After lunch we wandered about trying to find this coffee shop that the boys knew of, but alas we didn't manage to find it: actually it was really nice just walking about the market stalls, looking at all the bits people were selling (mostly crap and / or stolen, I suspect) and finally making our way to Jim Thompson’s House (for more culture), some coffee and then the Skytrain to Siam to Madame Tussauds (not sure if that counts as culture, but it was fun).I am not sure why they had Princess Diana still; don’t they know she’s dead?
We decide to head Chinatown in the evening for some fantastic seafood: I did think that when Adrian said we were going for fantastic seafood, I thought it was in a sit down restaurant – well at least indoors – err, no, it was on the corner of two main roads in Chinatown and, after queuing in the madness of Bangkok’s Chinatown, we were seated on a long table outside, next to a couple of very sweet Vietnamese girls. Completely hectic, completely delicious food and just a real experience of a city that is completely fantastic.
