A lightweight band ...can carry tons of memories
Hey Steemians,
my week in Bangkok was a lot of fun and a fair amount of useful informations
I carry my Steemit wristband aka band with so much memories. Even during my last week business meetings the colorful bracelet was sneaking out of my clean white business shirt to show of. I saw some funny looking business people who tried to figure out that message.... ;-)
On my way back to cold Germany, while arriving in Frankfurt, I had a look to my bracelet and the tons of positive memories this little wodden piece is carrying. In this emotional moment I took this picture to add that words later on.

Yes, I was there...
As being from Europe, a trip to Bangkok sounds fun.
And it is fun if you look for the temperature and the people and even for the great Thai food.
On the other hand, it is a nearly 24h journey by several planes and a nice time difference, wich keep shaking up your body. It made me wake up in the middle of the night at a hotel room while thinking:
Where the heck I'm here and why?
Anyway, SteemFest4 was again a great learning and even more a wonderful way to connect with people who are in the same mood but from different locations of this planet.
SteemFest 4 was a blast
The community
was celebrating himself
and seems to be the most powerful
community on the blockchain
The family picture
At day two around noon we joined all together to have this nice picture with the whole SteemFest family.

From a fair amount of people on this picture I found the Steem handle / Steem ID as I had the chance talking with many.
I know I may forgot somebody, so please leave me a comment and I add you to this lovely list of SteemFest 4 attendees.

Let me know who is missing....
Det in da Tuk Tuk
Being in Thailand means riding a Tuk Tuk at least some time. See me enjoying my ride in a Tuk Tuk and have a look to my other post with that little video where I just arrive in Bangkok
The Water Taxi
Bangkok and it's horrible traffic. To go by taxi through the city might take a lot of time as the roads are packed. Even a Tuk Tuk is not much faster, as it runs on the same street.
So on some routes, there is the chance to use one of the water channels and get a ride with a water taxi. This is cheap and a lot more fast and even a lot more fun.
We did a fast ride to the venue of day one and as you see it was a lot of smiling faces.
Steemit Inc on stage
The management of the Steemit Inc. was giving a lot of news and several insides to the actual status of the company and the upcoming features.
The main information was the soon arriving SMART MEDIA TOKEN - SMT, the upcomming communities with Hivemind and the cost saving activities of the company.
For myself, I really enjoy the - nowadays way more open -communication of the Steemit Inc Team, which is for me a part of #newsteem and all the positive changes. The whole team was in Bangkok and we all enjoyed speaking to them
Proof of Hug
What a cool idea from @arcange to have all of us in a challenge where we have to show a proof of hug during SteemFest.
See him in action with @roelandp on stage at day 1
The family in the garden
The location of day one, the Siam Society, had a very nice garden where we enjoy our lunch. Thai food is so delicious and there was a lot time to chat to each other.

Visit to the temple
On the way to the evening activity we had the fun to enjoy a very special place, the Wat Pathum Wanaram in the middle of the busy shopping area.
Bowling evening
Since the bowling evening at SteemFest 3 in Krakow this fun activity seems to get a tradition.
Luckily the German team won again.

At day 2 we went to onother cool location. The grand postal building in the heart of the city.

The day 2 was taken place at the grand postal building
The Grand Postal Building
This building location is close the to many of the well known top hotels like the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, wich was for years the best - most expensive - hotel to go. I never did this but many years ago I had the chance to stay there for the Christmas diner.
The new CryptoBrewMaster game
See @rollie1212 and his great idea of a Beer Brewing game. We will support this cool game during the next few month to bring it to the steem blockchain. See more at the blog of @cryptobrewmaster
A speech about the fun
Us usual there is a last speech which ends the official part with all the speeches and all the information of the SteemFest
It was a honor to @detlev to be the one who has this last speech since a few years and you see my video about this here starting after 13823 seconds.
Sure there where some questions
Again a few good questions after the speech from @lukestokes about crypto and the law.
The gif fun
During the evening at the river we had this lovely setup to picture some cool gifs.

A quite Day 3 with a beery night
After two very intense days with so many impressions and talks, I had to sleep a bit longer and had to use the nice pool at the hotel.
During the morning we did the last orga stuff for the evening activity - the #BeerSaturday out in town with many steemians.
BeerSaturday
Since the SteemFest 2 in Lisbon this tradition is celebrated on the Saturday of SteemFest.
Chat'n'Beer
There could never be enough time for discussion with other Steemians. See some more fact at the post about the #BeerSaturday invitation
... and the we celebrate our life being a Steemian.
A part of our group taken by louis88
Have a great day
JOIN the BeerSaturday
and steem on!!
The "Steem Bridge" metaphor
On my way walking around the hotel together with @louis88 we saw this bridge and in some way it remind me to the actual situation of steem.
The whole thing is working already,
but while being active
it gets a lot of updates
to be a really productive
bridge/blockchain platform.
Anyway, SteemFest 4 was great, I was happy to went there and I see a positive future for Steem if all what is in the pipeline will be delivered in quality.

Oh dear! I think I didn't get round to give you a coaster for your beer glass. I'm so sorrry 😢
We had so much fun and all is fine. Looking forward to see you again!!
Ahhh! Such a wonderful trip review. It’s nothing like being there, of course. But wow, this is almost the next best thing. Good times. I really want to go next year.
It’s wonderful that your wristband carries so many great memories. Love the proof of hug photo!
I love this
So true...
I am hanging on to it too, even though it is a little tattered trying to get it off without hurting it hahaha
Hope you have caught up on your sleep and your body clock has fixed itself
It was great meeting you :D
Til the next one ...cheers
@detlev! Thanks for making #SteemFest4 even more fun!
it was cool being able to join you guys during SF 4 #beersaturday i hope to see you again on the next one! hopefully #sangsomsunday will also be a tradition in future SF events lol
Great resume!! To cut or not to cut the wristeband!? ;)
I always „open“ the plastic to have the whole band in my hand.
you may put it on again
Nice!! Last year I think I was able to keep my wristband intact, but not this year :( Maybe I tried too soon in the morning and didn't figure out how to open the plastic ;)
Destroy the plastic was my only change
