Your videos are excellent, love the history and depth of your research. Your 2 videos on the Sathorn area brought back fond memories, seeing my 1980s home at Diamond Tower and (after a 5 year gap in Hong Kong) my 1990s home at Palm Courtt (now Siri Sathorn), as well as the old BNH where my kids were born and the many old houses that used to line Sathorn. Left Bangkok in 1997, for many subsequent foreign assignments, but still return 3 or so times a year (but always stay riverside now).

This is absolutely one of my favourite areas in BKK. I have always been drawn to. It started years ago when I use to stay in Sathorn Saint View (which has a cemetery right next door) and was dating a woman who lived in the area. I love using the outdoor gym in Lumpini. I've stayed at the Marvin Suites numerous times. I've had mates who have worked at BCC. I've enjoyed NYE at the Ascot. I've done. cooking school at the Blue Elephant. I love taking the BTS to Siam Square then on to Mo Chit. I've had wild nights out in Patpong and the Joint United States Military Advisory Group (JUSMAG) in Soi one. I've had an afternoon beer at the Mansion/W hotel (it has BKKs nicest bathroom). I've attended Thai Language school on Silom Road. I've taken the boat many times from Sapin Taksin. I still catch up with mates for a beer when I'm in the area at Shenanigans. These days, I stay a little more upmarket at Le D'Tel on my way to or returning from extended stays in Hua Hin.

I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Two small comments. Earlier on you showed the storefront of Kai New Zealand. I have never been myself however know people who have been, some many times. The reports (first hand and online), while the food is good the end invoice is an eye watering (read expensive) affair. As far as Saint Louis Hospital is concerned, since their renovation, their prices are in line with Bumrungrad. I think all the private hospitals as well as Siriraj have gotten onto the fact they can milk customers by taking BP and weight, often without a nurse present (the BP machine prints out the result). So money for nothing. Some charge up to 400 baht.

I used to own a shoe shop at the MahanNakorn building and so I would often find myself hanging around ChongNoni area, All the businesses were waiting for things to really take off when that building opened but it never really improved the soi's around it, a lot of us thought it would become a world-class area, I think its because of the King Power/ Pace Development mess, the powers that be know there is failure at the heart of that build and so it will never be iconic

There's an overpriced mall that customers are forced to walk through when coming back down from the Mahanakhon tower, and of course being King Power things are more expensive than they are in other places. I doubt they cared about making the area take off
