Leaving the Bangkok sights to my sister's last two weeks in Thailand, we made our way to Jim Thompson's House.
Jim Thompson was an American businessman who helped revitalize the Thai silk industry in the 1950s and 1960s -- Wikipedia
The now-Museum was where Jim Thompson lived during his years in Thailand- made up of 6 traditional Thai teak wood houses along the canal, nowadays you forget you're in modern day Bangkok!
Jim Thompson disappeared in the Malaysian jungle. He was 61.

Afterwards, we got our pop culture on.
I was unawares there was a Hard Rock Cafe in Bangkok. My sister was keen on going and I'm glad we did because I satiated a veggie burger craving dating back to the beginning of this year.
And boy, was it good.
And since we were in the neighbourhood...
Madame Tussaud's totes happened.
But I'll save those for tomorrow!

Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI've never ever been to Madame Tussaud's in my life. There's one in my city, but I've only seen the "people" in the window;)

Thanks!
DeleteYeah, it's actually a lot of fun. Some wax figures look like the real deal and others not so much :)
