Bangkok Adventures (Part IV) is the last edition to the Bangkok 2013 series and is a fairly short entry since we only spent a quarter of our last day in Bangkok before heading home. We explored Bangkok’s Madame Tussaud’s and did a little last minute shopping at Naraya.
Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities around the world. It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud. Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and infamous murderers.
This was my first visit to a Madame Tussauds Museum and it made me intrigued to know more about the other Madame Tussauds around the globe particularly the one in London. Maybe I should add it to the Bucket List.
Naraya
The last stop before heading home was to Bangkok’s very own Naraya, a big name back home in Singapore for their quality cloth bags and accessories, to get some pretty souvenirs for friends.
The name Naraya comes from the Hindu god Phra Narai, who is more commonly known as Vishnu – the supreme god of Hinduism. The name was chosen for its auspicious meaning as well as for the simplicity of pronunciation across speakers of many different languages.

On our way to the airport, spotted a tuk-tuk broken down at the side of the road and by-standers helping to fix it. A sight that you’ll rarely see in Singapore.
I had a lot of fun in Bangkok with my best friends Zizi and Nas, I’m glad we did this. It really is an amazing city with so much to see and experience, very delicious food, a shopper’s haven, the history and happening nightlife. Its everything you’ll want for a vacation. I love you Bangkok, will definitely come back for you again. But first, let me experience what the rest of the world has for me *wink. Till the next journey, xoxo.
