Bangkok holiday day 1

Last night we returned home from our holiday in Bangkok in Thailand. The holiday lasted 6 days. It was very hot but fun, although the streets were busy and polluted.

On the first day we went to Jim Thompson's House. He was famous in Thailand because after the 2nd World War he moved to Thailand and he helped revive hand silk weaving.

His house was 6 Thai houses put together. It was made entirely out of wood, some of it was on stilts and inside were Thai and Asian paintings, sculptures and furniture.

The staff there made origami and they let me and my brothers pick some to keep.

I enjoyed going to Jim Thompson's House. I found it interesting and you should go there if you are in Bangkok and have time.
