Dolores in Bangkok

We arrived this morning in Bangkok, Thailand in a driving downpour. While sitting on the plane waiting to begin our next adventure I started thinking about the things I like best about Thailand.

I decided while we're here for the next six days I would focus on my three favorite things of the day and my favorite purchase for the shop that day.... so here goes:

October 13, 2009

I love the hot neon pink taxicabs, with matching interior... I just wonder how those tough taxi drivers feel about driving a "Barbie" car! By the way they drive on the opposite side of the street.

We always stay at the coolest hotel, Triple Two Silom. I love the lemongrass essential oil defusers they have in the hallways. After a hot sweaty day of shopping it's such a pleasure to walk down the hall to our room with this refreshing frangrance in the air.

I have never in all my life seen so many beautiful gemstones! We found this shop today and couldn't believe the selection of Labrodite, Smoky Topaz, Citrine, Amethyst and a new one for me Green Amethyst. These natural gemstones are God's gift to us. Now if I can just get home and start making jewelry from what I bought.

This is my favorite purchase of the day.

Sterling bracelet with gold vermeil enhancement. They only had two!
