I just watched the first episode of S7, I sort of wanted the whole series to be out there before I started. Is it all going to be about how important, tough and better women are? Sexist, I preferred the earlier series where the arrival of a new female meant she would soon be getting her kit off.... I am such a pleb!

Haha, yes nice to have the shit scared out of me by people suddenly deciding to turn right for Foodland, I have missed that.

Correct, I was there many times. Hot as hell in summer.

View Talays do have a fairly good reputation. Coincidentally talking of them with friends only yesterday. It was with a guy staying in the well located VT 5 and another across the Thrappaya road at the older VT2, so not sure wrt VT 4. They all look the same, little boxes off a long prison corridor.. Bigger penthouses on the top floors are impressive though with great views.

Shhh... who says the chaos has stopped yet? I too was in the area Sunday morning. Heading South off the slip-road and turning right at the lights onto Klang worked fine, about the same as it was before they started all this except U-turners are accommodated with their own lane and turn. Heading back Northwards there was a bit of a mess as traffic exited the tunnel mixed with sliproad traffic and they tried to decide whether they were going to get onto the flyover to the motorway or stay on Sukhumvit. Thais don't do merging and filtering together very well as it is all about 'me'. Yes you would expect to have a good bit of Bangkok bound traffic on a Sunday afternoon, but it was a wet day and quiet in town. Might be a bit messy on a January holiday weekend. Traffic comes out of the tunnel quite fast to this delay. These two flows trying to cross each other is an issue. Early days....

Doesn't look dug up yet..... I saw the barriers Friday and guessed it was just part of the tunnel opening dog and pony show.

Wouldn't agree. Bangkok is a must do for a first time or relatively new tourist, plenty to do and see. Always used to spend 2-3 nights there when I came into Thailand in my early days, then later was travelling straight through to Pattaya. Even now, living in Pattaya, I like to go for a couple of nights in Bangkok, see the old haunts, have a night out. Variety, spice of life and all that.

Lovely, and a good amount of duck. Looks like you could give the Lengkee restaurant a run for their money.

Ancient history I think some drunk sextourist thought he saw one in the bay, There are dolphins on top of all the light posts going down Nua.

Well Sukhumvit , a km either side of Klang, About the North Star library to the Boxing stadium.

Like I did earlier that day.... no fun driving up Sukhumvit! I shall go through the junction on Sunday, not the tunnel! Hopefully I can get back to my routine of over 3 years ago. I did notice that some of the turns on Klang were blocked off near Suk. No sign yet of the cable burying job that is likely to create the next traffic jams.
