Got up and had some (free!) breakfast. Talked with Pennie and Wiki for a bit, then headed to the Skytrain and over to the Jim Thompson House.
Jim Thompson was an American who started a Thai Silk Trading company and fell in love with Thailand. He was also an architect, and his house was of traditional Thai design, with a few modern touches. He had a number of interesting Thai relics, that were nice to see as well. It was the guide’s first day, and she did a great job, considering. That said, she was clearly going from a memorized script, so a hand held audioguide would have done the trick as well.
Wandered around the city for a bit, after that – then bought some dvds and envelopes, to burn some pictures to. Grabbed my pictures, then had the dvds burned.
I had planned on going to the Muay Thai match, but my interest faded as it got closer to the time. Hung out in the guesthouse, watched some of the Office with some Canadian girls who’d bought the bootleg dvds of season 3, then ran into Wiki and Pennie in the common room and chatted with them for a bit.
