I hope there will always be pockets of the old original houses dotted around Bangkok. I feel it’s part of the charm but with prices of land so high I can’t see them surviving.
Could be they are waiting for the tide to change. Much easier I would suspect to head up the river in high tide.

Great Pics Mike. 1 more day....
It’s fun when they start moving around at 3am.
maybe being on the river wouldn’t be so great long term.
There will never be a better time to be in Bangkok or in Thailand in general. The lack of tourists, mongering scum and humanity is simply brilliant.
If you plebs are sitting at home waiting for Crono to die down before heading back all i can say is this.
Tough shit cry babies, the time is now.
indeed it is terence. we have just booked our return flights and look forward to a quieter and more peaceful thailand, and to a country where the restaurants, businesses and services actually welcome customers as opposed to treating them in an offhand manner and too often with disdain, which was becoming more and more common pre covid, especially in areas that hosted a lot of foreigners.
a reset has long been overdue, and not only in thailand.
Made it back home to Bantak after my 5 days in Bangkok.
After an unusual situation with the hotel concierge where he wanted to come along with the driver I ended up flying back. Out of fear I’d end up broke naked and face down in a ditch.
Here comes the family 15 minutes late after stopping for noodles.

Is that the Anantara? It looks like the place I stayed with my family about 20 years ago, at which time, if I remember correctly, it was a Marriott resort.
Correct Shutree I thought it would be great if I had to do 7 days in my room but with the test and go it was a bit of a hike to get to sky train and other places.
It’s still in great shape for being so old but the whole place was pretty much mothballed.
I see my attempt to block out the tag number was futile
