   Tesco Lotus-Bangkok I'm staying around Sukhumvit area and I had to find an Exchange Centre so after checking Google I went to the nearest Mall. After few minutes of walking to where On Nut BTS Skytrain station is just outside I directly found Tesco. A branded one stop service centre to all customers and I was thankful that one of their banks has Western Union branch. It's such a classy mall with big Supermarket and Food court (the pictures define the place). See more..

   The Chedi that you see is the replica of the one that was washed down many years ago. During the low lide, you can see the old one in the middle of the river. Locals and Thai visitors come to worship the place jsut like many others. As a visitor who has nothing to relate to the place, just come by and read about this landmark. At night, the place around here is vibrant with street vendors (food) on and off the promanade. See more..

9. 3.5 Nong Khai - Thanaleng Shuttle Train (2 reviews)
   - Can’t miss it. It’s required.
   Public Transportation Systems
   
   
   No crossing of the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge would be complete without a stop at the Thanaleng Train Station. In fact, it’s mandatory. Here you will encounter fine socialist bureaucracy, a waiting room that has been closed for years, and a toilet. Bring a black or blue pen, and US dollars. Maybe toilet paper and soap, depending on your plans and how long you wish to stay. Make sure the money is crisp and new. Bills with tears or ink marks are summarily rejected. (The Lao money looks like it has lived under a bridge for a year, but yours must be new.) Thai Bhat are also accepted, but the exchange rate for USD is much better. (Thai money generally looks like it has been under a bridge and slept on by incontinent feral cats for a year. Good luck with that.) Passport photos are no longer needed. No need to rush for position in line. Locals use window 2. Foreigners use window 1. All passports and non-crumpled currency are collected and batch processed. Just get to know your fellow travelers and have fun with it. You will get a gorgeous full page visa in your passport, then are left to your own arrangements. Hopefully you did this ahead. There are goats. See more..
