Bangkok IV

Today is our last day here in Bangkok...I will have to go back to Nagasaki tonight and Paul will continue on to Pnom Penh, Cambodia, for another two and a half weeks of work. Dislike going back but then again...it's an experience, right!!!
We do spend a lot of time here at the pool and the interesting thing is that it's a city pool and by that I mean that it is situated on the 6th floor and that when you're swimming in it or just lounging that you see the huge buildings and hear the sounds of the street...I love it.
One of things you must do while in Thailand is to experience a massage. Thai massage is a pressure point massage. They will use their knuckles, knees and elbows to put pressure on the muscle nodes in your body. A full body massage will take about an hour and even though it may be hurtfull at times you will come out totally refreshed afterwards. It will cost you around 250 baht plus tip..according how well it went. And yes there are also sleazy massage parlours where they will do everything possible to guarantee a "Happy Ending"...if you catch my drift. But then again that is not the massage you should opt for.
Have no idea what we're going to do today but it will be fun. The temperature dopped from 32 degrees to a much coller 24 degrees last night.....apparently they have a cold (relatively of course) period here as well for about a month and then the temperature will go up again.
One of the great thing about Bangkok apart from the shopping experience is the variety of food on offer. Restaurants and foodstalls everywhere and it costs really little. A good Thai curry will set you back a mere 90 Baht (2 Euro) in a upscale restaurant that is. In a foodstall it will cost you 25 Baht. And there is an over abundance of choice from all over the world The major Shopping Malls have food courts where you can just about eat everything...fab Sushi, Ceasar salads and Malay Laksa and again for next to nothing. For those of you who have never ventured here...please come and visit (a stopover on the way to Phuket or other seaside resort)...because you will love it.
