Bangkok



In Bangkok we spend the day and evening with our friend Som Deaw from Fang and his friends from Bangkok. Pokky on the right spoke with Ben several times on the phone to practice his English. His wife Eaw on the left with their daughter Fa. Lovely people!










On of the highlights of this trip was the German Brewery. As you see on the photo it is a massive place where you eat, chat and watch live shows the entire night! We were so impressed with the shows,,, it was just as good as Cirque Du Soleil!!!! but than there was more variety like rock bands, theater, drama, Thai dancing and much more...
Go there if you get the change! We were the only farangs in the crowd of easy 3000 people!






















During our week in Bangkok we also met Yai and Jim. Normally we only see them when they visit Fang so it was a nice surprise! We had a delicious Italian meal together and went to a night market so the girls could have a look around. Jim and Ben took it easy on a terrace.








AJ friend Jeab in her travel agency near Khaosan Road. She made a really nice shop, very clean and well organised!
We went together on a cruise over the river at night time. A great way of getting introduced to Bangkok with a safe distance from all the cars and craziness.

I liked Bangkok more than expected. Unfortunately I came down with sinuses and my longs were sick too... The pollution is so bad! But you can get anti biotic over the counter in Fang so I was well soon enough.

Wat een boeiende wereld. Die kennen wij alleen van National Geographic tv. Spannend om daar in levende lijve doorheen te lopen. Wat een verrijking om daar kennis met de cultuur te maken.
Ik gun jullie nog veel trips en bedankt voor de mooie foto's en het uitgebreide verslag. SUPER!!!
