Last days in Bangkok
We had a fantastic trip! We made it home safely on 18 January. We spent our last days in Bangkok shopping and looking around town. In front of one of the new shopping centres is a beautiful Erawan shrine, where locals come to give offerings and can make a donation which funds the performance of traditional Thai dancers and musicians.
We also went to Jim Thompson's House. He developed the Thai silk trade after WWII. His house was really beautiful, traditional Thai style with lovely gardens.

Many thanks with your good story. If i have a chance to visit in Bangkok again , i will go to Grand Palace and looking for the hotel around Kaosarn Road. I think that Kaosarn Road is good for young travellers. Around the street, there are a number of old buildings and temples, some of which have been transformed into restaurants and even tattoo parlours, although you will still find quiet family homes if you look deep enough. Aside from some interesting architecture, Banglampoo shows the mix of peoples and heritages that is the character of Bangkok. There are Muslims, Buddhists, Mons, and of course a great number of foreigners in this small area. All of this makes the area an interesting place for a glimpse of Thai life. Thais also appreciate the area for the many types of traditional kanom or Thai snacks and desserts available and the cheap clothing available in the Banglampoo Market
