Another day of shopping - such a tough life!

(inside MBK - it is 6 stories tall inside)

Yes, as we said in the title, that is ALL we have done today (in addition to watching a movie IN the mall...)

We got to the hotel around 12:15am this morning - our plane was delayed an hour, and then the taxi driver got lost, and it was the last night of celebration for the King's birthday, clogging up all the roads - it was very frustrating!

After going out for dinner, we got back to bed around 2am. Waking up at 8:30, we got ready for the day, ate breakfast, and made a trip to the tailors for a fitting. Everything seemed to going well, so we told him to make a few alterations and we would come by around 7pm for another fitting.

We then left to go to the big mall in Bangkok, MBK. We caught a taxi driver who had a rigged meter, costing us about double what it should have to get there. Once there we started scouring the mall for jeans for Lindsay, shoes for both of us, and anything else we fancied. We came back with a few nice things, albeit they are all knock-offs and not the highest of quality.

After shopping for 4 hours we got tired, and went to a movie - "Couple's Retreat". It was OK, but it was neat being in their VIP theatre - everyone gets their own recliner, drinks, and blankets - such fun!

We had about 2 more hours of shopping once the movie was over until we needed to catch a taxi back to the tailor. We arrived about 7:30, quickly tried on our clothes, and had them mark out a few more alterations we wanted. Everything SEEMS to look quite nice, although we make no claims to the quality of fabric or sewing job that was done - we will simply hope for the best! We both look forward to getting home and going out on a hot date together and wearing our new duds.

Well, tonight is our last sleep in Thailand, so we must be off down Kaoh San Road for one last shopping spree!

Cheers!
