Hearing now at least 21 dead. Still an active shooter.

Hard for anyone to criticize you when you know what you're walking into eyes wide open. Besides some of the best things in life are "mistakes".. like our fondness of ladyboys.

No mayday, just lost contact

China Reports Over 1,280 Coronavirus Cases, Death Toll At 41 What I don't know so far by reading any of the articles is what is the mortality rate?

Actually I kinda like the MSM telling you the stuff like you have to be careful of it. Better than just ignoring it or sugar coating it. I paid attention to SARS in 2003 but I didn't to MERS since media ignored that and was all into election fever. One of the flights I took to Thailand at the time was Emirates and there were 2 people coughing like hell on the plane. I ignored it.. but when I reached Patts, I was sick for a week.. really sick.. not some type of cold that Tylenol/ Sara could cure and I made my ladyboys sick too. It might have been MERS but I just don't know.

I find my Honda PCX more fun to sit on vs any bar with such attitude or the ones that bill pad.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak Snakes -- the Chinese krait and the Chinese cobra -- may be the original source of the newly discovered coronavirus that has triggered an outbreak of a deadly infectious respiratory illness in China this winter. The researchers used an analysis of the protein codes favored by the new coronavirus and compared it to the protein codes from coronaviruses found in different animal hosts, like birds, snakes, marmots, hedgehogs, manis, bats and humans. Surprisingly, they found that the protein codes in the 2019-nCoV are most similar to those used in snakes. In the case of this 2019 coronavirus outbreak, reports state that most of the first group of patients hospitalized were workers or customers at a local seafood wholesale market which also sold processed meats and live consumable animals including poultry, donkeys, sheep, pigs, camels, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs and reptiles. However, since no one has ever reported finding a coronavirus infecting aquatic animals, it is plausible that the coronavirus may have originated from other animals sold in that market.

I like beer Leo the most in Thailand out of the big 3 and Coors Light is the closest approximation I can find in the US. If anyone has a better approximation of Leo.. please share by all means in a PM.

More Chinese bus tours please!

43000 for first boob job in 2012. And surprise surprise 220000 for repairing our last trip (with discount).

Good to hear. My fav lb is having some issues after 7 years.. capsular contracture. To my surprise even though boob jobs cost is low for the first time in Thailand.. they sure love to charge an arm and leg for replacing and repairing.. infact it was so much I just said no to the cost since it might actually be worthwhile to have it fixed stateside if the prices are the same.

One of the reasons I really like this forum is because I don't get chastised for having a budget lower than some two week millionaires. My past trip my biggest single expense was the room.. I tried finding something about 6-7k but settled on 10k with a nice view and walking distance from beach road. Other expenses are mostly meals and souveneirs though I kept it down in cost this time. Got most of my shopping done in bangkok and to my surprise if you want to buy clothes, they're actually cheaper in bangkok in bulk than buying in patts from the stalls or night markets. I might have to find where to pick up ladyboys in BKK without barfines as patts is much easier for that. If you guys know spots, lemme know.

Are they mostly tops or easy to find bottoms too?

Been there many times. Only gripe is the road from Nong Khai to Tha Bo was just horrible and riding the bike gave my rear a bigger workout than a ladyboy. Hope they have fixed it. Otherwise the area is great. Have fun.

Happy New Decade everyone. My resolution is to make it a better decade than the last.

Love your reporting FF.
