I realize that many sex tourists head straight for Asia’s largest brothel as soon as they arrive, but there are some who lurk in the Silom area, and for them I have a word of warning - don’t. In this case don’t go to the Dean & Deluca branch that opened below Saldaeng BTS a few months ago. The HQ on Naratiwas adjacent to Chong Nonsi BTS is good quality if somewhat over-priced. The Saladaeng branch is just over-priced. The quality was ok for the first few weeks but has declined markedly ever since. It was next to deserted at lunchtime yesterday and understandably so. Even the Thais who think anything western is fabulous have abandoned it
