Meeting Karnda and Derek
Von w-scharfenberg, 22:11Early wake-up ... I decide to start without breakfast for being in the airport one hour earlier. The driver doesn't understand english. So he drops me off at the Departures. It's a long way to find the Car Rentals ... but the agency from which I booked has no desk! The airport information is realy good over here, they are calling them, redirecting me through the airport and finally we meet after announcing me.
I rented at "auto#europe". This is just a broker. The prices are best but it can be an adventure... like this time. The agency just brought my car, a Toyota Hilux Vigo Pickup from a garage. The paperwork is made by camera, because there is no office. Finaly I can start some later than 9am
The driving is easy, just two times I was stopped by the police. First time I was 119 instead of 100, "So Sorry" - "OK, Good bye", the second time he just wanted to see my licence. First time a German one, very intesting. He than helped me with Karndas phonenumber. because the international one didn't work ... so instead of +66 12345678 I have to dial 08 12345678. Well, why should it be easy if it also can be complicated...
Entering Roi Et I called Karnda for helping me with my way. Since it was a bit difficult I stopped, gave my mobile (with Karnda on the other end) to somebody on the road ... and after 15 min she and Mary arrived!
I got a very nice room in the Petcharat Garden Hotel (www.petcharatgardenhotel.com). Sitting at the poolside a lady came up to Karnda, offering her to have a look to the wedding DVD. We did and it was great! I have never ever seen such a thing! Nice pictures, many different outfits and some movie clips "The making of ..."
In the night I was out with Karnda, Mary and Derek ... but the girls had to leave. So Derek and I had a lot of time to talk
