  1. Talk about having two bob each way - on one hand conservative and religious; but on the other hand a thriving sex industry (as we know, so badly hit by the pandemic, with virtually no government assistance to so many). I think it will be a hard slog to change the laws in Thailand.
  2. What I can tell you now is as it was before covid brought it all to a halt. Anything new, when it starts up again, I'll try to update. Betting: All totalizator betting, minimum 50 baht (and multiples of 50 baht). Win, Place (1st, 2nd or 3rd), Quinella (1st and 2nd, in any order), Trifecta (1st, 2nd, 3rd in order). Only on course and only on the current race (you can't put a bet on a race later than the one with the horses on the track). On the screens, approximate odds are shown for 10 baht Form guides: Along Henri Dunant Road (avenue) there were many stands selling form guides, mostly Thai, but there was an English guide for 100 baht, but it only gave Bangkok form; some Thai guides cover form at all tracks (e.g. Chiang Mai, Udon Thani and Korat, as well as Bangkok) Getting there: I'd suggest BTS to Siam, and walk or motorbike taxi down Henri Dunant Road to the gates. Best view is at 200 baht but 100 baht is ok if you like looking up the straight from past the winning post. I'm not the resident expert, just a bloke who has spent a lifetime at the races. As I've said before, Royal Ascot or Randwick it is not, but you can have an interesting day out for a small outlay - something different. Anyway, I'll try to find out what is the current set up, and also for Korat if/when it starts up also
  3. I'm led to believe that horse racing will (maybe) start again in Bangkok and Korat in the next month or so. I haven't been to Korat yet (a sand track) but the Royal Bangkok Sports Club has a grass track, where they raced every second Sunday. I'll keep an eye on race dates, but here's a reminder of the bangkok track.
  4. I saw her (Donut) when I was in the bar the other night. She looked lovely, but I was otherwise engaged.
  5. Geez mate. stop picking on me! I had to borrow a shirt because i stayed an extra day and didn't have an extra shirt in my pack. Back on topic, the bar is all SP said it is, and more. Service staff: excellent. Ladies:excellent. What's not to like about the bar? I'd like to wish Iain and Nam every success in the new location, and I'll be in there again on my next Bangkok visit.
  6. Yes it was me, mate. Great night as you can see. Hope it isn't too long before you can get back, though I guess every day is one day too long at present
  7. Yes indeed it was me; and yes bbg, all is forgiven. It really was a very enjoyable night, plus I knew you were distracted.

    Coronavirus

    I suppose it depends on the definition, but thinking of Australia, . Melbourne, with some postcodes "locked down" or deemed "hotspots", as against state borders being closed.
  9. Yes. I do. Apart from the ones you mentioned, all other buttons are there to confuse the user. Can't have viewers knowing more than the smart-arse tech people. I think I'm getting old and crabby like BBG.
  10. No shame, Jimmy; just sharing your perversion. Great video mate. And I also liked Woodie's video, so I suppose I really am a random pervert. Couldn't send a postcard as I couldn't write too well after watching the videos.
  11. I wish she was in Phitsanulok, 555.
  12. Yes, SP, I agree with you. With the financial situation as it is, I can only admire the girls for turning up bright and smiling, and doing their best to make the night a success. It's the first live streaming I've seen, so I'll look again before my next visit to the bar in person.
  13. Hi and welcome. It's different for me as I live in Thailand, but up north. I'm just back from 6 nights in Pattaya, and I did enjoy the time there. Not as it was, of course, but still very enjoyable. Best of luck with your travel plans, whenever you make it here.

    Coronavirus

    I was reading this in Bangkok Post today, and the explanations seemed to be trying to not count as local transmissions, (and of course the government would not want local transmissions) but if they were all clear after quarantine, when they went for their fit-to-fly papers, they're positive, it makes me wonder. And then what about their contacts since going home? More to follow, I'd suggest.
  15. This is a shot in the dark - could it be Flo - Jo? (can't remember her full name). If it is, Olympics would've been 1988 or 1992. If I'm wrong, then I've no idea.
  16. Emmy, thank you for a great night at the bar with Stoolpusher and the other visitors you mentioned. And the girls of course. As you know I made an appointment for the Tuesday to see Mind again. Lovely girl; I hope she enjoyed the evening as much as i did. Best wishes for the days to come; and hope to see you at the bar again soon.
  17. Great photos, SP, and you and Dao must be so pleased with the result. Well done, and many happy years to be spent there.
  18. Emmy, yes, a great sign. And Teya is a beautiful model. Sorry I cannot get down for the big night , but best wishes for a Very Happy Birthday, and for the official opening night for Emmy's Bar. I will be thinking of you.
  19. Woodie, you knew I'd respond.. Yes, I stay at Chaiyapoon Inn most times I come down. I think good value, and very near Zaza Massage as a bonus.

    Coronavirus

    Incredible isn't it? Everything was going so positive, and now we have a bloke who IS positive. Heads should roll.

    Coronavirus

    Exactly. We haven't got many cases here, so let's bring some in from outside. I'm stunned.
  22. Great news SP. Best wishes to Zaza Massage in these difficult times.
  23. I couldn't give it a "like", and because it is serious, I wouldn't give a laugh either...... but honestly, an evening in a bar under these rules would hardly be exciting for a patron, and would be absolute hell for the bar owner. The only potential winners would be the BIB, who I'm sure would be only too happy to jump in on any wrong-doing. And you can't even play pool. May as well stay home; at least I can walk the dog without social distancing.
