it's her birthday party 29 December!.... [sorry to be a bit late this year with the notification..........]

Same here, and this new deal wouldn't be too bad for me if it wasn't for the stupid quarantine. I have decided I will not play along with this BS. Its not so much about the money as the nerve to impose this arbitrary charade we know is useless regarding transmission of Covid-19. The more I think about it, they can shove it where the sun don't shine. If they want our money they should wise the fuck up and welcome us with that famous smile, fake or not.

Quinn’s witty tale, in the general knowledge quiz thread, of his experience of a hole in the ground toilet in Penang, Malaysia after copious amounts of Guinness got me thinking of similar amusing tales most of us must have, of our times, not just in Thailand but around S.E. Asia in general. Not only toilet tales, although my intro one will be such yarn, but reminisces that can only happen in that part of the world. So feel free to share your amusing ditties of fun times on your travels. I’ll kick of with this tale of improvisation and needs must in Cambodia. Some of you may have read the trip report On the Road to Sihanookville and this is just one incident on that long, memorable day many moons ago. We had been on the road for quite a time heading south from Phnom Penh to Sihanookville when the more pressing of the two daily calls of nature became urgent. Ninewives and I just needed to get to some toilets and lay some serious cable. We spotted a roadside petrol station and indicated to the mini van driver to pull over, presuming there had to be some type of latrine on the premises, and sure enough there was, phew. Both of us popped into adjacent cubicles and the ensuing sound effects were quite impressive for anyone unfortunate to be nearby. Job done, I turned around to grab some tissue....nada, nothing, zilch was the depressing view. I asked NWs if there was any in his section but the response was in the predictable negative. The only option was one of those small scoopers and a basin of water....errrr no, how is a guy gonna dry his toot after that, not to mention the inevitable mess on the fingers. All of a sudden Ninewives gives a yell of joy and excitingly declares I’ve solved it. What’s the story I call back to him. “Now I know why the Cambodia’s have these useless Riel notes” he says and throws a bundle over the low-ish partition to my delight and laughter. *1000 Riel is about 25 cents (the US dollar is used there also) so 10 x 100 worked out as quite reasonable toilet tissue :) More of that day’s adventures can be had here. http://www.ladyboyreview.com/index.php?/topic/723-on-the-road-to-sihanoukville/

You and me both, I Love my trips but getting there as you rightly say is just so tiring it's stressful and not the part that I look forward to at all. I can already feel here in my Home a simple calm and once I adjusted to the fact I would not be able to go to Thailand this year it is then something of a release valve on the pressure I used to feel on the build up to the trip, we ain't getting any younger as they say I'll say one thing though if this is the end of my trips well " It's sure been a blast" no regrets and loved every moment of them whatever that entailed. cheers my friend.

I have eaten there once, from the top junction of Buddha hill which has the small police box with the Muay Thai outdoor ring behind it, head along Pratumnak to soi 4 turn right into soi 4 walk down till you see a Family mart turn left at the family mart walk along the soi and the restaurant will be about 30 metres on the right.

I spent the night England won the rugby World Cup celebrating with 2 English guys I met in a bar there. Around 2 am one of the local ladyboys passed and we drunkenly invited her in for a drink. She ordered a bottle of said Guinness and commenced to drink it through a straw. I remember thinking to myself Wtf, here is an Irish guy, celebrating England winning the World Cup, it’s November and I’m in shorts and a T-shirt, sitting with a guy dressed as a girl, drinking the sacred brew with a f%#kin stray, man I love S.E. Asia!

Slight 'Threadf**k. Happy memories of slumming it in Penang about 28 years ago. I went out every night and got lashed on the Guinness Foreign Extra. Next day in my 'flophouse' I had to scurry to the shared toilet (hole in the floor) - which opened up onto the backpackers dormitory. My deposit didn't look much different to the stuff I'd slurped down the night before. (Black with a creamy head) But OMG - the stench - as it crept towards the bunk beds of the great unwashed. 5555

The lb in Saint Jack were trans. The two in the hotel room were post op.

Seven coindidentilly I too had pretty much gone through the process of what you have expressed here in your quote as I have no intention of jumping through hoops for getting to Pattaya. Look at the latest added to those said hoops below, from the way I read it they expect us to of quarantined in our country first before then travelling to Thailand and enter a further quarantine there, also when reading the article you will see that they also expect us to have "a record of not visiting crowded places prior to their departure." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/easy/1988231/tourists-must-isolate-in-home-countries Dr Chakrarat Pittayawonganon, director of the Bureau of Mental Health Strategy under the Department of Disease Control, (DDC) said yesterday that foreign tourists must present proof of a negative Covid-19 test no more than 72 hours prior to travel. They must also have quarantined in their country of origin and have health insurance for international travel and a specified minimum amount of money in their bank account as well as a record of not visiting crowded places prior to their departure. During their domestic quarantine, visitors must have been tested twice for Covid-19 at the beginning and end of the process. If both tests are negative for the virus, they will be allowed to travel to Thailand.

A few pictures from last night. A visit from Patty meant that she had to drink the Why Not Cock (tail) Annie Catty Donut Lukpla VR VR , Lukpla & Annie Donut,Lukpla,Annie ,Momay ,Ping ,VR,Catty. Tina, Cream & Clara

I agree,Tel. Its just too much trouble. A holiday in Los should be fun and easy, this simply isn't. Last few years I have already felt how tiresome long distance travelling has become. This is a nightmare even thinking about it. We're not alone thinking this. So many, especially families, I've talked to who usually travel to Thailand over the holidays already booked warmer european destinations.

There's a couple of Soi's but I shall work on them

BigTel, the Soi Atlas of Pattaya and Jomtien , is there anywhere you don't know amogo? , love it

While donuts aren't the healthiest thing to consume, I might be willing to make an exception.

I got wrecked in Penang some 28 years ago on the Guinness Extra at 8% ABV a hefty brew. Still brewed in Malaysia I believe. Also bottled Guinness brewed in the Gambia quite good. Lots of ageing blonde female mongers there. Tut tut. !

Nigeria. Guinness is sometimes called 'Nigerian Lager' here!

Great staff Poesface! Thanks for putting the girl's names to the pics!

rarbg.to is also a good place to look for about anything.

Think 'Pattaya Mail" with even less news. But, thank god for Dr. Tegnell Sweden... a sane voice indeed.

The ???????* manuscript, an illustrated codex , has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, and also puzzled scientists. Its still a great mystery to this day .The item is named* after a Polish/ American emigre who bought it in 1912 its dated around 500 years old and priceless . To what is the name given to this very famous manuscript.... if anyone can figure out what it means a noble prize awaits... it was in the news recently as someone thought they had de cyphered it but alas it was not to be below an ingenious fold out section ( its 500 years old remember ) and some text from with the codex i know .. its a trivia question ... maybe the eggheads over there can get it if no one here can

Not sure, as she hasn't been promoted very much around here I'll give it a stab, Teya?

https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=NCIS&cat=0 yes, Piratebay is still alive, it's the first one I check usually. Using duckduckgo.com and setting filters from Moderate to NONE is the ticket. Google is in cahoots with the RIAA and don't even show most torrent sites...least they were when I last used em years ago.
