Final Day in Bangkok

The worst part about holidays is that they come to an end all too soon. For our concerns about coming to Thailand in the beginning of the rainy season and possibly having our elephant experiences washed out, we have been blessed with incredible weather.

On our last visit we learned to use the Sky Train as a mode of transportation.  It's an elevated subway. It delivers us to Siam Paragon which has obviously changed a bit from our last visit. This is the 13th largest mall in the world. Take every extremely expensive shop in the world, add to it one of the most International quality food courts, an aquarium, IMax theater and convention center and you'd have quite the mall. 

We've come to have lunch and have an excellent lunch from a number of vendors.

The Sky Train delivers one to the lobby at the mezzanine level.  At the top of the escalator on the next floor one is met by the Rolls Royce dealer. Are you serious?  In a shopping mall? Walking farther one comes across the Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley and a bunch of other super high end car showrooms. There is a sound shop where turntables (we thought they were obsolete) sell for over $100,000 USD. Who shops at a place like this?

 

The Sky Train delivers us to a off the tourist path neighborhood. We're in search of a Jim Thomson outlet. After successful shopping we return to the hotel where dinner and final packing  for the trip home await.

CJ returns to the roof top deck to take daytime photos even though the staff is just beginning to open the facility.
