Day 2 in Bangkok

Woke early and whether it be from the aircon, Si seemed to have a sore throat but nothing too severe thankfully.   

Later on that morning we met up with Dag and headed down town to a massage place run by the blind/partially sighted.  We just had an hour session to get a taster but I think we might go back for a two hour session tomorrow as it was so good & ridiculously cheap :-D    ..Anyway, check Si out in his massage gear ;-D


On leaving the massage palour we took a leisurely stroll, taking in all the smells, sights  & chaos around whilst feeling on top of the world and then just by chance noticed rows of restuarants advertising  Shark Fin  ...then on closer inspection their window displays were just fins in all shapes & sizes.  We all found this pretty disgusting and upsetting.


Now lets move onto shopping, Bangkok is brilliant!!  ...you can buy everything and anything dirt cheap if you've got the time and energy to bargain the day away.   So far we've bought tshirts, a phone (as i couldnt unlock my prototype) & a couple Thai sim cards.  Si's been for a haircut and we've drank quite a few Singha :-)



Tonight we off for a good veggie meal, a few beers and perhaps some more shopping

In the first pic, Simon looks like he's on a morgue table!

Of course, I don't mean that in a horrible way, he just looks wierd! ;)

Forgot to ask - re the 'Massage Parlour'...out of interest - how much were extras?

I had the same though... Looks like I was ready for an autopsy!

No "Happy Endings" were offered as this was a reputable establishment..!
