Summing it all up.

 		Off to Nongyao's house to pick up Kran's swimming goggles, to her factory and then off to Pattaya and SilverSand hotel. Not much sand there though. SilverSand is situated in Jomtien, South of Pattaya. The Norwegian Seamen Church is also situated here.
  
To the left, Kran is ready for the early morning swim at the 24th floor of the hotel.

On the 23rd floor, we get our towels for the pool.
Kran is ready for her dip.

Martin enjoying his swim.
The it was off to Nongyao's house, some two hours drive.

In Nongyao's kitchen where Kran is finding her swimming goggles at last.
Nongyao's living room with the look to the street.

Then another hour's drive across town to Kran's factory where she gets her stuff sown.
Martin gave Kanya, Kran's friend a shirt from CNN in the US.

Kran has rented a semidetached house for 4000 baths or US $ 125,- a month. Not much of a standard. Martin couldn't live there.
Kanya's corner shop. This is a very nice and quiet residential are in the North-Eastern suburb of Bangkok.

Kanya and Kran outside Kanya's shop.
Martin having a quiet beer in a wooden hammock across the street for Kanya's shop. Nice hot day in Bangkok.

On the road to Pattaya, Martin spotted this 4-wheeler.
After another 3 hours, we arrived at the SilverSand hotel. In total, we used 6,5 hours from our hotel in Bangkok to the SilverSand hotel in Jomtien.

First place to check out is the pool. A nice, 25 meters long pool that we will use every morning.
  The street vendors had some amazing bananas.

An old acquaintance that we ran into on our trips around town.
Martin and Kran in their party shirts.

Pork knuckles look much more tasty than they really are. Martin had some. German food outside Germany is not a hit.
But it was a nice, big open restaurant next to  the street.  

The next day, Tuesday April 5th, it was Kran's birthday that we celebrated at the SilverSand hotel and in the evening we went to the Thai Alangkarn Theater, attending “The Thai Extravaganza Show”.
