Sunday walking street in Bangkok

Silom is one of the central districts of Bangkok. During the week the traffic on the main road continues for the whole day. On Sundays, this artery is closed to traffic so that in the shade of the Skytrain viaduct could give shelter to the market stalls. There you can buy just everything. Besides, a...

Bangkok by night

Dinner in the restaurant The River Vibe Pub with views of the city and night traffic on the river. Reaching the place provides excitement itself, because it is difficult to find the restuarant in the maze of streets and alleys of old Bangkok.

Then, the latest of the lastest (for us at least) - Airbus 380 - the giant takes on more than 550 passengers on two decks. Ever...

Last supper

Moderate prices and warm and eficient service despite  the 100% occupancy. Some eat pizzas (the vegetarian one, the best in the world), some soup with mussels , and ot...

Sunday in Piazza di Spagna and vicinity

We are staying at 6 Via della Croce, 50 meters from Piazza di Spagna. This place never sleeps. Thousands (in February hundreds) of tourists throng that famous place.
