10 weeks after visiting Bangkok with Peter and Mameow for the first time, we got back to the big city. During this time we have seen so many unbelievable things, had countless great experiences and met awesome people along our loop through Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. It felt very strange to come back now, almost like coming home after a long trip.
Something great to look forward to was meeting up with Mameow who has been living in Bangkok for 2 months now. She and her brother Mac took us to Wat Saket, the Golden Mount Temple, at our first night back. At the foot of the Mount, the Loy Kratong fair was still up and going so there were shows of traditional dancing, lots of food and we even went into a haunted house (it needed some persuasive power to get Mameow to join us for that one) and a freak show. Mac and Jens tried out their airgun shooting skills and Jens won a big Winnie the Pooh bear for Mameow at darts. From the top of the Golden Mount we had a perfect view over the nightly skyline of Bangkok that left us speechless. Oh, yes, and the temple was very pretty as well.
One day went by and was used for relaxing, christmas shopping, some sightseeing without cameras and lots of organizational stuff that needed to be done. You'd think that travelling like we do is like being on vacation, but it is not. It can be pretty exhausting and needs a lot of work, too.
The next day, one of us got ill and stayed in bed all day while the other took good care, spent some time exploring the Khao San area some more and relaxed. In the late afternoon, we pulled ourselves together and met with Mameow for the last time. After what surely was the most precise Thai definition of a meeting spot ("Let's meet at Siam BTS station!" "That's big, Mameow..." "Okay, see you later!" - You just have to love this girl!) it only took us about 45 minutes to actually find her in the crowd, and off we went from there to the mother of all markets, Bangkok's huge Chatuchak weekend market with more than 8000 stalls and daily visitor numbers of over 200.000 people. We met Mac and his girlfriend there and it was really nice to see them again as well!
We had a great picnic at the park next to the market - it was the night of the first of december and we were sitting at a beautiful lake, having tasty Thai dinner for the last time, chatting with good friends and enjoying the great atmosphere. It was magic and the perfect way to spend our last evening in this great country!
We want to say thank you to all the people that have made our time in beautiful Thailand so special. From our first dives at Crystal to the wonderful experience of sharing Peter's life in Chakkarat at Yaems house to the adventures of Chiang Mai and Sukhothai and the great insights into local life with Kate at sleepy Lampang and Mameow, Mac and his girlfriend in urban Bangkok. You have all made this an awesome time and we will surely come back to get more of this!
