To the left, a barely awake Orchid this wonderful morning of April. To the right, a hardly awake Orchid.
	Happy breakfast couple at the Sky Bar. A satisfied Orchid.
	Thoughtful Orchid. Ready for the day.
	Beautiful Thai woman at the Sky bar at the 26th floor. Compliments of the General Manager, Jacques of the Ambassador hotel in Bangkok. Some of the fancy chairs in the Ambassador.
	Cheeky Orchid trying on a bikini bottom.   This is the bikini she finally bought after a lot of convincing. But it was a hard sell.
	The guard at the taxi rank outside the hotel.     After a lot of convincing, finally Orchid got her bikini on under her robe. And with the courtesy hotel shoes to go as well.
	Cheeky Orchid. What a lovely women. Orchid and Martin fooling around in the hotel room before going to the pool area.
	All the conference rooms in the hotel are aptly called Orchid 1-5. The tower wing of the Ambassador hotel.
After some convincing, Orchid got on her bikini and played with some children in the pool. The were relatives of a Swede living in Thailand.
	Martin enjoying a tan while at the poolside. After a long swim an play in the pool, Orchid is on her way out of the water.
	Orchid is worried about her blobby midriff, and rightly so. Martin and his shirt from Goa.
	Maurice and his nephew and two nieces. More of the same. He lives in Khon Kaen, an university cit North in Thailand.
	Lovely kids. Another nephew of Maurice, a Swedish building contractor established in Thailand.
	Orchid loves kids and seen here with the nieces of Maurice. One day she will have her own kids.
	Orchid and Martin in their Goan shirts. A salesman not too good at his job.
	Shoe shop. Martin needed some shoes to walk in. These slippers seen here are no good for walking.
	Back again with the Sky Train. Taking a cab in Bangkok is a waste of time and money. At night, after some jazz, it was time for some food in an old fashioned restaurant across the street for the hotel.
	Fish being parted up and eaten by chop sticks. Martin discussion music with the local bar pianist.
	Music ordered really touched Martin. He loved it. A perfect end of a perfect day.

The next day, Friday April 3^rd, it was time for a visit to the Norwegian embassy to get Tukta's visa worked out.
