A little bit of culture!

A couple of days ago I thought I should take in a little bit of Thai culture, so having seen 'The Thailand Cultural Centre' as a stop on the underground what better than getting the underground to the station. On arrival I as a little surprised as the cultural centre is not only not linked to the station but there are few signs and few people who know where it is. After a hot 15 mins walk to where I had been told to go, I found something. In fact it is a complex of buildings, many administrative but a couple are exhibition halls and theatres. As I arrived so did groups of school children, what to see or do I will never know as noone was able to speak to me and tell me where to go! So my day of culture was a bit of a flop!


This is the centre and you can see all the kids sat on the ground beneath the trees.

Yesterday was also cultural but of another kind! I went to eh IMAX cinema in the Siam Centre in Bangkok to see the last Harry Potter movie in 3D. The 3D was fine but the glasses I had were not so good. Pity about the ending!! I was overawded by the size of the screen and the movie theatre in general.
