You should really pay a visit Jim. I've forgotten how many blocks I walked in this part of town but it seems like forever. Both side have food stool. This is Bangkok's China Town, food is very good and very affordable. I have gained weight but lost it from walking so much Lol.
Right you are Alan and quite safe. People are friendly and I never felt safe compare to other cities I have visited. This isn't the first time I have visited Thailand each time is a different experience.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
