Night one was last Saturday night. Some friends and I went out to a longstanding music bar in Bangkok called saxophone, specializing in jazz, blues, etc. The were having an important anniversary (some multiple of 5, I reckon) and therefore had a packed line-up of some of their favorite acts throughout the night. One of our friends runs a restaurant just down the street and frequents the place, so we had one of the best tables in the house reserved for us. We heard some folk in the form of a Thai Neil Young look-alike, some really impressive blues (although I kinda wish they wrote their own Thai blues songs (i.e., "Sticky Rice Blues")), and the most popular guy of the night, a jazz group with a singer/saxophonist who sometimes strays into Kenny G territory but nonetheless makes the ladeez go wild.
Night 2 was just a lonely weekday night this week in which I needed some dinner. Down Soi 11 there are a ton of restaurants/bars and action on the street at night. So, I chose a place that I had heard or read recommended a couple of times, an old wood house with outdoor seating and a view of things passing by on the street. The dinner was great, most spicy Isaan food, and I snapped a few pictures during and after dinner. Fun fact: when you use the panorama app on moving scenes, you create ghosts and half-objects. Whee!
