Summing it all up.

They arrived on the worst possible day of the year, traffic wise. It was the last day of Songkran (สงกรานต์), the traditional Thai New Year water festival which starts on April 13 every year.
  
This morning was one of the few during our stay. Usually, April is very hot. This year it was not, even though the temperature reached 36 at its highest.

Rainy city.

Wet veranda with the water dripping off the rails.

Kran and Martin having a rather misty breakfast on the veranda on the 12th floor.

Rubbish bins in yellow are very well recognized.

Kran shopping.

Looking for beers.

Looking surprised.

This last day of Songkran (สงกรานต์), the traditional Thai New Year water festival, is hopeless. Everyone and everything get splashed with water and white flour.

Some of the splashers from the back of a pick-up truck. And they were many.

More splashers in action.

After picking up Pawika and Weena, it was time to go back to the condo. Stern Pawika doesn't know what to think.

The sisters, Weena 31 and Kran 43 in the condo's kitchen.

Ready to go for a swim. Weena is wearing a swim suit used 100 years ago in Europe and the USA:

Pawika enjoying a swim.

All 3 in the pool. Weena cannot swim and Kran tries to teach her how to. Hard task.

In the evening we went to the favorite Korean barbeque restaurant, Seyshuon. But they had a horrible music. Nice girl with no English knowledge.

The starting point of the evening, a clean cooking pot.

Martin and Kran in their evening shirts.

Martin proudly showing off the empty cooking pot. Basically, it turned out to be a lovely, self-made fish soup.

The bare, red coals left that is given to the next customer.

The restaurant was full, and the fruit disappeared very fast. Here is the fruit that never was when Martin tried. The music was horrible. Listen !  

The next day, Wednesday April 20th, it was time for a beach trip with Pawika and Weena.
