Bangkok: Lost in the night (video)
It goes without saying that Bangkok is an impressive city during the day. At night the city is perhaps even more impressive. Bangkok is alive 24 hours a day. In the dark, the millions of lights, the speeding traffic and the many screaming billboards make it clear that you have ended up in a gigantic metropolis.
The tunnel at Sukhumvit in Pattaya is ready
It took a long time, but then you have something. The tunnel on the Sukhumvit near Pattaya is ready. On Friday afternoon, a number of police officers could already be seen, but it was unclear at that time what was going on. Later it turned out that the tunnel was opened.
You have to go to Bangkok for a new passport
Unfortunately, I still had a passport that was only valid for five years. It had to be replaced by October 9 with a copy that will retain its value for ten years. Lizzy's Dutch travel document expired around the same date, although it must be replaced every five years until she turns eighteen due to the changing appearance.
Anyone who regularly travels with Skytrain on the green Sukhumvit line will have noticed: the trains are packed and that will only increase. The operator BTS has therefore ordered additional trains.
There is plenty to see and do in the cosmopolitan city of Bangkok. You cannot avoid making a choice, especially if you are only staying in Bangkok for a few days. With this video you can get ideas and inspiration.
