Another lovely day in paradise with Kran. Martin loves her more for every day. She is so dedicated to Martin because he is such a wonderful teacher to her.

	To the left, Kran's red dress that Martin bought for her. The entrance of the Centera Beach hotel where Martin and Kran stayed for 7 days.
	At the Siam bank, opening an account is a lengthy business. TTT (Things Take Time). Time for a snack. What could be better than dried pork and beef meet quickly grilled?
	Here is the dried meat you can by at any street corner. The owner of Paddy's Pub, Maureen ready to meet her boyfriend.
	The street cook and Kran. Lovely food at bargain prices. Time to visit some exclusive resorts. Only 8500 baths a night (some € 200,-).
	More exclusive, 18 000 bath a night or € 430,-. Which idiot would pay these prices? Kran outside the Norwegian Seamen Church in Pattaya.
	Over to the pool Martin will be staying in during November 2010. It is the Whispering Palms at Thappraya Road, Jomtien, Pattaya. Tel. no. is +66 38 250 058 9. Martin paid 19 000 baths or the whole of November. Good value for money. The lovely business woman running the Whispering Palms, Mayuree Issarapayup. Contact her if you want to stay and Martin if you want a reference after November 2010.
	TK, the nicest Thai man Martin ever met in Thailand. Kran with her dinner, king prawns from the sea.
	Big squid, not for dinner. The fish restaurant in the Walking Street of Pattaya next to the sea.
	The tourist police does a splendid job sorting out problems with stupid tourists. Well done fellas ! Kran spent a day on the sea, during half of it, it was raining and still she got a tan as can be seen here on here white bum. Lovely.

The next day, Friday July 30^th, it was time for visiting the Alcazar LadyBoy or katoey show.

Kathoey or katoey (Thai: กะเทย, IPA: [kaʔtʰɤːj]) is a male-to-female transgender person or an effeminate gay male in Thailand. Related phrases include sao (or phuying) praphet song (Thai: สาวประเภทสอง,"a second kind of woman"), or phet thi sam (Thai: เพศที่สาม, "third sex"). The word kathoey is thought to be of Khmer origin^[1] (the equivalent Khmer word is "kteuy").^[2] It is most often rendered as ladyboy in English conversation with Thais and this latter expression has become popular across South East Asia except in the Philippines where the term bakla^[3] is often used.
