elgenon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 In the "good old days" we had to dodge elephants too. You're lucky. They poop a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanuman2547 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I'm a cyclist as well but I definitely don't like riding on the sidewalks/footpaths. I prefer to be out in the road where the traffic more or less is going the same direction. If someone were to ride on a sidewalk/footpath they should certainly slow down and give right of way to pedestrians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without using the pavement half way, you don't. The skywalk isn't continuous from Nana to Asoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you walk from Nana, you will need to dip down onto Sukhumvit and then back up near the Hyatt(?). Still a good walk (stroll) from Nana to Asoke if you then double back. We live soi 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would leaving earlier not solve that problem ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is indeed not far from Nana, the sky walk begins right at the old Chuvit Garden and goes to Asok. I think before long it will expand all the way 'to' Nana.

There is already a sky walk from the Hyatt Regency at Soi 13 that goes directly to Nana BTS but it is not connected to the Sofitel-Asoke sky walk. Don't think there's any room for another one!

Nothing personal, I just tend to react to posters' saying things that aren't strictly true, it could be useful to other members.
