    Bangkok day 2

    14. marts 2024, Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    Busy busy day, saw gold Buddha, went on a tuk tuk. Visited Jim Thompson's house - an American dude coined 'The Silk King' as he revived Thailand's silk industry in the 50/60's. His house was traditionally Thai with lots of western influences, very beautiful and cool to look round.
    In his garden he had a Thai spirit house. When new houses are built, people build a small house to rehome the spirits of the land, as to not make them angry. The house cannot fall within the shadow of the main house and offerings of incense and flowers are given. Pretty cool.
    Calypso cabaret show was so fun and camp. They had big musical numbers and lipsyncs to songs by Taylor Swift to Judy Garland. Very fun.    Læs mere
