Hi there. So I read your tags on an other post and thought I would give you challenge.

What were your 10 (or really how many you want) favourite locations in 2023 QLs? Can be places or buildings, or both. Your choice. Rose💜

@nothingsbetterthancoffee thank you for enabling on the clown website!! Did you have any favourite locations in this year's QLs?

I referred to MDL and so I've only included shows that started in 2023 and to keep this under Tumblr's maximum of 30 images, so I didn't include all screenshots for shared locations!

Anyway, these are my favourite QL locations from 2023:

1. Chong Nonsi Canal Park (Bed Friend, Chains of Heart and The Promise) (location) Shout out to @winnythanawin (aka @aprilblossomgirl) for our discussions about parks lol

2. The timber mill (Chains of Heart) I love wide angle and maximalist shots, so this location has been stuck in my mind.

3. Thai Muslim Women Foundation School (My Dear Gangster Oppa, Y-Destiny, Return Man, 55:15 Never Too Late, Midnight Motel, Never Let Me Go and My Only 12%) (location) I love that the building has specific motifs that are seen in other Islamic architecture. But also, an excessive number of chandeliers is always fun to me. (There are also far too many shared locations, so I picked only a few screenshots).

4. Chakngeaw Chinese Market (Moonlight Chicken) (location) Maybe it's the lanterns and the colours in the scenes, but I loved this location!

5. Como Metropolian Bangkok (Step by Step and Middleman's Love) (location) I described this as a Pride & Prejudice moment once. LOOK AT THE HUGE WINDOWS. That is all, lol

6. 13 Coins Tower Ngamwongwan (Playboyy and 3 Will Be Free) (location) I cannot explain how the slightly dead and uninhabited vibes of this hotel appeal to me but here we are 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷

7. The houses (I Feel You Linger in the Air) (location, location) These details are *everything*. I'm especially a fan of the windows and stained glass!

8. Factopia (Pit Babe) (location) One thing about me is that I am chaotic. Look at this studio that's being used as a home. I love it lol

9. These two temples (Cherry Magic Thailand) (locations) The boat is selling the whole idea for me, though I've been told that there isn't actually a boat operating in these canals anymore, but let me imagine it!

10. Chao Phraya Sky Park (Last Twilight and Low Frequency Pilot Trailer) (location to come) I have actually been waiting to see this bridge/park used and was so excited to see it in Low Frequency's pilot trailer, though it didn't make it to the show. THEN Last Twilight showed up for me. Thank you to the location manager of the show.

11. Tokyo Tower (Shigatsu no Tokyo wa... / Tokyo in April is...) Please ignore how bad Ren looks in the screenshot. I don't care that only the base of my favourite tower can be seen. I'm taking it!!!

12. Whatever this building is (Pit Babe) I mean, I AM CURIOUS about it but haven't found the location. Maybe that's why I'm obsessing a little. Just let me find the location and I will get over it. Probably.

+ BONUS 13. Ikea Sukhumvit (Cherry Magic Thailand) I'm just kidding about this one, but I did google to see where it was @callipigio

Tagging @blmpff, @callipigio, @dribs-and-drabbles, @telomeke because we discuss locations, or at least I make you listen to me talk about them. I'd love to know if you had any favourites/ones that I forgot to add to the list!

If anyone else has their favourite locations, I'd love to know!

Also including these collections of locations, because why not: Troye Sivan's Got Me Started and its shared locations in Thai queer media

If I were in Bangkok, I might want to... in response to @lurkingshan's ask about my favourite locations

Watched the first episode of Bed Friend:

Ordinary salary man indeed. I note that this is a case of Everybody's Rich. Not that it bothers me terribly, but I prefer home sets that look inhabited and not like the hotel suites they actually are with five extra knick-knacks strewn about

Oh, it's the Hit Bite Love teacher. Will try not to auto-loathe but he's testing me.

Weak enemies to lovers. WEAK. I just don't buy that you get this pissed off by so little, Uea

Oh fuck, the kid who plays little Uea is good. Ow ow ow. Had to take a break to cuddle the cat. Uea's mum will be a real treat, won't she, but I predict/hope for a reasonably satisfying showdown scene eventually.

Window cleaner commercial is never wrong. Steamy pretty scene

King apparently lives at the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, at least one of the guests there took a photo of the view that looks a lot like one of the views from King's place (is this relevant to you, @colourme-feral ?). I think it's Ashton Morph 38 that's the Ashton building in the view, at least. I'm seriously not fond of hotel rooms starring as condos

All in all I'm not entirely convinced, but the acting isn't half bad and Net and James are quite appealing,

BAD BUDDY FILMING LOCATIONS 9

This post is a continuation of my eight previous ones on filming locations for Bad Buddy (linked here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7 and Part 8 ), and focuses on one building in particular.

I had originally believed that this location would be quickly found because its appearance in Bad Buddy was so full of distinctive visual details, especially external ones that are particularly helpful in tracking down filming venues.

But it turned out to be another one of those places that was almost impossible to find, and it overturned all my expectations and eluded discovery at every turn. 😮

Of course, I'm talking about the LogTech Building.

(above) Ep.3 [3I4] 13.14

Oh the hubris and the comeuppance! It took me more than nine months, three-quarters of a year, before I could find it. And I think this was only possible because Google Search is getting ever more powerful (ominous music sounding here).

But after months of searching I can now say with certainty that the role of Bad Buddy's LogTech Building was played by Index Creative Village – homebase for the creative agency of the same name – and not only was it the setting for LogTech, another Bad Buddy location also had its home there (but more on that later). 😊

(top) The location of Index Creative Village on plan; (bottom) this image of Index Creative Village's secondary entrance is extracted from a photo on Google Maps by effe relax channel and is dated September 2022 – the bare concrete columns, window framing, potted plants and timber-louvered sunshading are all matching details that can be seen in Bad Buddy

Index Creative Village is known for being an events organizing company in Thailand, but in reality the group engages in all sorts of creative pursuits, including media consulting, communications, multimedia/stage/exhibition design and branding services.

Index's address on their website is 545 Soi Pridi Bhanomyong 42, Sukhumvit 71 Road, Klongton Nuea, Wattana, Bangkok 10110, but Google Maps shows them along Phanit Anan Yeak 12 Alley instead. 🤷‍♂️ Whichever it is, their map coordinates are 13.73303648651331, 100.60230473624077, not far from the Jasmine 59 Hotel that was the location for Pat's post-graduation apartment (write-up linked here).

(top) Ep.3 [2/4] 4.04 – note the signboard circled in red; (bottom) in this image from an online article (dated 18 April 2013 and linked here), the signboard and white roller blinds of Index Creative Village's on-site café are a match, while the Epipremnum aureum climbing the flanking trees is also a corroborating detail

(top) Ep.3 [2/4] 4.14; (bottom) this statue of a big cat at Index Creative Village (from the same article linked here) matches what we see behind the LogTech receptionist

(top) Ep.3 [2/4] 6.17; (bottom) this screencap at timestamp 2.51 of YouTube video "Index Creative Village มุ่งจัดอีเวนท์แบบไฮบริด ผสมเทคโนโลยีกับชีวิตจริง | Digital Life | SPRiNG" (linked here) shows the meeting room at Index Creative Village and is a match for the Ep.3 [2/4] scene of Pat and Pran presenting the bus stop design to LogTech (corroborating details are the matching chairs, table, curtains and silver column to the left of the projector screen)

(top) Ep.3 [2/4] 6.19, showing LogTech's boss and executives evaluating PatPran's bus stop design; (bottom) this screencap at timestamp 1.53 of the same YouTube video mentioned above (linked here) is also a match – the timber-slatted wall treatment and chairs are the same (the gentleman conducting the meeting is Index Creative Village's founder and CEO Khun Kreingkrai Kanjanapokin)

(above left) LogTech's mermaid and dolphin water feature appear in Bad Buddy at Ep.3 [3I4] 13.14; (above right) Index Creative Village's mermaid and dolphin can be seen in this image extracted from a photo on the company's Facebook dated 6 March 2017 (linked here) – the mermaid must have acquired her sunburn sometime between 2017 and Bad Buddy's filming in 2021

(above left) Ep.3 [3I4] 14.02; (above right) the logo and text that we see behind Pat are the branding for Anya Meditec, which is also located at Index Creative Village

(top left) Ep.3 [3I4] 13.41; (top right) Ep.12 [1I4] 6.11; (bottom) this image dated 5 March 2020 is extracted from a photo on Index Creative Village's Facebook (linked here) and shows their brick feature wall with the word "INDEX" spelt in relief, which is what we see behind behind Pran and Wai in their scenes outside the LogTech Building

(top) Ep.12 [1I4] 5.19; (bottom) Index Creative Village launched a disinfection service (Kill & Klean) at the start of the COVID pandemic – in this photo dated 22 April 2020 from Facebook (linked here) the red 'K' on the monitor (part of the Kill & Klean logo) can also be seen on the disinfection system (targeting footwear and lower legs) behind Pat at Ep.12 [1I4] 5.19, while the giant taro plant (Alocasia macrorrhizos, I think) in its dragon urn at the left of the image also matches what we see to Pat's left

There are many, many other corroborating images for LogTech – too many to post here, but you can view them on Google Maps as well as Index Creative Village's Facebook and Instagram.

But that's not all. Index Creative Village was also the setting for one more location – and that was Pran's architectural office in Singapore. 👍

(above) Ep.12 [1I4] 5.07

There are a number of visual details in the screencap above that reveal more information about its filming location:

The window framing behind Pran is all vertical.

Outside the window we can see another wing of the building with the same vertical window treatment (and it matches the glass wall design that we see at Ep.3 [3I4] 13.14) – what we can deduce is that the building is somewhat U-shaped here, enclosing a kind of courtyard.

There is some type of green planting in the courtyard (either a tree or some very tall bushes) – just visible through the legs of Pran's table.

To the right of Pran, the top portion of what looks like a curved or spiral staircase can be seen beyond the window.

Above the staircase, we can see the geometric segments of a membrane canopy.

At the top left of the image, we can see a structural beam connecting the two wings of the building at the roofline.

The following images of Index Creative Village contain corroborating details:

(top left) This aerial view of Index Creative Village from Google Maps shows its courtyard with a membrane canopy, highlighted by the dotted red circle; (top right) this close-up of the spiral staircase in the courtyard is from a photo dated 16 June 2017 on the company's Facebook, linked here; (bottom) this screencap from YouTube video "คอลัมน์ Marketing 3.0 ตอน Content vs Contact" at timestamp 0.01 (linked here) shows Index Creative Village CEO Khun Kreingkrai Kanjanapokin descending the spiral staircase with the courtyard tree, vertical window framing and connecting structural beam all visible behind him

Another view of Index Creative Village can be seen from the elevated Chalong Rat Expressway to the east:

(above left) Index Creative Village's east façade as at September 2022, viewed from Chalong Rat Expressway using Google Maps Street View; (above right) this close-up (unavoidably grainy though) shows the mid-level courtyard with its two-and-a-half story tall tree, spiral staircase on the left and fabric canopy partially hidden behind the framing red beam that connects one wing to the other at the roofline

One thing that the filming at Index Creative Village shows is that the production team tried as much as possible to shoot all related scenes within the location chosen as their setting – both the internal and external LogTech scenes were filmed at Index Creative Village.

We saw this also at the Jindapat and Siridechawat houses (with the inside and outside of Mason Studio used for indoor and outdoor scenes at Pat and Pran's family homes; see this write-up linked here), as well as at Pat's faculty (write-up linked here) and most of Pran's faculty (write-up linked here). The high school scenes were also all shot at the Satit Bilingual School.

There are only two composited locales that I can recall. The first is the scene where Pat goes to pass a thumb drive to Pran (Ep.5 [1I4], starting from timestamp 6.39 – the faculty location morphs from the RSU College of Engineering to the RSU Student Center at timestamp 7.35 even though it's all supposed to be taking place at the same building). The second is Uncle Tong's Zero Waste Village in episodes 6 and 11, although that made-up location was nevertheless all filmed within the seaside district of Hua Hin (write-up linked here).

This emphasis on maintaining consistent IRL locations for set locales would have greatly aided the actors in staying within the correct frame of mind for the narrative, and would also have minimized jarring continuity errors (e.g., in wardrobe and hair length).

These issues would have been harder to manage had they filmed exterior scenes outside one building and interior scenes inside another one or in a man-made set (which GMMTV doesn't seem to do for whatever reason – primarily to avoid set construction costs, I would assume).

Not something you'd often think about, but it's one of the things you realize when you look more closely at the filming locations. In my opinion, not filming in artificial sets (no matter how well designed and constructed they may be) certainly adds to the authenticity of the overall visual experience. 👍 Just one more reason why I love Bad Buddy!

[Afterpost Edit – here are the links to all the filming location posts:

Part 1 – The legendary rooftop, PatPran’s student apartments, their high school, the white arches behind the Engineering Canteen, the Zero Waste Village and various seaside scenes, their honeymoon suite, the hospital where Pat was treated for his gunshot graze, and the high school reunion.

Part 2 – Pat and Pran’s family homes, the Flagpole Bar, the car park fight location, and the Jae Si Curry House.

Part 3 – Various locations at and around the rugby field, including Pat’s photoshoot with Ink, the rugby bleachers, the iced milk tea (and green tea wave) picnic table, InkPa’s photography picnic, the old bus stop and the new bus stop. Also Khun Noppharnach’s pharmacy.

Part 4 – Pat’s Engineering Faculty (in and around Rangsit University’s College of Engineering).

Part 5 – Pran’s Architecture Faculty (Rangsity University’s School of Architecture).

Part 6 – Various F&B and commercial locations (eateries, shops, malls and a market). Also the setting for Pat, Pran and Wai's fight at the base of PatPran's student apartment building, as well as the scene where Pa says to Ink "Anyone taller than me is fine".

Part 7 – Pat’s post-graduation apartment and Pran’s residence in Singapore.

Part 8 – Various campus locations filmed within Rangsit University’s Digital Multimedia Complex, including the auditorium and the Freshy Day Song Contest.

Part 9 – The LogTech Building and Pran’s architectural office in Singapore.

Part 10 – Locations for the Our Skyy 2 x Bad Buddy special episodes.

Part 11 – The apartment for rent that Pran went to view in Ep.2, the elevator scene with Pat just after the viewing, and Wai’s apartment.

Part 12 – PatPran’s elementary and high schools, as well as the location of Pa’s near-drowning.

Part 13 – Random locations (Pran searching for his lost earphones, the covered car park where Wai spied on Pat serenading Pran with Nanon's Love Score, the airport car park, the SouthTech U Library, PatPran's rainy day ointment interlude, their motorbike and truck rides in Hua Hin, the approach road to Uncle Yod's bar, the filming location for the music videos Just Friend? and Our Song, and Pran's street address in Singapore).

Will update this list if I can track down the hardware stores – the one remaining location still unidentified! 🤣]

Trip to Bangkok, September 2024 - Day 2: Hair of the dog, Craft beer and Gin bar

I like gin, but I also like beer. After visiting two bars in Iron Balls, I went to Hair of the dog, a craft beer bar that I stop by every time I visit Bangkok.

ジンも好きだけど、やっぱりビールも好き。 Iron Ballsの2つのバーをハシゴした次は、バンコクに行くたびに寄っているクラフトビールバー「Hair of the dog」へ。

👉🇹🇭 バンコク旅（#Bangkok2024September）はこちら

◾️Hair of the Dog Craft Beer and Gin Experience Phrom Phong

📍593 27 Sukhumvit Rd, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110 タイ

こちら、毎回バンコクに行くたびに行っている最高のビアバー、「Hair of the dog」！

1Fはビアバー、2Fには隠れ家的な小さなジンバーがあります。

まずは1Fのビアバーでビールを。20本くらい並んでいるタップのうち、タイのブルワリーのものは3本くらいだったかな。「比較的軽めのがいいなあ」とリクエストしてこちらをいただきます。

🍺 THAI STICK: New England IPA, 6.8% ABV / Baan Bangkok

ダンクでトロピカルな、良いHazy IPAでした。

缶・ボトル販売の冷蔵庫も。比較的地元の人が来るビアバーなので、ラインナップのほとんどは海外系。Mikkellerとか、BEHEMOSとかが多かったかな。

1杯ビールいただいてから、2Fのジンバーに移動。

2Fというより中2階かな、可愛いスペース♡ 写真で見るより暗めだし、ほとんど店員さんはいないので、カップルできたらムード満点でしょう。

こちらでも、せっかくなのでタイのものをいただきます。

スーパーで見かけて気になっていた「SANEHA GIN」！

少しスパイスっぽさがあるけど比較的クセはないジン。トロピカルなニュアンスがあるのは、使っているボタニカルのパイナップル由来のものなのかな？バニラとかクローブは強くなくて飲みやすい！

ソファ席に移動してまったり。まったり...これは溶けて沈んでいくわ...

変わらずカジュアルでいいバーでした。

本当はこの後にジンのラインナップが豊富なルーフトップバー「ABar Rooftop」にもいきたかったけど、流石に3軒行くと気持ちよく酔っ払いだったので、本日はこれで終了。よく飲みました。

【2024年9月バンコクの旅】・Day 1 └ 東京〜ソウル： air premia プレミアムエコノミー └ ソウル〜バンコク： air premia エコノミー └ แตงโม Watermelon └ <HOTEL> Hotel Ordinary Bangkok ・Day 2 └ Baiyoke Tower II └ ゴーアンカオマンガイプラトゥーナム（ピンクのカオマンガイ） └ クワンヘン・ガイトーン・プラトゥナーム（緑のカオマンガイ） └ <HOTEL> Akara Hotel Bangkok └ Iron Balls Distillery & Bar └ Iron Balls - The Parlour └ Hair of the Dog Craft Beer and Gin Experience Phrom Phong 👈THIS ・Day 3 └ ワット・アルン（暁の寺） └ ワット・ポー（涅槃寺） └ YOLO Craft Beer Bar ・Shopping in Bangkok ・Day 4

Bangkok's Best Restaurants: Where to Eat for an Unforgettable Experience

Bangkok, the vibrant capital of Thailand, is renowned for its rich culinary scene that tantalizes the taste buds of locals and tourists alike. From bustling street food stalls to elegant fine dining establishments, the city offers a diverse array of dining options that cater to all palates and budgets. If you're looking to indulge in the best restaurants in Bangkok, you're in for a delightful journey. This guide will take you through some of the top dining spots in the city, ensuring an unforgettable culinary experience.

Discovering Bangkok's Culinary Landscape

Bangkok's food scene is a captivating blend of traditional Thai flavors and innovative international cuisine. The city's culinary landscape is marked by its street food culture, offering everything from spicy som tam (papaya salad) to savory pad thai. However, for those seeking a more refined dining experience, Bangkok boasts a range of upscale restaurants that showcase the best of Thai and international cuisine.

The Allure of Street Food

Before diving into the finer dining experiences, it's essential to acknowledge Bangkok's street food, often regarded as some of the best restaurants in Bangkok. Vendors line the streets, offering a plethora of mouthwatering dishes at affordable prices.

Yaowarat Road: Famous for its vibrant street food scene, this bustling area in Chinatown is a must-visit. Here, you can sample dishes like crispy pork belly, dim sum, and the iconic mango sticky rice.

Sukhumvit Soi 38: Another hotspot for street food lovers, this soi features a variety of vendors selling everything from grilled satay to sweet coconut pancakes.

Top Fine Dining Experiences in Bangkok

While street food is an integral part of the city's food culture, Bangkok also boasts several fine dining establishments that elevate Thai cuisine to new heights. Here are some of the best restaurants in Bangkok that promise an unforgettable dining experience:
