After a six hour bus journey on Monday, we got to Bangkok around early evening. Eve's friends have a got a cracking place - an enormous flat, a lady who has now done all of our washing and a swimming pool on the roof!
The Museum of Siam was interesting - not least the bit about Thai governments of the last 50 or so years. The general picture seems to be military coups and corruption. One interesting novelty was that, prior to the introduction of democracy, the king of the day decided to experiment with democracy in one city in his kingdom. He set up two parties. The experiment lasted 7 years.
We're off to Sydney tomorrow...
