Great account, Death_at_midnight! Looks like you really had fun here in Thailand.
Speaking of Durian, Southeast Asians have always described it as "smells like hell but tastes like heaven". (Try the dried Durian chips next time--available too in supermarkets--tasty but without that smell, hehe!)

Greetings!

The dried durian sounds interesting. I was tempted to buy a mooncake at S&P that had durian in it, but ended up getting another. One of the taxi cabs had sticker on a window that had little warning images.. like a silhouette of a person or object with a line through. Something like "no smoking, no eating, ..." etc, and "no durian".

I need to start watching the prices for another trip there. Would like to go for a December/ January trip... something around New Years.

Yeah, that one from S&P is tasty (and not smelly). Try it next time.
And believe it or not, there's also a durian-flavored ice cream here.

Is there a Greyhound Cafe at Siam Paragon?
