One week after arrival we moved into our new home. Didn't think Phyllis would be able to "hang in there" due to all the walking that we did. Even though public transportation is plentiful, there are still 47 steps up to the first level of the Skytrain platform which is the ticketing level, then another 42 steps up the 2nd level where you actually catch the train. Repeat this again when
you arrive at the station that you are going. This was done on a repeated basis numerous times a day, and add to that all the walking down various streets and small "sois" which are sub-streets. But...she hung in there and we were fortunate by the end of the fourth day we had located a one bedroom condo in a new low-rise 8 story building within walking distance of the BTS Skytrain. We met with the owner, signed a 1 year lease, and moved in on Saturday July 12th. You do a lot of walking in Bangkok and it doesn't take long to understand why there are so many massage, and foot massage parlors everywhere! The pictures are Phyllis on the steps up to the Skytrain , one from the platform looking back at our condo buildings, and a couple of interior shots.
