Thailand

Back in Bangkok for our first chance to explore the city. The morning was spent visiting the top attraction - shopping malls. Followed by a trip to Jim Thompson's house, who was the man who first bought Thai silk to the USA, making a lot of money, and possibly working for the CIA before mysteriously disappearing in the Cameron highlands, Malaysia. He bought a lot of beautiful artifacts, pictures and statues to fill his Bangkok house which is now a museum. The house was originally 6 different teak houses which he combined into one. We stopped by the Erawan shrine and watched the dancers before heading to Lumphini park, which is apparently where everyone goes after work for their exercise. Finished the day at the trendy Artbox market.Read more
