English translation of the “Short Story”

To everyone1: We won't make it a habit to write such long stories and approach everyone in personal after it... but who knows we'll find some spare time later on. But time is money and only the sun rises for free (= “frie” in Thai) (without bargaining. So we will type a story to kill the time the before the time kills us...
To everyone2: Because I know from my own experience you don't have time during your day-to-day worries to read the whole story - or in the best case half of it – we shall approach some people who wrote something on the site personally and try to underline some key words (if it works) to keep some line in the story. We wish you a lot of reading fun en remember:
ENWAARBEN.NU????????????????? (andwhereareyou.now)

WE are in Bangkok, or Krung Thep, like the Thai call it. But this is only an abbreviation of:
Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Nopphosin Ratchathaniburirom Udomrathaniwetmahasa Amonphiman Awatansathit Sakkathatiya Witsanukamprasit – Hayou Pel Sist Velly Well, Lespect!

As we speak it's 10:54 pm (local time, so 4:54 pm at your place (EU)) 6th of January in Hostel New Siam (Siam is the former name of Thailand). It's our third day in Thailand and it almost feels like we were born here as a - dressed up in orange – monk. It'll clear that we are having fun here so I'll try to point some interesting highlights of the first day...
For further details I refer to our uncensored travel journey which you may read by our arrival at home for 1500 Bath...

Thursday 4 January
In the airplane we sit next to a - just to Thailand emigrated - Dutch man who gives us the most important tip with the sentence “Mai me satang” (I am out of money). Not that they believe it, but it seems to work. Though we will be called damn foreigner (Farang). From the arrival on we don't trust anyone except for eachother and we are still alive, so that as well seems to work. Something else that works very well is the partition of weight in our backpacks (Luud 10kg, Isar 15,4). Which means Luud assumes Isar takes everything with him – Called the Macgyver phenomenon). With chewing gum and a paperclip this (from the '90 tvseries)-hero makes a real cluster bomb. Therefor Isar takes a lot of useful stuff with him which seem to be useless at the first sight, but later on will proof their value to Luud; 1)Adapter for charging telephone and camera 2) Binoculars
Bangkok conclusion: Chaos

See ya!!!
Luud en Isar
