Koh Samet (bis)

We again went with Nirmala's parents to Koh Samet, the island nearest to Bangkok. As this is rainy season, we had to cope with heavy rain throughout our stay, including on the boat return trip where we were completely soaked. Wolfgang was fortunately kept dry by a blue plastic sheet (pictured). Other than that, we had a good time and enjoyed our time at the seaside. We even took Wolfgang into the sea for a short while. He was looking around suspiciously but seemed to enjoy it nonetheless. After drying and changing ourselves, we enjoyed a nice Thai seafood lunch in Ban Phe, where the boat pier is situated.

News update: We have moved! - Weekend Phuket - 21 July

We moved about a month ago to a new place, in the same area. We stayed on the same street, in a new building nearer to Nirmala's office. We again opted for a high floor so still have good views of Bangkok! Wolfgang also seems to enjoy it.

Nirmala and Tom went to Phuket and nearby islands (including the beach featured in the movie "The Beach") for a weekend without the little guy, leaving him in the good hands of Raquel and Nirmala's parents.

On the occasion of Belgium's National Day (21 July), we were invited (like the other Belgians living in Thailand) at the Residence of the Belgian Ambassador for a reception. Wolfgang came along and received much more attention than his parents!

Visit Nirmala's parents

Nirmala's parents are back in Bangkok for a few weeks. During their first weekend, we went to a seaside resort in Cha-am, a town near Hua-Hin. Wolfgang entertained the different guests and us. He is normally in a good mood, except when he is hungry or sleepy! We also attach a short video where you can hear Wolf making some noises...
