Is that a cigarette lighter hanging on your neck Emmy? I hope you haven't started smoking again! 

Is this the first cave art depiction of a ladyboy doing her thing?

Genuine advert.

Good to see you on lbr @barforth! You were/are one of the decent BMs on the other forum. I hope LLCoolDave finds his way here too. Unfortunately a lot of the good guys were banned or walked away from there.

We don't know how the whole story started but I can see 2 guys being beaten by safety agents. 

Story in Pattaya Mail suggests the father was refused service at bar, probably because he was drunk and/or offensive, then started altercation with security guard on leaving. Never a good idea.

LDOP ?

I didn't know him personally, but read of him on the other forum. He had a good innings and enjoyed himself. I'd think it will be difficult for his wife now, but I know Petesie and other lbp bms will do what they can. RIP Oldlover.

Sad to hear of Sinead's passing. Rest in peace sister.

Happy Birthday Emmy!!!

I looked into joining. But it seems at the moment you have to have an Instagram account, which i don't.

I don't think so. DM's reaction proves the topic still remains highly sensitive in 2023. I saw mother haunted till her last day by her brother's ghost. After having been arrested in 1944 he was delivered from a concentration camp in 1945 and died during his trip back home. He was just 18.

That is sad PG. So many victims of hate.

I think you overestimate the impact of our TRs on PY average BMs. Except a couple of pains in the ass, they seldom read our TRs.

There do seem to be a lot of 'guests' lurking on this forum every day, often 30-50 at any time. I suspect they are mainly from the other forum.

Guys, you should sign in and contribute. We are usually friendly on here.

She was not devastated, or did not seem to be.

I think that is the Thai Buddhist way of thinking. I get upset too about how things go for some of the lbs I have known, but they just seem accepting of it and usually just get on with life.

Pride Parade in Pattaya this Saturday, 24 June.

Zooming at the maximum. I was surprised to see the same "rainbow effect"

I know very little about cameras and photography, but could the rainbow effect be due to the camera lens creating a prism effect, separating colours?

I thought this is Neptune. Can anyone confirm ? 

Neptune is the furthest planet from our sun and cannot be seen without the aid of at least a small telescope, so unlikely to be the planet you saw if you saw it first with your naked eye. It is blue though.

Your pics show what looks like a large swirl, which might indicate that it is Jupiter, which has what is called the Great Red Spot, a huge storm which moves around Jupiter.

I had problems over the last two days. I could log in, read posts and give like/smile reactions but was unable to post, reply to posts, or send pms. I thought it might be the Russian hacker!  Back to normal now.

What has puzzled more for some time is, how do these Indian business men get to stay in Thailand and run their businesses?. Some years ago I looked into running a small business there and got told flatout that there was no chance. Had to conducted by Thai nationals.

Do I smell a rat or not?.

Perhaps these "Indian" businesses people are Thai citizens who have lived and invested in the country. No rat required.

On 2/6/2023 at 12:03 PM, Woodie said:

So you are suggesting that these clothing shops are run by Indian immigrants that have Thai citizenship?.. That is the only conclusion that I can come to.

@Woodie, people from India have been in Thailand since the 18th Century. Many married and had children with Thais. Under Thai law any child born in Thailand with either a Thai mother or father is automatically entitled to Thai citizenship. It is estimated that around 400,000 Thais are of Indian heritage, 2% of the population.

Also anyone can apply for Thai citizenship if they have lived legally (with appropriate visas) for over five years and are of good character with no criminal record. Around 65,000 people from India have acquired Thai citizenship by this route. You could too if you want to set up a business in Thailand. 

Apologies to @Romfor thread derailment, but I felt Woodie's question needed to be answered. If Rom feels this is inappropriate he can delete it and I will reply to Woodie in a new seperate thread

I am surprised to here you say we can see most of the planets with the naked eye, i was not aware. 

I wasn't aware of that either @Zeppie. I'd always thought you would need a telescope as they are millions of miles away. I never took much notice of the skies above London as you could rarely see any stars. It was only during the first covid lockdown that they became a lot clearer and someone told me that the pinkish one was actually Mars.

There are only a couple of 'dark' places in UK where the night sky is more visible. When I was on holiday in a village in Crete I could see countless numbers of stars in the Milky Way in our Galaxy. It was breathtaking. I could understand why ancient civilisations put so much belief in the night skies.

There are trillions of stars in our Galaxy, and trillions upon trillionsof galaxies in the Universe. Most stars have at least one planet orbiting them.

I think in the US there are more 'dark' places over deserts and less inhabited areas where the enormity of our Galaxy can be seen.

cool pic

I only used phone camera. I got interested in the stars and planets during the first covid lockdown. The huge reduction in traffic pollution meant I could see the night skies above London a lot more clearly. Previously the air pollution along with light pollution largely obscured the stars, also the UK weather means skies above London are cloudy a lot of the time. And I didn't know you can actually see most of the planets in our solar system with the naked eye. I saw Mars then for the first time, it's a pinkish colour from the red dust storms which swirl around it. I was waking up at 3am most nights to see it through my bedroom window.

Venus is the brightest object. I had previously thought what I saw was a star but it is a planet. A bit smaller than Earth it is bright because it is enveloped by freezing sulphuric acid and acidic crystal clouds which reflect 70% of the Sun's light. The Moon only reflects 10% as it is grey rock.

Fascinating subject which puts into perspective our brief mortal existence.
