Final days here in Thailand for this year. Enjoyable, I must say. Lunch at Icon Siam.

interesting concoction of Udon noodles, ground chicken sauce and shrimp.

This last building I’ve posted before but nonetheless a very interesting building. The Sathorn Unique Tower. The most interesting unfinished building in Bangkok know locally as the “ghost” tower. 47 storeys, 600 units, 80% complete, location of the horror film THE PROMISE and the location of a suicide. Empty since 1997.

Thanks Thailand … see you next year!
