I've been back in Bangkok now for 2 days, yesterday I caught the Sky Train to National Stadium and visited Jim Thompson's House. Jim Thompson was part of the CIA but lived in Thailand after the Second World War. He single handedly revived the Thai Silk industry to make it what it is today, and he amassed a wonderful collection of South East Asian art during his life here. His House is now a museum for South East Asian art and has a workshop with lovely Thai silk, I was tempted to buy a scarf but it was so expensive. 
Later on I went to MBK and had a manicure, pedicure and facial for AUD $40, so cheap!!! Today I'm just taking it easy at my hotel, The Atlanta, as I have my flight to Helsinki tomorrow morning and I have run out of money...damn that hospital visit for breaking my Thailand budget!
