Last Night in Bangkok:

So Mana had hired someone to drive the car back from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. Unfortunately he got stopped by the police for not bringing his ID card etc. So, minutes after getting off the plane in Bangkok, Mana had to leave to go fetch his car.... He did not return until midnight. So very long day for him! I went back to the dentist, got my teeth finished and wandered around a couple of large shopping malls, one of them has a theme of airports, Terminal 21 they call it, each floor is a city, like Rome or Tokyo, and all the staff wear airline uniforms... A little weird in my book, but they had good ice cream.
Early to bed tonight, too much heat, too tired....
Next day, last day, we went to a weird restaurant called cabbages and condoms.... Yes, you read it right... Strange thing is, it's a chain, with good food for Falang (white people) and it promotes safe sex. Everyone at the table gets a condom when paying the bill - and there's various pieces of art on display... Odd art! Then a stroll through the jewel exporters on Silom Road and a trip to the Erawan Shrine, where a huge elephant statue contains heaven an hell, and lets you climb right inside and look out from its belly... What fun! I cannot do things like that from a height, terrifying!
A Thai massage followed - and not a kinky one I will add. It was at a little place in Mana's neighbourhood, they wer walking on his back at one point, and she wasn't light, so I am thinking he is into massage.
The final dinner, before running off to the airport was eating outside on a klong near the airport, so low the airplanes rumble right over head for their last 2km to the tarmac - we played a game guessing which each airline was on arrival.. :)
And that was the end of the green tropics, next stop is the dry, dry desert of Cairo...
