Monday 29th March
Incredibly this is the penultimate day of trip. Last night we enquired where the airport express bus stopped, found a likely contender and I waited for half an hour to confirm we had discovered the correct location.
This bus stop is very conveniently situated just a hundred yards from the hotel entrance, but half buried by kerbside stalls and completely unmarked as to which busses stop at it.
Went shopping this morning to the World Centre, the 2nd largest mall in Asia.
Stopped to watch Thai dancers at the Erewan Shrine. As successive supplicants pay money, the gamelan orchestra plays and the blank faced dancers arise and sway in full traditional costume as prayers are said in front of the shrine to Brahma.
It has been a street corner of spirituality since 1956 when the shrine was inaugurated to appease evil spirits which had previously dogged the progress of building the Hyatt Hotel.
Back to the hotel to grab our favourite seats for tomorrows flight via internet check-in, then back shopping.
Returned late afternoon for a swim and a beer. Plan to revisit the restaurant at Siam Square for our final Thai supper.
