@endo safe travels and enjoy! And I can tell by your non-Hamburg food and beverage that you are already in holiday mode

Brezeln are universal, and you can‘t tell which beer it is. And I don’t remember.

[endo]

Brezeln / Pretzel looks great. Have a great time.

Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting …

It has been 28 years since I was last here.

Today, you can quickly reach the city from one of its airports using the air-conditioned elevated and underground railways. And the population has more than doubled.

Our hotel is a traditionally built and decorated wooden house on the Khlong Bangkok Noi canal.

One of the few truly good places I have ever stayed in and only accessible through a narrow alley.

The 2 ½ days we‘ve spent here were packed and awesome. Spent hours on Chatuchak Market, returned to the delights of street food and were shocked by a 5 min visit of Khaosan Rd, which was our haven in the 90s.

But a good friend of ours lives here and we went out with him.

Best bar only 2 minutes off Khaosan Road.

Karaoke in an unofficial bar, 3 very small and dark staircases above a 'Golden Duck' fast food restaurant.

So the next day, a little hungover, we took the ferry to Bang Kachao, and within minutes you exchange skyscrapers for village life that you can explore by bicycle.

Today we're continuing south. I'll keep you posted.

@endo couple of the pictures are pretty blurry

Can understand the hangover the next day

[endo]

Some of my memories are pretty blurry, too.

[ROman]

@endo Great pictures, thanks. I thought maybe the blurry shots were after the dispensary.

[Denman John]

@endo What an awesome start to the trip! Yeah, Khaosan Road area has changed a lot since the 90s, but it’s still a good time as your pictures show. Safe travels and look forward to island life pics.

Fantastic pics
I loved my time in Thailand many many years ago
I even spent my last night walking barefoot around Bangkok as the thongs (sandles flip flops etc) broke
And the street food was some of the best food I’ve ever had

[endo]

We've been on Koh Phayam for a week now. Or is it forever? Hard to say. The days blend into one another. The beach is huge and the sea is always warm. Almost too warm.

Anyone who knows the Thais knows how welcoming they are. The food is fantastic, of course, and the cocktails and the weed are great too.

Tomorrow we're off to the neighboring island. Same same but (even) quieter. Another week at the beach, who can stand that?

@endo Every picture has this “A life in peace and freedom” vibe!
Enjoy and keep us updated, what the smaller island provides for you.

@endo Great shots. Thanks for sharing.

Brillant @endo looks like it couldn’t get any better
