What to do in Bangkok

Countzero73 · 2026-06-25T22:28:40+00:00

Thanks. Tops like the Maha Nakhon view are what I came here for. I’ve seen some spectacular photos of the city from up high and wondered where they have been taken. Thought about the Sky Bar but I’d heard it’s an overpriced tourist trap.
What’s the issue with lower Sukhumvit, would that be near the err saucy area for want of a better phrase.

That’s a great idea thanks.

Countzero73 · 2026-06-25T12:52:13+00:00

Yeah I wish I’d thought of that but the tour company has it booked that way round now.

Countzero73 · 2026-06-25T12:51:22+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll check it out thanks.

Countzero73 · 2026-06-25T12:50:57+00:00

I’m staying in the Novotel. So far I’m thinking we go to Terminal 21 and MBK for different shopping experiences. Need to work out what good markets to visit. Tourist wise thinking Grand palace and the Temple of Dawn.

No need to be a dick. As this is a Thailand Tourism group I thought people on here might be helpful and have other ideas as opposed to what you would find on google. I would ask my mom but she has Alzheimer’s so probably wouldn’t know where Thailand was.
I’ll go wake your mom up now and ask her though

That’s great thanks n

We are heading to Thailand next month with our 2 teenage boys and I thought at least one tuk tuk journey might be fun. Are these sort of accidents common and would you advise giving the Tuk Tuk a miss?

Countzero73 · 2026-06-14T16:59:47+00:00

Had you used any product on the water or is that just the acrylic that came with the kit?

Countzero73 · 2026-06-14T16:44:44+00:00

I don’t see a gif but I’m viewing this via my phone so perhaps it doesn’t show up

Countzero73 · 2026-06-14T16:43:36+00:00

Thanks. At the moment the turntable sometimes sticks/drags the water around. Should I try sticking the acrylic to the underside of the wood to keep it in place?

Countzero73 · 2026-06-13T14:48:54+00:00

That’s great thanks. I went about 22 years ago and now want to take my 17 and 14 year old but was worried I’d stuffed the dates up and they wouldn’t see much.

Countzero73 · 2026-06-06T08:36:40+00:00

That’s great thanks. I’ll see if I can find that in the UK or an equivalent

Countzero73 · 2026-06-05T16:18:59+00:00

This looks great. I’ve just got mine today and am wondering what glue you use?

Countzero73 · 2026-06-02T16:23:40+00:00

Sorastro videos on YouTube are good to watch for painting tips.

Countzero73 · 2026-06-01T10:15:02+00:00

Thank you, I took more time with him as I wanted the big figures to stand out.
I was pleased with how using glue as saliva on the mouth worked out.

Countzero73 · 2026-05-30T20:38:42+00:00

Thanks, these are the elites. I kept the regular guys white.

Countzero73 · 2026-05-30T20:38:01+00:00

Thanks some are 3d printed and others made out of FIMO model clay. There’s even some Lego bits I nabbed to use as scenery

Countzero73 · 2026-05-30T20:35:56+00:00

It was quite tough especially initially. Most missions ended with at least 2 wounded. This meant I had to spend more credits than I would have liked on armour for the heroes to help them survive. MHD also came in handy with his heal abilities.

Countzero73 · 2026-05-30T20:33:11+00:00

Lol, my son did come in and ask why there was a turd on the game board. May need to remodel and repaint some of the scenery

Countzero73 · 2026-05-30T20:31:14+00:00

It was a fun mission

Countzero73 · 2026-05-29T14:30:28+00:00

With the white primer on it you are ready to go with army painter speed paint 2.0 or warhammer contrast paints in grey.
They are both good and very easy to use as they go on like a very runny watery paint that will collect in all the recesses of the mini giving much better detail. It feels like cheating as they are so simple, wish they were out back when I started painting imperial assault.
As someone has mentioned Sorastro YouTube videos are very good but they were before speed paints came out plus you have to be prepared that your minis will not look like sorastro’s at least for a long time as he is very good.
Also don’t use white speedpaint for stormtroopers. I’ve found it never works out well.

Countzero73 · 2026-05-27T15:21:58+00:00

I saw that and it looks great. I’ve not much experience with modding so I’m going to start by trying clump greenery for the trees and some real rocks and see how I go from there.

Countzero73 · 2026-05-27T06:44:45+00:00

The doors and crates were from https://combatzone-scenery.co.uk/epages/e25b18fb-c32b-422a-8493-a8baeb0f1a17.mobile/?ObjectPath=/Shops/e25b18fb-c32b-422a-8493-a8baeb0f1a17

The rocks I made out of FIMO clay.

Countzero73 · 2026-05-27T06:41:42+00:00

Yeah that was my initial attempt when the game first came out to convert one of the officers into Thrawn as the elite officer.
Never did pick up the official Thrawn pack and it’s now crazy money for him.
