Thinking back to the last few days of my trip around SE Asia I was gifted with heat and sunshine in Bangkok, there were showers too to be fair. This is third time I've been to Bangkok so I didn't feel the need to see all the sights as I'd basically been there, seen that and got the t-shirt. I did however feel the need to fill every possible nook and cranny of my luggage with additional shopping.
Of course a visit to the MBK centre was necessary but sadly the night market is no more so I made up for it by having repeated visits to Terminal 21, possibly the coolest shopping mall in the world. Every floor is a different city from around the world and the designers have gone all out, on the London level they've used double decker buses and tube trains to hold small boutique shops and there's a smaller version of the Golden Gate Bridge up on the top level that is a popular photo spot. There's also a cinema there where I went to see Prometheus, primarily to enjoy Idris Elba of course. I was caught out at the start when the entire audience had to stand in honour on the King whilst a film of him shown doing various Kingly things like walking around, getting off a plane and waving. Can't imagine that taking off here at the multiplex.
