For anyone who wonders about these things plane landed at 4:20 I walked out of customs at 5:20

We hope you don't mean plane landed at 4.20 am and you walked out of customs at 5.20 pm ?

Have fun in Bangkok

I went to the night market in search for banana pancakes but no luck.  Anyone with recommendations on where to find them.  Any way a called it a night and back to hotel and crashed hard.

Do you mean banana roti? I recommend Puy Roti Lady at

https://share.google/5qE8OBbF97kl0xpEu

She's quite famous and has done well for herself. She's currently building a new house back in her hometown. Her roti is unique in that it's flavoured with pandan which makes it fragrant and gives it a slightly green tinge. I like roti with egg and banana; the egg softens the roti on the inside and makes it crispy on the outside.

I have walked past this stall many times, without being aware that this is a celebrated roti venue! And I like Roti! In the evening there is usually a roti cart further down Saladaeng, which I have noticed.

On the opposite corner of Saladaeng, in this photo behind the motorbike taxi drivers, is a fantastic old world family run chinese noodle soup restaurant. It hasn't changed at all(not the menu nor the decoration) in the 25 years that I have been going there. The grandfather has now retired("been sent to rest in the countryside") but the grandmother and her children/grandchildren carry on. The site must be worth a fortune, but when asked whether they have considered selling, the grandmother replies that they had offers but she is not interested as "what would I do with my time and all that money". Her life is based on seeing people enjoying eating their food. She is happy as is.

I expect that when she retires the younger generations may feel that it is time to move on........

Best to avoid at lunchtimes as local office workers pour in to the limited space, and they close mid afternoon or when the day's noodles run out.

Would be grateful if you can provide a more precise address? Interested to check it out

Unfortunately I can provide neither name nor address! There are some chinese letters above the two entrances which mean nothing to me and I have never known the address and it doesn't appear on either Google or Apple maps. However it couldn't be more on the corner of Saladaeng and Silom, one small entrance on each perhaps. 

As fortunately it has never been discovered by influencers, let's keep it that way! Although when an occasional farang has wandered in, when I have been there, they have always been happy to assist. Mum's the word and the information is provided exclusively to gay thailand fora.

Amen to that! I recommended Puy above mainly because she has a strong social media presence and is easy to locate but I think there is a string of roti carts all along the very long Silom Road and all over Bangkok really and quite a few are operated by Rohingya refugees.

There is also a roti stand next to corner Surawong road / Soi Than Tawan, only in the later evening

also at times on Rama 4 between Silom and Suriwong,  

as for night market it was definitely one on my last trip in August as I remember feasting there on it with certain gentleman. Quite possible kram just overlooked it which is easy with all options crowding there. Roughly opposite where Madrid Tavern used to be - sign is still there I believe

 I tried tipping him and he took the baht but no eye contact… I decided not to off him

very smart decision . If they don't look interested it's better just to let it go as they may not be in the mood or simply not in the mood for us at the moment
