Jim Thompsons house
A house belonging to Jim Thompson. So here we are, in an internet cafe writing our second entry... You are probably wondering, what have they done now?
After our last entry we headed straight to Jim Thomsons house. Jim Thomson was an American who built a house, thats about as much as we got from the tour. Personally I disliked the man.
A little chill-out and then later we headed down to Khao san road despite the tuk- tuk drivers warning us off in favour of "ping- pong show, you want ping- pong show yeah". We declined (for a day). Khoa san is a backpackers road; buzzing with travellers.
Next day we went to the Grand Palace which was visually stunning. We then got conned big style by the cheating tuk- tuks into visting a travel agent whch we were told was the tourist info office.
China town served up a tasty treat and we moved on to a thai boxing match where Mark managed to scoop a few wins on the betting (not boxing). We tagged on with some Americans here and watched some locals doing some very fancy tricks with ping pong balls. nice.
This pm we travel by bus
