Before travelling to Europe Hans Fritschi pays a last visit to Pattaya Jomtien beach which is completely deserted. All people are gone. No more beach chair vendors, no more tourists. This once buzzling beach has become a deadly, depressive place. Whereas Thailand has closed down, Europe is opening up: Covid 19 times.

The Baya weaver, a sparrow like bird, uses artfully built nests as such a sex trap.

Since both are polygamous, the construction craze will go on and on and on.

Suddenly there were those pink (plastic?) particles all over the garden. What was this about? Almost all of that pink pollution turned out to be organic. And now we can hope for a huge harvest of plumb like fruits in about two months time. The bees are having a ball right now.

Ever since I heard that there are strawberry trees in Thailand I wanted one. And suddenly one day I was very lucky and detected one in my garden in Pattaya! One of its suckers I took to Discovery Garden Nong Khai where it has grown tremendously since. I was always enthusiastic about my unique strawberry trees whereas most Thai people were little impressed….

The Passiflora foetida produces spectacular flowers and attractive red passion fruits. They are the smallest passion fruits of the world and taste quite sweet. Therefore the birds like them too and distribute them all over the garden. The Passiflora foetida can be seen at Dicovery Garden Pattaya and Nong Khai (Thailand) where you also can order seeds.
