below you can see some of the photographs of the last days in Bangkok,
our departure and arriving in Chiang Mai.
And some Chiang Mai photographs, too.
and here is how Heng's place has been since september... This is his home and workplace, a shop. He has lost a lot of property to the flood damage. The fridge is just the tip of the ice berg... We hope he is ok at the moment with increased flood height and more flooding potentially to reach this area.
Bishnu and his friend and his colleague. This is a young guy from Nepal, who looked really quite concerned as we were leaving and he had to stay in Bangkok with at that time a lot of uncertainty about the upcoming flooding situation.
So far this area hasn't been too badly affected.
Although it wasn't entirely dry either..
AT Mo Chit bus station, it was pretty full, many people took the opportunity
to take precaution and visit family, friends or other outside of Bangkok.
as we were leaving Bangkok some streets had become shallow waterways..
In the background you can just see the mechanics building boats..
morning arrival in Chiang Mai, renting bicycles.
first fruit shake in Chiang Mai at a cafe/bar run by a Greek guy.
It was quite a relief to be out of Bangkok and certain to be able to stay
dry..
getting up early means much better chances of meeting roosters.
we bought custard apples and some good oranges from this man.
Tesco is invading everywhere.
Kay demonstrating abdominal massage for us.
