I had my flight to Hanoi on the 1st of March and had 3 days in Bangkok to meet lots of friends and say &#8220;Good-Bye&#8221; for now.<br \/>\nDimitris and Elena where in Bangkok so this is where I went in the morning to get the man for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/0001a.jpg\" alt=\"Simona in Bangkok\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><br \/>\nSimona was on the way from Kanchanaburi to meet her friends in Bangkok. She took the bus to the bus terminal and another city bus to my hotel. Then we went to my bar for some food and beer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/001.jpg\" alt=\"Volkswagen in Bangkok\" width=\"650\" height=\"424\" \/><br \/>\nNice job on that old Volkswagen<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/002.jpg\" alt=\"Timothy in Bangkok\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><br \/>\nTimothy did not make it up to Pai but at last, we could say hello and good-bye!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/003.jpg\" alt=\"Timothy and Dimitris\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" \/><br \/>\nWe had so much fun even the people on the street turned heads<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/004.jpg\" alt=\"With Melanie in the park\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><br \/>\nMelanie came over to my part of town. We went to the amulet market. But before we stopped for some fruit shakes in the park.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/004a.jpg\" alt=\"Marc with coconut\" width=\"650\" height=\"635\" \/><br \/>\nOn the way back we passed the Coconut Man in the campus of the university. 20 Bath for one &#8211; my friend &#8211; I need you in Pai!! And after you drink it he opens them, scoops out the meat and serves it with a spoon made from coconut &#8211; customer service<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/005.jpg\" alt=\"Good Merit\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><br \/>\nReleasing animals for good merit = spiritual credit granted for good work. These guys had about 20 bags of fish, frogs, shells and one turtle from the fresh market. A couple of 1000 Bath worth of good fortune.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/006.jpg\" alt=\"Good Merit\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><br \/>\nShure most of the fish were happy to swim in the dirty river. Some might not survive that dirty water. But the shells? Not so sure if they like water a few meters deep?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/007.jpg\" alt=\"Good Merit\" width=\"650\" height=\"436\" \/><br \/>\nThe poor turtle &#8211; there is no land nowhere so she will probably drown very soon since it did not even look like a water turtle. They got something wrong&#8230; &#8220;But it is from the wet market!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/bkk\/008.jpg\" alt=\"Andy and Timothy\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><br \/>\nLast time we saw each other in the USA when I visited Andy in Las Vegas.
