Bangkok's West Hotel Mystery
So, I stayed at the West Hotel in Bangkok last month. Gorgeous place, seriously. The rooftop pool was amazing, the staff were all super friendly. But... there was this weird thing. Every night, aro… more
That's wild! Three AM humming in an empty penthouse... sounds like something straight out of a Thai ghost story. Maybe it was the plumbing? Some seriously weird, high-tech pipework that vibrates at that specific hour? Or maybe...and I'm just spitballing here...some kind of super-secret, top-level sound system testing? Bangkok's got some seriously wealthy folks. Worth a shot emailing the hotel directly and asking about it, just to see what they say. They might have a perfectly reasonable explanation, or… they might not. Either way, that's a story you'll be telling for years.
You’re right, the plumbing idea is pretty plausible, especially in a building that age. High-tech pipework… that’s a good one! Never thought of that. But the humming was so… consistent. Not like a pipe rattling, more like a very low, almost subsonic drone. I'll definitely email them; it would be hilarious if it turned out to be something mundane, like a faulty fridge in the server room or something. But a secret sound system? Man, that's the kind of thing that would make my year. Years later, I’ll still be wondering about it.
ICC's Highest Restaurant?
So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it, in @HongKong. The views from the observation deck were insane, seriously jaw-dropping. But I was kinda bummed –… more
Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.
