Magic Food Court: On budget at Suvarnabhumi Airport

-
Food at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport has been generally expensive; breakfast could easily be higher than 300 Baht in the arrival and departure areas. The prices in the international zone were even higher.


For budget travelers, there was another choice, the Airport Street Food: Magic Food Court. The food court was located on the first floor, near the exit no. 8 which was at the far end of the terminal. The entrance was small and quite easy to be looked over. The place was operated as in a department store food court. Customers had to buy coupons which came in a book worth 100 Baht. The unused coupons had to be redeemed on the day.


There were selections of Thai street foods from many well-known vendors. I thought the taste was alright but not particularly impressed. The food was priced somewhat higher than street food stalls, but comparable to prices in shopping malls. The budget for a meal could be easily kept under 100 Baht.

Concerning the Pokemon GO, there was no Gym nor Pokestop on premise. However, there were enough strays to keep one busy. I encountered 5 Pokemon during my short breakfast.

It was said that Pokemon Go started as an April's Fool joke in 2013. The Google Maps' Pokemon Challenge YouTube clips was really impressive and imaginative by any measure. What a wonderful joke that became reality. It was said that Pokemon Go started as an April's Fool joke in 2013.

What a wonderful joke that became a reality. While the April Fool's Day was not a traditional Thai custom, Thais have been known to readily accept all sanook (fun) traditions as excuses for parties. I sometimes felt like reeling from one Thai/Western/Chinese festivals to another. Western New Year, Children Day, Valentine Day, Chinese New Year, Qingm

Tokyo Sweets: Signature Seal Pup Mochi

Japanese food has been trendy in Thailand. In some trendy shopping mall, there were more Japanese restaurants than Thai ones. A recent addition was a confectionery shop Tokyo Sweets. The menu included strawberry daifuku, mochi cream, mochiese, mizu suishyo mochi, and tiramisu. One of the signature sweet, Mochi Mochi (seal pup-shaped mochi), were so very cute and reminded me of the seel Pokemon. The skin colors indicated the filling - white for red beans, pale pink for raspberry or strawberry and pale lavender for sweet potatoes. There was a new chocolate bear which was similar to seals but had legs. These adorable seal pup mocha are well-accepted. When the shops were reviewed, there were inevitably video clips about the pup murdering methods, usually biting or clean cutting from the head or tail. For me, they were very popular as gifts and presents to children and ladies. There were Tokyo Sweet shops and counters in several department stores, e.g. Siam Paragon, Isetan

The Eight Hindu Gods of Ratchaprasong: Four Pokemon Gyms

Brahma Indra Vishnu This Narayana astride Garuda was one of the eight gods of Ratchaprasong, arguably the most holy intersection in central Bangkok due to the high density of Hindu gods. In Thai, the posture was called narai-song-suban; the gym label was a mistake as the focus was more on the god than the stead. This posture was also made into the bow of the newest royal barge that was completed in 1996. Narai Song Suban H.M. King Rama IX : National Museum of Royal Barges Listed in the Being Thai and page,
