RCA - is very far from the MRT stations, and is much much nearer
to Param 9/Thai cultural Center stations.
Ratchadaphisek station is already near to Lat
Phrao - very far away from RCA
==============
Rachada is short for Thanon ("Thanon" is "road"
in Thai, "Soi" is "lane") Ratchadaphisek
===============
Don't go to Pat Pong, if you want to visit a-go-go bars, go to Soi
Cowboy (Soi 23, Sukhumvit, between BTS (skytrain) stations Asoke
and Phrom Phong or Nana Plaza (Soi 4, Sukhumvit, BTS (skytrain)
station Nana.)
But to get to Pat Pong, you stop at MRT Silom station or
BTS Sala Daeng (interchange at Siam station, change to BTS line
going towards Saphan Thaksin Station, if you are on the Sukhumvit
line)
==================
Yes the bars close early since Thaksin came to power and that is
why he had to be kicked out - he was becoming like LKY,
intolerable)
==================
Chinatown is not "near" Yaowarat
Road... Yaowarat
Road and trhe surrounding roads make up
Chinatown
==================
To watch football, you should go to Gulliver's Tavern,
Sukhumvit Soi 5 Sukhumvit, BTS (skytrain) station
Nana.) It is about 5 minutes walk, on the right from the BTS
station along Soi 5
==================
as for sightseeing, there is a solid gold Buddha at the temple
just outside the main Chinatown area...
