As a small addition to the list below:1. Telephone Poles: All telephone poles are made of concrete. Big concrete obelisks. Can't log here, so there are no...logs. I think it adds to the industrial look of the city.
2. Milkshakes: In my deprivation of proper dessert food, I have searched low and high (mostly, low, I suppose) for a correct milkshake. One made with ice cream and of adequate viscosity. There are none to be found. Even the places that boast "ice cream milk shakes" do not make them properly. I think their first problem is that they use ice in their shakes, and the second is that they don't use ice cream. I may be wrong. Either way, they are tasty, but not the super sweet overload that I'm looking for. The quest continues.
3. Western Food: I think it's funny that many of the restaurants boast "Western" or "American" food to the tourist clientèle. Not that I haven't preyed upon some of this mediocre, imitation American food, but it seems that they should advertise "Traditional Thai Food with English Menu", because that's what I would be more interested in. I can get American food all day long in America! Give me some dang Thai food, and make it good!
I had more, I think of them throughout the day, but I have forgotten. I suppose most of these things relate to service and restaurants. I guess I notice that because I spend most of my time at these places, or trying to find them.

I'm shocked you found a place that even *claimed* ice cream milkshakes. Best I ever got was Nesquick milkshakes. Which was nice in that it reminded me of being ~5 again. But not a milkshake by any decent standards. Half the time you're lucky if they have chocolate ice cream at the grocery store (or vanilla, they are "exotic" flavors).
