Heat Wave.

 Today started off overcast, but noticeably cooler, all though cooler is a somewhat of a relative term in Thailand ! So I went on a little walk through Chinatown after breakfast thinking about what I should do. Normally I like taking photos on my travels, but on days like these they tend not to come out too well. 




And on days like these Museums are the answer ! I chose Museum Siam (MRT Sanam Chai Station). The entrance fee was the princely sum of 100 Thai Baht. (You get roughly 39 to 41 Baht to the Pound.) I even got an audio guide, and it’s even interactive. (Opening drawers and watching TV screens)

Some porcelain.

A rather grand throne.

Headwear for traditional dancers.

My personal favourite is the Nang Kwak, a spirit from folklore who brings good fortune and prosperity.


When I left the sun had come out, and was now considerably warmer. More like an oven rather than a sauna, so I quickly found my way back to my hotel via the nearest 7-11 to buy some more bottled water.
