Bangkok, Oct 28 & 29 Any questions ? |
Lai and Martin arrive at 0230 at
Nang Rong after a 6 hours bus drive, not too bad.
|
On October 21st, Martin visited his favorite watering hole in
Nang Rong, Home Ming. There is a beautiful view over the lake, and Birb has gotten a new sign up. |
||
Martin was very happy this 21st of October. He had 4 long Johns, usually only 2. |
||
On the great lake they have gotten
boats. That's a new one. Time to go swimming. |
||
Lai got herself a new grass hut in
the garden. Somai, the friendly pool attendant. |
||
He had made a new waterfall since
last time we were here. Looks kind of impressive. |
||
New counter to sell various goodies
to the public. Martin after his swim, ready to get dressed. |
||
The pool looks nice. Time for lunch at Lai's friend not far from her house. |
||
A white haired Thai, 20 years
Martin's junior. An American helmet as a nice decoration on a gate pole outside the neighbor's house. |
||
Lai's papaya tree. Boss, Lai's son is trying to get them down. Lai is helping. |
||
Boss' fish pond. He
feeds them and then sells them to friends and family. Boss is taking down the papaya. |
||
Lai is receiving the
papayas from Boss. Lai at Akelada hotel for a swim. |
||
Martin ready for the
swim. The pool was very clean and tempting. |
||
Martin doing his
backstrokes. Four laps backstroke and then 6 laps crawl. A total of 160 laps to make up 2000 meters. |
||
Martin's crumble 100
bath bill from the rotten ATM at Bangkok Bank in Nang Rong. Mr. Bon is trying to fix the ATM that stole 5000 baht from Martin's account. |
||
Bon is trying to unpack
the rotten ATM. He took all the boxes out. Three of Martin's 1000 bath bill came out. Not the other two. |
||
Martin with Birp at
Home Ming. Birp is playing grieving music for his dead king. But it is actually not that depressing. |
||
Staffer in Bangkok Bank
that doesn't speak English.
The letter that will make sure, hopefully that Martin gets his money back. |
||
Man with a Colt .45ACP
who cannot shoot, having the magazine poaches on the same side as his gun.
How the hell is he going to reload in a gun fight? Nice street lady selling peanuts. |
||
The Big Lake in
Nang Rong.
Pedal boats for hire. |

Some of the boats. Martin chose the Donald Duck boat. |
||
Lai and Martin dressed
