Frankly this was a real dissapointment. The software for sale was boring (Apart from Windows 2006 which I would love to get my hands on). The music on sale was OK, but at B100, or $4 a CD it was not great value. Of course sometimes you could get the MP3&#8217;s for the same price. The going rate for DVD-R movies is B200, or $8 which is also not great. Everyone wanted me to buy their copied DVD software and music&#8230; Why would someone think that I would be interested on the fifth floor if I had not purchased anything from the floors below? And the collection of stuff is mostly all the same. <\/p>\n<p>Then back to the hotel for a rest. A well needed one!<\/p>\n<p>After a rest I went out again to Siam Square. I grabbed another photo showing the scale of the Sky Train&#8230;<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bk7-300x199.jpg?resize=300%2C199\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I decided to check out the Hard Rock Cafe&#8230; This was good, but being by myself was a bit moring. The music was cool though, with Don McLean&#8217;s American Pie playing when I first went in there. I just grabbed a Creamin Soda. Delicious. Finding it was a bit hard &#8211; I managed to walk past it a few times without recognising it. I must have looked lost as a local asked where I was looking for and pointed me in the right general direction. <br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bk8-242x300.jpg?resize=242%2C300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Near the Hard Rock Cafe in Siam Square there are a heap of free WiFi zones where you can use your PDA or Laptop and connect to the Internet. The one below is across the road from the Toyota Cafe. <br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bk9-300x212.jpg?resize=300%2C212\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then I went and found &#8216;Flaming Moes&#8217; which is a bar I heard of. I grabbed a Coke there, but let us just say that this was not the most happening place in the world. They call it &#8216;The Place Where Nobody Knows Your Name&#8217;, and I must say that I grabbed a drink only to say I had been there. The place was only slightly larger than my hotel room, and looked like it might be in the middle of an area I would describe as a red light district. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bk10-300x247.jpg?resize=300%2C247\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am generally surprised at how few whites there are in the city, for a place that is so much of a tourism mecca&#8230; Anyway I had better get going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, Then I found the Pantip Plaza which is a huge IT mall.
