Bangkok, Dentist follow up visit

We succeed in getting to the dentist on time, using the train. Only to find that this to is very like the US, we wait and wait before they see us. The good news is they don't have to do as much for our teeth as the consultation indicated. I had my 6 fillings and was released.

We train back to Sukhumvit, the main street closest to our condo and walk around a bit locating the different places noted on our research and maps. We discover an area that we end up returning to every day, Soi 11 and 11.1. Nice people, easy to find stuff, internet, good coffee, great massages... We have our first Thai Massage. It is definitely a push-me, pull-you full participation process using stretching and pressure points, we like most of the bits.

We find this very hidden alley who's name we don't know and off of it are a dozen restaurants and a few bars, we have tapas for lunch and this is great, we will likely come back here again.
Good ambiance, food and pricing. We found an interesting Tapas book and some cool magazines here. We will need to find the distributor and sign up for subscriptions. One included a regular listing of the Sothebys wine auctions which could be a great way to accumulate good wines at a fair price...if there aren't other bidders for the same.

We even found a regular grocery store, Villa Market, and picked up some bread, cheese, coffee....We ended up in bed early and awoke refreshed to take on a new challenge!
