I woke up at 11am and as soon as 12am I was in the public bus to Mo Chit ... Public bus is quite an experience here but it is a lot better than one can imagine : Air Conditioning, not that many people (at least i could sit both ways), a little bit slow (about 1 hour to get to Bangkok) but I had time today and with a book and ipod it is more than fine) but first of all it is 21 Bt for 35 km!! I think those buses should be used as a definition for the word "cheap" ;)
I first went to visit Jim Thomson's House in central Bangkok. Jim Thomson was an American guy who came to Thailand after the second world war and decided to stay there and beginn to build a huge collection of thai and chinese objects. I don't really know why he is so famous but his collection is nice! I would have enjoyed if i wouldn't have taken the visit in French ... I ended up with an awfull french man (40/50 years old) and his prostitute (20 years old) and the guy kept saying "oh my god it is marvelous", which is always strange because you wonder if you should tell him to shut up or to ignore him or to accept to beginn a discussion with this complete disgusting stranger, as it is clearly what he is looking for ... don't worry I choose to ignore him :D He kept asking stupid questions, just as if he knew about thai art when it was obvious he didn't :( The worse is that i really think he was trying to sound clever... The only funny thing happened when he told me "oh I was there last year and the most beautiful thing here is this little statute of buddha overthere" and then the guide looked at me and said "it is not a bouddha, it is a monk !" hihi
Then Chatuchak Market !! Just great, my new addiction :D H&M in 10 times cheaper and a lot more choice ..
The way back was fun, 20cm of water all along the road .. I don't know if you can see from the picture, but definitely the road system here is a big joke lol
