In reply to Marsha. Is that Rot Fai market you're talking about? If so, I've written about it before -- love it!

Hi Alex, that was a pretty good tour! I went to Octave last year and I loved it, nice vibe and a view over the city. When you are in BKK again, you should try the Train Market behind Eplanade at Thailand Cultural Center MRT, cheap drinks and food, mainly young Thai crowd with a few westerners thrown in lol.

Hey Kirstin! There are tons of opticians in Bangkok and honestly I just buy whatever contact solution they carry — usually I buy not the cheapest one and not the most expensive but somewhere in the middle, and I don’t really pay attention to the brand. But don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of options! Good luck.

In reply to Rob. I've been to the first three, but not Banyan Tree! It's on my list :)

Hi,
I’m in the Phang Nga province, 2 hours from Phuket and headed to Bangkok in 2 weeks Annd I’m almost out of contact solution, any suggestions for a Thai reccomdation and where I can get it as I’m confident they won’t have my Canadian brand.

I love the rooftop bars in Bangkok. Check out The Speakeasy at Hotel Muse, Cloud 47, Octave at the Marriot Sukhumvit and my favourite the Banyan Tree Hotel!

In reply to Tina Ostrowski. I've heard such good things about Havana... dying to go there! Thanks for another thumbs up. It's top of my list!

Next time you’re in BKK you have to hit up Havana and Sing Sing in Sukhumvit! Havana is super cool, you go through a little phone booth into a Cuban-themed bar with dope cocktails, it literally feels like you’re in Cuba. Thanks for the info on the dinner cruise, I’ve done a different one on the Chao Praya that was sickeningly touristy, good to know that a different one is worth another try.

In reply to Marni. My junior prom was a cruise around my hometown! It was super fun :) I'll have to do it again sometime, now that booze can be involved...
