Bayioke & Beyond

Yeah well I heard a rumor that the Thai's like their shopping, and you would believe it if you saw the size and number of shopping centres around Bangkok! I think that I am "almost" shopped out! Yesterday we went to Pantip Plaza which is an IT nerd's haven. Today I left the anchors (boys) behind and explored on my own, carefully following detailed instructions which I had kindly provided by a recent visitor. Lets just say I have enough socks, shirts and earrings to last a lifetime! I have just about everything that I need (want) except for some classy handbags, so watch this space.
Last night, we went up to the Observation Level of the Baiyoke Sky Tower (Tallest building in Thailand!), to see the view. The current population of Bangers is 7 million and I can believe it with the number of buildings which span to (past??) the horizon. During the day Bangkok is the smokiest and dirtiest city I have ever visited (ok, I haven't really been to that many places) but by night it is ... bewdiful! The photos don't really do it justice ....
