Evening time, we went to the famous Famous Curry Crab @ Somboon, Bangkok. The environment is like a chaotic food hall. Since just 2 of us, we just ordered 3 dishes.
Somboon’s signature dish. The Curry Sauce contained a lot of eggs and was really smooth and flavorful. According to CNNGO, Somboon is the Best crab curry in all of Asia. After dinner, go back hotel for some rest.
The last place for today was to Hollywood Award Bangkok. Hollywood locates on Rachadapisek Road soi 6 in the area of Ratchada. It is a Huge Thai Style nightclub with live music and dancers and standing room only with tables for patrons. Anywhere, we just told the Taxi Driver “Hollywood” and he replied confidently “ok”.
