Dramatic pictures at Sukhumwit Aquaduct #ThaiFlood

11 Oct

I’m at Sukhumwit Aquaduct in Samut Prakan. Pumps here working hard to get water from Suvarnabhumi Airport to the sea. The drainage canal is very full. Before it can be pumped up and over Sukhumwit Road & into the sea, the floating debris has to be cleared. As a result pumps are not working full time.

Rat Naa Mee Grob Jay

05 Oct

P192

This is the vegan version of the pork noodles in a thick gravy “rat naa”. I had “mee grob” which is the crispy egg noodles, though hopefully they bought the ones made without egg. It was actually quite good. Shame they won’t be selling it any more.

Som Tam Jay

P186

This is the vegetarian version of som tam. Although it was still spicy, I found it a bit bland. Maybe missing the grilled chicken that I usually have with it.

Vegan Pad Thai

04 Oct

P182

All of my local food stalls at Taiban Circle have gone vegan for the Vegetarian Festival. Most of them have changed the recipe slightly to be vegan while a couple have new dishes. There are several dozen stalls here but none have meat. This is the famous pad thai but no egg or shrimp. Still good though.

PHOTOS: Bangkok Treehouse

01 Oct

This morning we went to take a look at the Bangkok Treehouse which is a new riverside hotel. They are building this green hotel in an area which is called the “lungs of Bangkok”. They have some really exciting ideas. Can’t wait to see once it’s finished.
