailor reckons I should be able to go in for the final fitting next Wednesday. I’m excited to see it finished. I’ve never had tailored clothes before.

This is the monument near Paknam Market in Samut Prakan for the first railway line in Thailand. On 17th April 1893, King Rama V came to Paknam for the opening ceremony. The length of the line was 21 kilometers and it had 10 stations. King Chulalongkorn left Paknam in a steam train at 11am and arrived at Hua Lamphong station in Bangkok at 11:45am. These stations and line no longer exist but there is now a skytrain station called Paknam Station and a subway station called Hua Lamphong Station.

If you are hungry for a good bowl of noodle soup in Bangkok, can I recommend @worldchampionnoodles on Soi Sukhumwit 65. They are a short walk down the Soi opposite the 7-11. I had the Tom Yum Egg Noodle Soup with wontons and crispy pork. The latter was excellent. They also serve this on rice. The food vendors can speak English and will help you with your order.

A shoemaker at work in his workshop. I’m attending a black tie event in a couple of weeks and I have no suitable shoes to wear. As I have really big feet, it’s difficult to buy off the shelf. And I definitely cannot in Thailand. So today I visited @donsfootwear to get my feet measured for a custom made pair. I will go back next week for the fitting.

This is one of the canal-side houses that we passed while on the @hiddenbangkoktours yesterday. What do you think? Would you like to live there?

On a boat tour with @hiddenbangkoktours in #Bangkok

I had a really great time this afternoon with Hidden Bangkok Tours doing a boat tour of the canals on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. The highlight was passing the giant seated Buddha at Wat Paknam. I love doing boat trips and also observing canal-side life and so it was a really enjoyable trip.
The team from Hidden Bangkok are very knowledgeable as they are all born and bred in this area. They also all speak excellent English.
The starting price for the boat trip is 2,500 Baht which is for 1-5 people. So the more people you take the cheaper it is. Their most popular tour is the sunset one starting at 5pm and lasts two hours. You can take your own drinks and have a pizza party if you like.
They are on Facebook and Instagram with the username @hiddenbangkoktours and on Twitter as hiddenbangkok.

They also have an Airbnb place alongside the canal in Wat Nak Klang community (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/23498446). I was thinking I might stay there next month. It’s a really nice looking community.

People kayaking on Khlong Ong Ang which is the outer most for the grand palace. The BMA has done a really good job of renovating and cleaning this whole area so that activities like this can now take place. Before much of this canal was covered over by a market and the water was basically an open sewer. Now we have this beautiful walking street on the edge of Chinatown.

This is one of my favorite Thai street food snacks. But really I shouldn’t eat too often as it is deep fried. This one is from a food court at Thai Taste Hub in the Mahanakhon CUBE. Lots of great street food here but with quality ingredients. Popular with office workers at lunch time. It’s right next to BTS Chong Nonsi station.

Street art by Headache Stencil in support of same sex marriage in Thailand. He is regarded as Thailand’s answer to Banksy. I found this one on Soi Sukhumwit 56 in Bangkok. There are some more on Soi 58.
Spicy stirfried basil is always one of my favourite #ThaiFood dishes. This one is with duck.

This is Klong Lad Pho flood gates in Phra Pradaeng district of Samut Prakan. There’s been a short cut canal here for hundreds of years, but the canal was widened and flood gates built in 2006 to help alleviate the flood problem in Bangkok. The big loop in this section of the Chao Phraya River is 18km long but the short cut canal is only 600 meters. When the tide goes out, they open the flood gates and instead of the journey taking 5 hours, it’s only ten minutes along the shortcut.

On top of the world. Or the next best thing. On top of Bangkok. The King Power Mahanakhon building has now reopened. At 314 meters high it is the highest publicly accessible rooftop in the capital.
