Not original- ly listed among the port visits, a schedule change permitted the ship to visit this beau- tiful and exciting city. Even the four hour journey up and down the Chao Phya River was beautiful. Many serene temples could be seen as the busy life continued along the river. Once the ship moored, there was sightseeing, shopping, and relaxing on a massive scale. Bangkok, Thailand For the sightseers among the crew, Bang- kok was a test of their ability to see and do so much in such a short time. For the less ambitious sightseer, TIM fmeaning Thai- land-In-Miniaturej provided a sample of all aspects of Thai life. From the work of the powerful elephant transporting trees to the delicate and intricate movements of Thai dancing, TIM-Land' offered something for everyone. Certainly TIM-Land's most ex- citing demonstrations Were the Thai boxing, cock fighting, and sword duels. For the true sightseer, all day tours were arranged that covered the highlights of Bangkok's many historical and religious sites. This tour included a visit through the beautiful Buddhist temples in the Bang- kok area, a snake farm, and many more places of interest. At the end of this day, all anyone could do was collapse in exhaustion.

Bangkok was a jewelry shopper's delight. All varieties of precious and semi-precious stones were available at 'ridiculously low prices. Blue and black star sapphires, topaz, rubies, and many others tempted the wallets of THOMASON sailors. The Star of Thailand and Venus Jewelry seemed to take most of the crew's money, but each man did his business where he felt he had the best deal. Everyone came away satis- fied with their glittering gems mounted in rings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. The nightlife in Bangkok was excellent with many luxurious, American-style nightclubs, discotheques, and bars. There were even American women living in Bangkok for the truly patient and earnest sailor seeking companionship. Before the night could be enjoyed, everyman faced the battle of bartering for ataxi to take him downtown. Prices fluctuated with the number of peo- ple and the time of day. No matter, event- ually everyone got a ride towhere he felt the action was.
