we are going out have only a very little time in Bangkok so I'm gonna try and
maximize it and this afternoon evening is already quite late my plan is to find
a place to see a good sunset over the city now I've picked the Sofitel So
Sofitel so hotel which apparently has looks over look at view over the park
and the thing from its sky bar so I've had a dress mmm a little more than I
would normally because these posh hotels they don't just let anybody in and go
and see the view so I'm gonna probably buy an expensive drink but hopefully get
you a great view so let's go and discover some of Bangkok
next one okay thank you
okay
evening looking to go to the Sofitel
sorry I know you don't know you go the Sofitel so hotel
???? I can
do the BTS yeah yes a little that will be okay yeah think of any
other taxi now this one okay okay thank you much and then take them yeah
thank you I was gonna get a taxi ride all the way to the hotel but the traffic
is so bad the driver said well how about I take you to the BTS which is a much
shorter journey and then you take it from there and you won't get stuck in
the traffic so that is what we're gonna do
got a ticket find my way now the BTS goes to quite a
few stations but of course the one I want to go to isn't on the BTS line so I
have to take the BTS until it crosses take the metro line
the station I want that one wish me luck okay me gusta machine you find where you want
to go I want to go there number 48 then press 48 on there put the money in
and get your ticket and then you're through here
made it too Sumwit off one line onto the mts from the BTS token and I've got
to try and get in this trade just for a couple of stations to lumpini of some I
think two stations down
so if there's a big closeup focus there or 20 people but out I can get in
that they shouldn't make it up again it's nice and cool in here please mind
the gap between three
food a bright idea was this to take the stairs
okay have to get back on the train because I was one station wrong whoops
back on the train same trained in Africa downstairs all the platforms this time
thank goodness or do I hang on platform hi
so I wasn't concentrating I just got down one station - Wow some of the play
okay my train yeah it's looking busy I think
mr. trainer for Hunter removal will be removed for me here Oh
I have plenty people coming off should leave plenty people who knew me to get
on there we go and now try and go from the right station
eventually go up at the race station now I think I'm walking in the right
direction so a very tall building over there we're
hoping get some nice views over the city and sunset and a quiet drink
first mate first away
okay
across the big Junction for the station how to get into this place still
technically walking on the road but I think I'm in the right place now this
building has got on a corner left on the right which way is your Ekans away in
because whichever I'm gonna go
probably gonna go the wrong way
okay I'm gonna kiss
this way
this should be in here it is indeed the Sofitel good news
what's the right place you can tell by the expensive cars and they open the
door for me a bigger thank you very much oh okay now that is find twenty nights
I'm sure how we get to the very top like 29th Florence said so yeah I hope I get
up to the start the top top always 29th left and left again thank you okay left
and left again okay Wow it's a nice hotel even dressed up on amazing they
let me in yeah left again okay take a lift up to 9th so lift up to
okay so we're trying to get to 29th floor
and looks funkeeeyy okay good evening excuse it possible to go upstairs
okay it is nice view and nobody you up here because it's closed off just a
gentle ask and why yes I said up you go made it 29 floors up top of
the soffit to the hotel I have I feel neat bar at my disposal
the entire upper deck off the barn moment completely empty I can pick my
seat and have a look at this lovely view it's not exactly clear today but look at
that good view of the city that's the Lumpini Park up now if I'm
saying that correctly and that's a station I got off on eventually
now we're fine nice spot set up and take some photographs
and then if you can see me or hear me it's a bit dark up here understandings
of light and the beads it's quite loud but one of the things that you must do
in Bangkok at some point is find a nice high vantage point - dive bar like the
live band tonight go and watch the sunset and the city lighting up at night
I've come to the where so Sofitel hotel which you've got this beautiful view and
a nice bar downstairs and upstairs guide by the upstairs sky bar doesn't open
till 7:00 but they let me in so I mean up here taking a photograph before it
opens very nice I'm now gonna go downstairs and have a drink
