New York City Boyz

Our dearest friend Ed is back, and along came Andrew & Jeff. While Ed reclaimed his maiden's pad, A4, we put the fun pair in A6. In our own A5, there's Richard Adams, who just returned from a two-week adventure in Manila. So, what do these 4 boyz have in common?

Yep, the answer's in the title. The fab four are from New York City. The light jungle in the photo that is the public terrace of our apartments was where they gathered and contributed to banters after banters.

But three of them haven't seen Sex & The City The Movie yet. So, me the Bangkok Boy in their mist will have to have a plan for them this weekend.

Cheers,
Joe

Muuuusic Makes the People Come Together

As every Apt has a music system, let me shyly present our humble yet enjoyable collection of CDs here.

Most of what we have is club-driven which is just perfect for your indoor warm-up prior to a night out in this "naughty" city. In times of gathering at home, what we've got isn't bad for an entertaining purpose either.

Feel free to check out our stacks at Apt A5 and borrow what you like. No formality hassel here. Just tell us what you've picked.

Cheers,
Joe

Who Lives in Our Neighborhood?

Suanplu is a well-known Soi (or lane/alley.) One of the residences used to be that of a late Prime Minister of Thailand (now an interesting tourist attraction.)



We must say our neighborhood is very Thai, in a sense that it is a mixed bag where everything co-exists - baptist school, mid-price condo people, town-house folks, low-income earners, high-end condo dwellers, and us, ordinary people who hope tomorrow will be better.

If you wonder how this type of neighborhood is possible, we can only tell you that it does happen!

Building Photo

Ok, while waiting for an A2 photo, how about one showing the front of our building, Prasart Court?

We are taking Apt A2

That's right! Its tenant has moved out, and the building handymen are working on it now. However, the work will not stop there 'cause Randy will step in and make it better.

Timeframe for this improvement and redecoration should be about 4 to 6 weeks. Interestingly, our tenant, Paul, will not be waiting that long. He'll be moving in this coming Thursday (June 5) or so. That would mean he'll be coming home to see something new and nice in his apartment everyday.

We are thrilled about this. Two more units before we take the whole floor. Photos will be available later.

Cheers,

Randall & Joe

Introduction

Hi Everyone!

We're BangkokSong, one of the most unique vacation rentals in Bangkok.

First, we started w/ Apt A6 in December 2007. As overflow happened, we included our own apartment, A5, in the venture. Then, our good neighbor and friend Ed, a flight attendant, agreed it was a neat idea to rent out his apartment, A4, while he's away flying which is most of the time.

So, now BangkokSong has 3 apartments for rent. All is located on the 2nd floor of Prasart Court, Suanplu Soi 8, off the business and embassy road of Sathorn We have guests and stories from all over the world, and therefore, a lot to share w/ you guys. Good stuff, we promise.


Cheers,

Randall & Joe
