Mini-diary by Pim Hoonhout (2): Cannot be described with a pen

Of course, as a resident of Thailand you experience unexpected things every day. But what Pen has done for me is indescribable. Pen is an employee at Say cheese in Hua Hin. Special? Yes.

For example, on my way home it happened to me that on the advice of an unknown person it was better to let him drive me home, because I still had 14 km to go and the evening had been very pleasant. It was already very late and in that street the party only starts when the bars are closed. As an experienced fool, I fell for it again.

Just arrange something with a driver, in just that one eatery that I had said I never wanted to go there again. Of course a lady of stature also came, I the experienced person showed her the way on the street. The negotiations to get my means of transport home then started to run smoothly. It was, I thought, my advantage because I wasn't drunk yet.

Anyway I was brought home that night and someone would follow us to get my little 125 cc sweetie to sleep safely with me. For me he has gone left to the monkeys. Money gone, moped gone.

Then I started looking in every corner. Even in the places where the tourist has never been, people celebrate there in their own way. Bad luck, moped away.

At guest house Say cheese I told my story, because many Dutch people also come there. PEN is a woman to dream of working there. I told that there would be a reward if I saw that thing that you can easily get everywhere with again. That sweet girl managed to find my two-wheeler within half an hour so that Honda drives under my ass again.

PEN, that darling, didn't want money as a reward, she got to know my herring in the meantime. That's what I can spoil her with. She now eats it every day, she is a miracle if I may say so. Because of 1 sticker on that thing that was about herring, she brought it back to me. There are really nice ladies in Thailand.
