Van Bangkok-HuaHin-March2009

Yesterday evening, the gang (Noi, Lak & Kevin) popped in, to view Kevin's pictures on his Mac. He is also an adept of the Panasonic Lumix cameras, he and me really have a lot in common, and at the same time we are remarquably complimentary. Interesting.

Lak and/or Noi were on duty, and while watching the pix, they got a call from the lobby, saying that there was a problem with a nude gay gay who was heartbroken. We offered our assistance to the girls, but they promised us that they could handle it. HL asked, how do you know that the heartbroken guy is gay? And Kevin replied, oh yes they know, they can tell immediately. Which brought us to the question which ones of the staff that we met already were gay hahaha!!!! A funny excercise in human analysis :-)

The girls left to solve the problem at the reception, and phoned back that it was just a customer who was unhappy with his drink, so after all it was not as interesting as it sounded, or we got the calm-down-message to keep us out of the lobby :-) Kevin stayed and we exchanged quite some stuff. He also showed us pix from his time with his former bf, an American in US, musician, obviously a nice guy but too much alike, this was a relationship that couldn't last; however it was so nice to see Kevin while he was younger (with less attitude, so charming) and I'm sure that Kevin learned a lot of life during that relationship. Ah, Kevin. He's a real gem, this guy, I'm sure we'll hear more of him lateron, and that he will open up a bit more, because for the moment he's still showing his best side, and I cannot get the full image of him, but what I have seen so far makes me quite comfortable with him. One of the things I remembered when viewing his pictures was that he was constantly jumping in the sky :-) which made me think that in a former life he might have been a frog :-). Anyway, we kissed him goodbye, and hope to see him again soon!

Today we travelled back to BKK, by car. The driver delivered us at the other Meridien hotel, which gave us a quick look ... someone told us that there are a lot of ladyboys working in this new Meridien, but unfortunately we didn't see any :-)
Then passing by the Lumpini Park (Rama VI statute), to our usual Royal Meridien, quick check-in (they have all the info already), jumping to the lounge, refreshments, and a swim! Meanwhile the engineers of the hotel installed the DVD-player, since HL is a movie-addict and for him a DVD-player is a basic necessity in life!

Too bad Kevin couldn't make it to BKK (he's still stuck in Hua Hin's conference), but fortunately Nai from Komrat (northeast of BKK) was in BKK, and he popped in and we had a long interesting chat with him! More about him some other time :-)

Now we's sipping our cocktails in the lounge, 24th floor, overlooking the busy streets of Bangkok. And looking forward for a nice, quiet evening in this buzzling city!
