Bangkok Landmarks & Monuments, Do You Know Them?

[dirtydog]

Seems I am spending a lot of time in Banyais local area, also seems others are getting a bit confused with Bangkok and Kanchanaburi, can you lot just fuk off please as they are 2 different places miles away from each other.

In council estates in the UK they are called tower blocks, in the docklands in London they are called skyscrapers, what makes the difference? Money or size?

3 photos of Bangkoks finest skyscrapers.

First up is one of the worlds tallest pig styes. Probably better to live in it rather than across the road from it, they get the shit view, you don't



Stick a poster on the building and save on painting costs for the year, yes this is Thailand.



Bit nicer then the pig styes above, close neighbours they are.

So last but not least, this building stood out because it had some paint on it, much better than dirty grey colour I reckon, so can you name any of these slum dwellings?

Second one is top os Asok-Montri and the last one is the new condo on Petchburi near the Amari Atrium.

[dirtydog]

Your getting very good at this Bob, don't know anybody living in the pig stye though?

[Chairman Mao]

This isn't in Bangkok, but...

also seems others are getting a bit confused with Bangkok and Kanchanaburi, can you lot just fuk off please as they are 2 different places miles away from each other.

Apologies.

I will fuck off from the thread post haste and delete the photo from the gallery in order to clean the thread.

I wasn't going to include any Temples or Wats from Bangkok, but well, it is just 1, so which Bangkok Temple is this?

[Bangyai]

Wat Po ?

If not, there's another that looks like this on Soi Atsadang. Have to look up its name though.

And what about post 95 ??? Was that right or is it somewhere else ?

Just checked....defo Wat Po.

[dirtydog]

Yeah Wat Pho or Po, not sure of the spelling which is a bit ridiculous on a 2 or 3 letter word, but thats Thailand and the internet for you, Thailand wants Wat Po, the rest of the world wants Wat Pho, Thais are stubborn so Wat Po it will be.

Could you please post a picture of either the Happy Bar on Soi 22 or The Star of Light, or maybe even the 7/11 on Soi 4 or the kebab shop on soi 3. This game is for all of us and I feel it only fair to include some questions for those with short term memory loss but excellent facial recognition.

[Thaidan]

I like this thread a lot.

Lots of bridges in Bangkok, anybody know the name of this bridge? Not quite as smart as some of the other Bangkok bridges but probably does the job, well, until it falls into the Chao Phraya river in a rusted heap with great loss of life from water poisoning, no mystery will be surrounding this one Guy

[nidhogg]

^ Bangkok Memorial bridge, or Phra Phutta Yodfa bridge

[dirtydog]

I keep thinking it is supposed to be Bangkok Memorial Bridge, girlfriend says it's Phra Phutta Yodfa bridge, maybe memorial is the English translation? Got to be aint it

[Bangyai]

Another starter for ten whilst we're on bridges :

[nidhogg]

Pinklao bridge.

[Bangyai]

^ Too easy .

O.K. here are a couple I don't know the name of myself without looking up.

[Norton]

Hint. Not a bridge.

[VocalNeal]

Rama 7 and the railway bridge. EGAT is out of the picture to the left.

[nidhogg]

^^^ Rama VI

(the railway bridge)

[Bangyai]

Yep, the railway bridge but seems to be a difference of opinion on the other one

[nidhogg]

Nope - Rama VI (Rama 6) is the railway bridge - not rama 7.

beg your pardon - the two bridges are side by side. Rama 6 (railway - metal) Rama 7 concrete just next to it.

Beat me to it. In the confusion I had to go and get my trusty map book out to clarify things.

[dirtydog]

So on the bridge and my girlfriend is taking pictures, nice temple there with the boat in the foreground, obviously didn't take note of the name of the temple, but I am sure some of you will know which temple this is.

This will end up as a process of elimination.

[Bogon]

Thailand's KKK headquarters?

I haven't got a clue!
