1. Forget Slowfest. This is the original Saturday slow-life market. 

2. There are some freaky people in the Malaysia Hotel. But the food is TOO DAMN GOOD to care.

3. When you have visitors over, you pray there won't be too many sexpats out on the street.

But there always are.

4. There was a time when you'd argue this was the best pizza in Bangkok.

Thank God times have changed!

5. The last place you want to end the night.

"Why don't we go to Wong's?" said no sober person. Ever.

6. Actually, we take that back.

7. Everything's just that little bit nicer (and more French) when you turn onto Yenakart.

8. Really? Is this all pedestrians are worth?

9. And just what's with all the tourists in that place anyway? Haven't they got better things to do?

10. Who needs gym membership when you've got this on your doorstep?

11. Businesses come in two types: tiny massage shop or old-school travel agent.

"Massage, sir!"

12. Don't queue behind Chinese tourists buying sim cards in 7-Eleven. Just don't.

13. Do queue for the Chinese food at Sun Moon. (Just don't look in the kitchen. And don't ask questions.)

14. It might not be much compared to Ekkamai, but it's all we've got!

15. There's an amazing place for beer. But if we told you where, we'd have to kill you.

16. Don't try walking to or from MRT Khlong Toey. It's just not worth it.

17. Taxi drivers don't know Soi Sribumphen. Or Issaya Siamese Club. But they do know this place...

"Ah, The BOOM!"

18. Soi Goethe. Cool name, bad shortcut.
