River 1: Bangkok
After the Abi-Feier from Adrian we flew the next day to
Bangkok. Despite the lovely service of Thai Airways we were dead tired and fall
asleep at the pool of the Chatrium. In the afternoon we explored the great rive
of Chao Phrayain Bangkok. There are regular speed boats and the tickets
only costs 18THB. The boat arrives fast, a series whistling
(Trillerpfeifen) from the the boatman
helps the captain to maneuver his boat, when the boatman jumps off with a rope
and holds the boat, before people quickly depart the boat and other people
arrive. You have to be quick, because the next whistle comes fast and the boat
engine starts roaring.
The ferry is fast, there is no traffic jam and it is cheap.
We really enjoyed the boat rides and I believe this is a good start to see Bangkok!
A good starter to Asia is also a visit to China Town:

In the evening we met Grace and Mary and we had a great
dinner in one of the many street restaurants. Unfortunately this was the only good moment with them...
Nevertheless we enjoyed the marvelous view from the 28th floor of the Chatrium:
