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.

Question 6. I had no idea; looked it up out of curiosity. So I won't answer. And I won't listen again either.

Thanks Big Tel. It did seem hard to justify on both counts, so all good to go. Appreciate your info, mate.

I think that's probably a good decision (says me, the instant expert). From what I've read, many places are open, but the client base must be pretty thin. My other thought is that there's no harm in waiting a little longerto see how things go. Best wishes, SP, and to the staff as well. And Zaza won't be dodgy at all when it's up and running.

Yes, I heard this on the news tonight. I've always gone by bus from Phitsanulok to Bangkok and / or Pattaya over the last 10 years; no problems. Now my plan to go down (when things start up again) will need some reviewing. I heard it was ok to go by train to Bangkok; and flying? I'll look into both in due course, but bus has always been convenient. Aah well, one more bump in the road.

That's absolutely brilliant SP. I've never seen anyone I know planting rice before. Better than anything on TV, so well done.

"Do as I say ... not as I do" seems to be the message here. We went to Pizza Company yesterday and had to sit well apart (at same table). No such problem for Mr Anutin.

Yes, it's all a mystery at present. Best wishes to SP and Dao, and I hope a safe opening will happen soon. I may not be first in the door, but the bus from Phitsanulok is on standby.

The highlight of the day was hanging out the washing - staying home, doing the right thing. Bloody boring. The second highlight was getting the washing in. I thought to myself, I've got to do something more exciting. So I started watching replays of greyhound racing from Ipswich and Bundaberg (in Queensland, Australia). Lo and behold I see a dog named "Pattaya Girl". Not that she was exciting, as she finished well down the track. Short of building a dog track in Phitsanulok, I hope restrictions can be lifted soon. I can't be hanging washing out every day for enjoyment. Life has become just one day after another. I do feel for those in a far more serious state than mine, but geez, for the average person , life has gone to the toilet.

Thanks duke. A shame that it didn't work out. I thought it reflected well on PP in that he didn't bag Steff out (other than the fact he didn't show up). Ah well, maybe more will come to light given time. The "like" is for your post, mate, not the content of the livestream

Duke, I must've been asleep. Can you give a bit more info please? I enjoyed the Pattaya pariah episodes, and have no idea what this is all about. Thanks, if it's ok.

Well, good for you mate. Apology to Woodie was a nice gesture. And we all have bad days, even when English is our first language. No problem; we move on. All the best Duncan.

Don't worry about it Woodie. I actually did look it up on google, because not all of us are rocket scientists like our friend Duncan. But he's from Germanistan, so that may explain his rather short, terse answer. Politeness is not taught in schools there. I hope Big Brother is watching him closely.

Fair comment Woodie.Slow horses and fast women - the story of my life. If only it had been the other way round. But even so, I'd be prepared to take the punt.

Like music, a very personal choice. So just my view - being old(er) who knows how many chances are left for me? Getting down there from Phitsanulok is the challenge, but once there l'd take a punt on it. 3rd parties i see as minimal risk, and l thinkif l'm going to do it, l'd do whatever happens. But l'd only do a pretty one 'cos they're safe . I put that last bit in 'cos many years ago an army mate of mine used that logic with a gg; and fronted the doctor a few days later.

Thanks again, duke, for posting. Another distinctive shirt on display again in today's episode.

Thanks duke. I do like most of the Pattaya Pariah posts. This one is ok; it's missed the real challenge though, what will happen in the coming weeks and months.

Expat shirts like this one in the video should not be allowed. Like the shows though; watch every day. (Thanks duke).

When I was young (can't remember how young, but many years ago) I heard Little Richard and thought he was great. So naive in those days, and I used to sing along with Tutti Frutti, not seeing anything sexual in it - just great music of the time. And I knew nothing of his turbulent life. Good times. RIP

Hello Venus! More like Hello Penis. A catchy tune, but I was a bit distracted at times (like most of the time).

It was very nice to see that Captain Tom made the Thai TV last night, with a short clip of him doing part of his walk around his garden. Even my other half commented on what a great thing he had done. Time will pass and memories will fade - that's life I suppose - but I hope he will be remembered for a long time.

A man who never set out to be a hero, but who has become one. I've just watched the video above, and am typing this with misty eyes. Congratulations Captain Tom.

I live in Thailand, but had no idea this show existed till you started posting them duke. I should get out more (except I can't). I've started watching every week-day.

The video itself I found quite relaxing. The mix of music went well, and I enjoyed it. Hopefully we can all get back there before too long. Thanks duke

There's some truth in what you say, but as in life generally, it really depends on the actual people involved. The effort the guy puts in; the relationship itself; the rules (written or unwritten) and the give and take that makes it all work (or not). I'm learning more Thai; my other half is learning more English. We have our moments, sure, but so do many "normal" relationships. I've written this, not having seen the movie - just from my own life, which is still going. I'll look into the movie more now though.
