March 18th we headed South to Khanom - COVID fear was already present and the roads through Bangkok were empty..
Am 18. Mätz füuhren wir gen Süen und Covid hatte das Land schon in seinen Fängen. Viele Touristen flogen heim und die Menschen wurden angehalten daheim zu bleiben... so leere Strassen sieht man in Bangkok selten.

Quick stop in Prachuap Kiri Khan, before we decided to drive further south to Hua Hin and spend the night at Triple Z Hotel - as usual
Kurzer Stopp in Prachuap Kiri Khan und dann eine Nacht in Hua Hin im Triple Z Hote - wie üblich

March 19th we arrived sound and safe in Khanom. Benji joined us as Phuket was already going into a lockdown...
Am 19. März sind wir samt Benjawan in Khanom eingetroffen. Da Phuket, wo Benjawan normalerweise lebt, bereits in den Lockdown ging, haben wir uns auf eine menage a trois eingestellt.
Tha Sala - Relax Bay 50 km south of Khanom
During the curfew at night we cooked a lot and played Rummy Cup...
Lucky we were - Khanom´s beaches were never closed so I could do my morning runs, cycling and hang out at CC Beach Bar

The cat whisperer and his crowd... Moma, Stockings - aka Joe Cocker, Socks and Spotty were our daily companions at Baan Thalay. Moma stays with John an Andrea now whereas the three little ones have found their forever homes.
Thank you Dagmar and Achim for the lovely pool nights...
Jet Lee and Chai took us to a hidden temple to clean and worship - we were rewarded with nice curries after the job was done.
