Last day in Thailand: The Aioh's experience
Before I start let me say something about myself: I'm one of those guys that can detect the most subtle differences but I never see something obvious. Read this entry and you will know why I'm saying this.
This morning I wake up a little bit late, knock at Dani's and Kim's rooms, they are here! Yesterday I lost them, he he. Continental Breakfast! There's a week that I didn't have one.
Kim wakes up too late, Dani prefers to stay at bed, he he he, finally we leave the hotel closer 10 o'clock, so we have 2 hours to do it, we decide to go walking, It's closer, according to the plane, 15 minutes later we are at Mahathat, well it's ok, but we don't understand nothing : WE NEED A LOCAL GUIDE, 5 minutes more and 
Advice: Take water, hat and fresh long trousers
It's late and too hot, we can't more, back to the Hotel, walking of course because we don't find a taxi or a Tuk-Tuk. Directly to the shower! And wear shorts:
“Come on quickly! We will arrive late”
“Wait a moment I have to take Aioh’s notes”
“Aioh’s notes” is a word document where I copy/paste all the comments she made me a month ago with advices, words in Thai and a pic from her in b/w (was difficult to fid one without sun glasses), it was the most useful document that I take there
MEETING AIOH (TB Aiohdmg)
The meeting was at 12h at Burger King @ Kao San, we arrive 5 minutes early, waiting outside for 10 minutes, nobody comes, It's too warm, we come in to the Burger King, order a coke, there's a couple and a girl, we sit down between them, I have a pic from her (TB profile) we 3 are studying the pic, the girl could be, but she seems absent, we tree begin to look at her and finally she looks at us:
Me: "Are you she?"(showing Aioh's pic)
Aioh: "Yes"
We have been like 10 minutes one next to the other without recognizing ourselves! ha ha ha! As I considered her my friend (too many time talking by TB) I give her 2 kisses, without thinking she's not spanish, she gets “surprised” (scared is better), Dani & Kim seeing that, shake the hand.
LOST
“Where are they? They have to be here” They have departed 5 minutes earlier than we, she begins to run up and down the street and getting nervous until I rest on the meeting point…LOST, 20 minutes later, we decide to cross the market to an other subway station, LOST, take the subway to the first one, LOST. She is becoming more and more nervous, even more as she saw me so quiet (we have to take the plane in 10 hours!), we call to the Hotel, LOST
I’m very cold in a crisis situation, I think in the worst option and that’s all, in this case: Go to the airport and decide if I take the plane without they or remain in 
We have spend one hour looking for them, we can do nothing, let’s go to eat the famous “Papaya Salad” and other dishes. And take a look at the market, mmm, I like it, nobody is annoying, but I didn’t found nothing that I like, it’s too late, an other call to the Hotel, LOST . she is being nervous again. We turn back to the hotel (3.5 Hours lost).
BACK TO THE HOTEL
When we come in, the doorman looks she bad, I didn’t like it, but we went to reception, they aren’t here, let’s have a look on the Swimming pool's Bar, LOST, let’s take a look at the room, when I come to the elevator going to press the button (maybe I press it), turn around, I WAS ALONE! I go out and tell her with the finger “Come in!” Here we are, at the elevator in silence and walking for the corridor in tension. Knock at the door....They are here, so relaxed in underwear/swimsuit. The Tuk-Tuk leaves them at the other subway station, they saw us pass on the Tuk Tuk and begin to run but they didn't find us, finally they eat/drink something at Chatuchak , Like we! (take a look at the map!) We had enough time to see Chinatown, we went to the lobby to wait them.
OMG!
At the lobby Aioh went to the toilet. When she turn back from the toiled, she seems very relieved, giving me a gift: a necklace made by her (the one I wear from Friday afternoon to Sunday night), then put her hands over her smiling face... OMG! Now I know what was in her head:
"-Meet a guy(farang) from internet (well, 3 guys)
-The first thing he do is give me a couple of kisses (the other 2 give me the hand)
-His friends left us alone in a Tuk Tuk (take a tuk tuk together)
-They are missing, they have to be here (I tell to the tuk tuk driver exactly here!)
-They have to take a plane in few hours, but he is so relaxed
-Go with him at their Hotel
-Doorman looks me badly
-The receptionists also (they say that his friends aren't here)
-He ask me to come with him to the room (I ignored but he insists)
-They're on the room, dressing underwear/swimsuit so relaxed"
I'm so stupid, even more when I think on Chatuchack: "It seems that it is a montage" .
CHINATOWN
This time, we take a taxi (not an other LOST experience, please!), as I had Aioh only for me, more than 3h, now I left Dani and Kim enjoying her explanations, etc:
Me : "What is she saying?"
Kim: "She had said "First we go to a temple, to do an offering and a pray" It wasn't a suggestion, it's a fact"
Me : "Ups, OK!"
At Wat LengNoeiYi (Chinese name)Or Wat MongkhonKamalawat (Thai name) we make the offer and all the ritual (it's complicate believe me), it was interesting and fun(but we were very respectful), that's one of the things that we'll never do If we weren't with her.
I don't know if it was my blame, but the dish of a small chinese child (4-6 Years old) fall to the ground. She begins to cry and to say that was my blame... Before the snack we give 40 Baths for the child's dish.
Move a little bit more and we sit down for a dinner, when they take the glasses, Aioh begin to clean them:
Kim : "It's the first time on seven days that I think in cleaning the glasses,plates..."
Dani and JC : "Me too!"
The lunch was good and abundant, with an impressive and tasteless shrimps (I'm really sorry but the mediterranean red shrimp is something "Out of this world", the price also >90 Euros/Kg in the Market), it was late, let's turn back to the hotel.
TO THE AIRPORT
Have a shower, checkout from the Hotel, and taking a Taxi to the airport:
"How much for going to the airport?" "300" "Ok" Seconds later once we are in the taxi "700!" "Stop the Taxi, NOW!" "Ok, Ok"
Finally we give him 500, it was what we spected to spend.
BYE BYE NA!
We went to do the check-in, a prety stewardess attends us :D , she was presuming about us with a colleage, of course we are 3 attractive boys!, ho ho ho. And as I imagine, to do the checkin for the Gatwick-Barcelona Flight was imposible! :(
Change money, and to the gate...Massage shop closer the gate, it was so expensive.
BYE BYE NA THAILAND, IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO HAVE BEEN HERE.
The question: Will I turn back to Thailand someday?
Yes! I left too many thinks to see: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Krabi, Angkor (Cambodia).
If you think this is the end of the Blog, you're WRONG, the return was ....
