DAY 05 in Bangkok        friday @  8:40  Pm in Bangkok

we are totally exhausted from the day ... and  the week.

Four of us did an "inside-contact visit" at Bangkwang.
Un-nerving and difficult to say the very least.
impossible without substantial support of the Nepal embassy.
i would not like to try it alone ... just too much stress.

Just when we were sitting down inside Bangkwang visit rom .... 
... GS noticed my money belt was still on
YIKES ... that is not permitted !!! 
Fortunately no one else noticed .. so no problem.
... but just a twinge if extra stress .. !! YIKES !

the four young prisoners were delighted .. to say the least ...
they weee also very articulate in what they wanted us to do for them.
fortunately ... our two other nepali visitors have 
strong family politically.

we had recently heard that there were FIVE more nepali 
heroin arrests on north thailand ..last month .. TWO were relatives !!!

after lunch, we delivered a last set of mail and books to the men at 
lard yao and the women at bang khen  .... "piece of cake" !

I tried to get visit permit for Bang Khen ... GS at lard yao.
I was NOT successful .. but he was ... 
We had a very pleasant visit with Thulo, Ramesh .. and two others.
Sorry ...   I cannot think right now.

Right now ... GS is passed out in the room.
It was to much for him as well as me ...
 
I am only up long enough to say we are OK and arrange 
for the taxi to the airport.

this pace is FAR more than i can tolerate.
right now .. i am ready to come home soon.
