Bangkok Podcast 71: Encore

Welcome back to Bangkok Podcast!


Since Tony had to come through the 'Kok again, we thought we'd
dust off the old equipment and record a quick reunion show! On
this episode, we're joined by past guest Hamish Chalmers, who
tells us his amazing story about escaping the recent floods that
devastated central Thailand. Hamish went to bed one night, and
woke up the next morning in the middle of a lake. He tells us
about his flight to dry land, and how not fun it was wading
through waist-high pitch-black water in his pitch-black
neighborhood with his wife, baby daughter, and dog in tow. It was
anything but safe - and that's before you factor in the
crocodiles and snakes that were floating around.


We are also joined by Michael Biedassek from Bangkok Vanguards, a
community of like-minded young guys who want to create a real
community around Bangkok that involves charity, exploration, and
making friends around the world. Michael tells of their recent
program 'Wipe the Tide' which saw over 2 million baht raised for
flood relief.
