The state of my apartment block in Mandalay is typical of many building built pre "democracy" and is rather run down on the whole. The elevators of been creaking for a while now and this notice provides little comfort- quite the opposite. To add insult to injury the address of the office is in the area I would love to live in.
Where I don't live-boo!

Some backpackers way off the beaten track

Can't go for a Dairy Queen Almond Caramel Ite Clim without bumping into Adolf's Asian Nazi Youth. Four swastikas. Suspect the bag was empty.

Sundown over Mandalay from the corridor window of my apartment block. While the city isn't going to win any beauty contests we do get some stunning sunsets on a regular basis.
Elevators? Luxury, sheer luxury!Quote:
The elevators of been creaking for a while now...
It's still just over halfway up. Highest ever flyover built in Thailand...so far. After clearing the intersection will be the steepest ever BTS slope down to Mo Chit station. Exciting stuff!
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2017/07/2659.jpg
Note the scaffold/stair access. Not wobbly bamboo ladders.

Huge queues near Central Lat Phrao. Not sure why, maybe the bike taxi guys are still hungover.
In the middle is the new Lat Phrao Intersection station, due to be operational in 18 months.

This will make a good ''before'' pic in a couple of years when the 26m BTS viaduct at Lat Phrao is finished and the apartments behind are finished. Watch this space

That is a good photo at big C,crates and crates of falsies.
That's Thong Lor in the distance, you on the Airport Line?

(this pic appeared in the BTS/MRT construction thread several months back, but that thread is now defunct as all the pics fell victim to the Photobucket rip-off)

I promised I'd make him famous...

So it's named 'Lat Prao'?Quote:

Turn round 180 degrees and the extension officialy starts here. The first pillar goes up towards Lat Phrao Intersection.
