Got Bangkok

Loi Krathong is a Thai festival that is celebrated every year throughout Thailand. For this year Loi Krathong falls on today, Sunday November 21st. This festival is from the ancient practice of paying respect to the spirts of the waters, but today is more of a Thai-style Valentines day, or simply a time to have fun There are usually plenty of beauty contests and firework displays all around Thailand, in the big cities and even in the smaller provinces

So get your loved ones and go send out your Loi Krathong

Don’t forget to fly your Khom Fai for Yi Peng festival too!

Cow Tom Ooh Tong
“great food at late night in Bangkok”
Open everyday 5:00pm – 4:00am
Website: none
Call: none
Address: Ratchadapisek Soi 10, Bangkok (Huay Kwang MRT station)

Cow Tom Ooh Tong is a great restaurant for hanging out with your friends, for eating great authentic thai food and drinking beers, especially a night time thing. They have my favorite Tom Yum Goong in Bangkok. The food here is great and you will be shocked once you get the bill, the prices are amazingly cheap! The scene here is very nice, nice vibes as you can sit there eating and watching the Ratchada traffic go by. There are a few friendly dogs that live there and always running around the tables and playing to give a nice home feeling. I would highly recommend this restaurant for those of you living in the Ratchadapisek area, and it’s late night, great for 1 last stop after the night clubs on the weekends!

The Menu: They have a menu full of great choices of Thai foods. Many fish platters, soup platters, and a very delicious Tom Yum Kung, probably my favorite Tom Yum in Bangkok. Also the garlic shrimps and goong sha nam pla is wonderful too, that is the raw shrimp in a lemon sauce that you dip into seafood sauce
What I Ate: I always get the shrimp dishes, Tom Yum Goong, my favorite in Bangkok, garlic shrimps, morning glory in oyster sauce, pad kra pao
The Staff: Always very friendly with a welcoming smile everytime I go here
The Bathroom: The restrooms here are decent, but not the best

Conclusion:

Extras: none

My friends and I were shopping around Huay Kwang night market and we heard a band from upstairs in the Huay Khwang Terrace. So we decided to go take a look, and to our surprise this place was jam packed at 3am, with live band playing popular Thai rock and pop songs, people enjoying their Heineken, Singha, and San Miguel beer towers, and eating plenty of the famous Thai cuisines like pa-nang moo, pad kra paw gai, kai jiaw moo sap, tom yum goong, and plenty others. We sat down, ordered a beer tower and some thai seafood dishes and talked the night away. This place is not too loud, so you can speak to each other at a good comfort level. I will become a regular customer here at this wonderful place! LOVE IT!

The Menu: The choices on the menu here is endless, tons of Thai foods, nam prik kapi, seafoods, french fries, and steak dishes, you will be satisfied with your choices here for sure!
What I Ate: I ordered a plate of spicy thai fried meatballs called “Lab moo tod” and they are very delicious! I highly recommend them, especially good for beer drinking
The Staff: There is plenty of staff, just raise your hand and they are there to help you, and always there to refill your beers and drinks
The Bathroom: The bathrooms here are nice, big, and clean, there is no tissue, but there is a dispenser machine on the wall you can buy tissue for 2 baht

Extras: When you first arrive and walk upstairs there is also video games, 2 basketball machines, live band, karaoke rooms, billiards, this place is packed with things to do

I just seen the big Thai star and celebrity model named Chompoo Areeya at Esplenade in Ratchada today. Just minutes ago. All of us living here or visiting here in Thailand see Chompoo Areeya on adverts all over the cities, but to see her in person was a bit surreal, very neat.

She’s even more pretty in person!

Now I’d also love to see Pachrapa Chaichua someday, aka Aum, pleaseeeee!!!!

If you are like me, sometimes even the most simple basic American-style foods are missed sometimes. While I was shopping in Carrefour yesterday, I realized they have all the ingredients needed to make my own chili dogs!

Hot dogs from their meat department, sliced Kraft cheese, hot dog buns, and the only chili I could find was “Amy’s Organic Chili”.

They tasted great guys! I hope this opens your eyes to see, you can still get some of those foods that you missed so much from back home

Enjoy

The Thailand Pet Expo 2010 was filled with tons of people today, Saturday July 24th. Every aisle was jam packed and there were mini traffic jams of people, pets, big dogs, little dogs and pet strollers. It was a lot of fun, to see everyone’s beautiful animals, whether it was the big huskies and great danes, or the most popular little dogs like the pommeranian (poms).

The fashion show was nice, with young models modeling cute new dog handbags and even had a show of some hip hop dancers and a dog riding in an automatic car!

I would like to thank Boonma (www.boonma.com) Moving and storage company for giving us our cute little stuffed animal teddy bear, and to all the exhibitors for putting a great show, all the fans and customers for showing great support for these wonderful little cuties and also, thank you to the animals, pets are a great friend and family member to all of us, if you give a pet the chance, they will love you unconditionally for the rest of your life!

Also, please support The Society for Promotion of Animal Welfare, SCAD Bangkok, and PETA Asia Pacific (PAP)
