Mrs W had an appointment in Bangkok so we all tagged along, except Sammie who spent the weekend with her Auntie Bee (they got locked in the bedroom for an hour but survived)
We stayed in a hotel called 41 Suite which is just off Soi 41 on Sukhumvit, near Phrong Phom BRS station. It’s a hotel we used a lot in the old days then Covid came and they were always fully booked but we took a chance and got our two rooms. The two receptionists remembered us and could hardly believe their eyes at Abi … she must have been two since we were last there, so an almost nine year old is different!! They’d not met Robbie at all!
So Mrs W came back and we set off for Harbourland although all I knew as we set off was that we were going to take a ride in the BTS!
I wanted to go to the Dasa bookshop and cafe and we did that: it’s a well organised second hand bookshop on Sukhumvit almost opposite Soi 41 and we got some good reading books for Abi.
Now, I’ve got a bag of books to carry as we went on three different BTS trains, including changing trains, getting of because it’s the wrong train … so it took a while to get to Harbourland but we did: it’s on the Gold Line … different types of trains to the BTS.
Harbourland is an adventure area with zip wires, slides, big padded pillows to build with, rope ladders. Keeping everyone busy for 90 minutes. Good fun and not expensive. We arrive around 7 pm so it wasn’t too busy either. Recommended.
