Thailand - Saroch's shop, vws and resort

We arrive in Thailand sooner than Augustas parents, who had to rescheadule their flight to a day after.  Meanwchile we enjoyed our stay at a hostel in Bangkok, and we made our way to Sarochs Garage.
Saroch is a vw fan, whom, like Anto I met on vw shows in europe. Usually the good german shows like Bad Camberg, or Hannover.  He asked me to phone him as we arrived in Thailand, so as soon as he realised that we were here, he invited us to his shop, and warmly insisted on visiting his vw resort, not too far from Katchanaburi, located on a nice slope near a river side in a quiet place umong the mountains.  We stayed there and it pleased Augusta who was looking for a brake from traveling constantly in a vw bus.  Filip went back to Bangkok to pickup Augustas Parents at the airport.

Finally the whole family was reunited, and Elios was happy to have his grandparents to play with, and Augusta relieved of her maternal duties.   We rode elephants and visited the near places like the bridge over rivier quai, We used the Beetle and a 73 westy wchich needed some tune up before taking off for a bigger trip to the north mountains of Thailand.  On wednesday, Sarochs wife Kun, guided us back to Bangkok, as we drove the 73 westy, to get a valve check, and an over all tune up before going off for a 2 week excursion.
We drive Sarochs bus for the first 350km, half way to Chiang Mai, and it does very well.
