Either Thai with Englsih subs or English with Thai subs works for me. Actually Thai with English subs is slightly better for me as I like it when I hear a Thai word that I know associated with action on the screen. What I really hate is movies that dubbed. I want to hear the original actor's voice and want the lips to match the language.

The M Generation Card is a loyalty card for Major Cineplex. Currently 60+ cardholders get to see movies from Mon-Fri for 60 baht. At one time it was just on Tuesdays. Or maybe Tuesday are discounted for everybody. You also get a free movie during your birthday week. The card costs 150 per year (I think). If you are under 60, the card costs 50 baht and you get a 20 baht discount every time you go. So a 150 baht seat would jsut cost 130 baht Lots of other confusing benefits that make the old La Bamba card seem straightforward! There is an automated ticket machine that most people, both Thailand farang don't know how to use so they have an employee to help you at the machine. The question is what happens when a senior uses his card to buy multiple tickets? I just bought a card for my teerak today figuring we'll use it enough to cover the 50 baht fee. Anyway, the movie employee was helping us with the machine and she indicated it would be 130 baht (free for the birthday boy and 130 for my teerak but the way she processed the cards turned out free for me and 60 baht for her. A mistake in my favor that she had no incentive to correct and would have been very time consuming for her to do so. Actually, I'm told that, at least in the States, theatres make very little from ticket sales and the bulk of their money comes from overpriced popcorn. So theatre employees might search bags for food yet not give a damn about moving from theatre to another in a multiplex. Not quite sure if one actually know how to book online with preloaded cash what would be the price of the second ticket? Figuring out stuff like this in your home country is difficult enough but almost impossible to nail down accurately if speaking Thinglish.

We went to see The Cave tonight and we both liked it. It about the Wild Boars being trapped in the cave. Perhaps a different director would do a better job but the subject matter interested us. I'm jsut grateful when I go see a movie that doesn't suck.

I reckon some bars have non-aggression pacts. I won't be taking any bets! Nothing against Sweethearts but I wouldn't be going to their party even if it was on a different night. If a bar is having a party it doesn't affect my decision to go there too much although i am somewhat less likely to go on a party night. Furthermore, I have little interest in going to any of the ladyboy bars in town but occasionally I'll get dragged to bars by my mates, which is fine for an occasional night out. Some would say, "when in Sodom, do as the Sodomites do". But if I'm not going to interact with the staff then I might as well be in the Beer Garden or at a sports bar with the added bonus that I am not disappointing ladies by not buying them a drink. But Stoolie's get together and Teya's bash are both exceptions that I am looking forward to.

This was a earthquake this morning on the Thai-Laos border. It was 6.1 on the Richter scale. Some report feeling mild tremors in Bangkok.

I'll be there. Where is the other party by the way?

We use lots of water and luckily I have a nearby water filter machine that costs 1 baht a liter. Never had a problem with that water. For those who insist on bottled water though. FamilyMart usually charges 20 baht for two 1.5 liter bottles of Singha water. That's 10 baht per bottle instead of 14 baht if you just buy one.

Thanks for the heads up BBG! Beats me though as I rarely look at my Spam Box. But it wouldn't surprise me if a company were to add another revenue stream by selling email addies. But then I guess it could come from anywhere. Hey guys, in case it's new to you, Lazada is like Amazon for Southeast Asia with quick delivery.

BANGKOK, Nov 18 (Reuters) - The strength of Thailand's baht is a concern for the trade-reliant economy which is expected lag the central bank's growth forecast for this year, the Bank of Thailand governor said on Monday. "We are very worried about the baht," BOT Governor Veerathai Santiprabhob told a seminar in the southern province of Songkhla. The baht THB=TH is Asia's best performing currency this year, rising 7.7% against the dollar, underpinned by the country's large current account surplus. This year's economic growth is expected undershoot the central bank's forecast of 2.8%, Veerathai said.

Perfect location for a wash!!

Beach Road will be closed to vehicular traffic on Friday, November 29th and Saturday, November 30th from 4PM to midnight for the Fireworks Festival. This should will impact traffic elsewhere especially Soi Buakhao.

These two ladyboys were just released from the monkey house a couple weeks ago and the German tourist shown on the motobike brought them back to his Soi Buakhao guesthouse. When he woke up his cash, phone, and gold chain was missing. Looks like they will be going back to the Monkey House and am impressed that the police went to the effort of checking an enroute CCTV. Big Brother is watching you!

Well I finally made it to the head office of Super Rich Thailand (Green)! I felt like the way some guys feel when they finally get to go to a ladyboy bar they've been reading about on a forum. I almost came in my pants! This is where you can get the very best rates for most currencies in Thailand. If taking the BTS, get off at Chitlom and walk away from Nana and towards Siam Square. Make a right on Rajdamri. If you reach the canal boat station then you went slightly too far. From the airport link take it to the next to last stop which is Ratchaprarop. Head towards Central World. Cross Petchaburi and then cross the canal and make the first left. The Head Office of Super Rich Thailand has a rate for USD that is usually about 3 satang better than Vasu and 5 satang better than TT Exchange in Pattaya. Probably quite good for other currencies too. It's quite an efficient operation. You walk in. They copy your passport and then you wait for the next available teller. Super Rich 1965 (Orange) is across the soi and there is third place nearby so easy to check the rates. Although I doubt if these other places have a policy of better rates than SuperRich Thailand but at a specific hour if the rate has just changed at one of the place, one of the competitors might be better. Buy/Sell spreads looked pretty tight for most currencies. Nepal was an exception. Probably in Nepal you should exchange rupees for USD and then in Thailand exchange those USD for baht.

I have no idea and there appears to be no takers so I will throw out an easier (at least for me) one.

I'll guess North by Northwest. Maybe there was a toilet on the train?

It's only easy if you know it!

Patpong Museum • Building 5, 2nd floor below Black Pagoda Bar, Patpong Soi 2 Open daily, 10am to 11 pm; 091 887 6829 • Tickets are 350 baht for visitors and include headphones offering narration in English, Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish • The entrance fee includes one free beer or soft drink • Museum souvenirs are on sale, including ping pong balls

Anti-trans memes are constantly showing up on my Facebook Newsfeed posted by ignorant assholes. These often have to do with transgender toilets and transwomen competing in women's sports. I reckon the sports issue is a thorny one but these ignoramuses post their memes so gleefully because Trans are on the other team in America's culture war. Now I'm starting to see the Trans Day of Remembrance being snickered at and being negatively compared to Veteran's Day yet these same bigots oppose transpeople serving in the military. I think it is easy to compartmentalize our experiences in Southeast Asia and not identify with the very real everyday struggles that our trans brothers and sisters experience back home. Transgender Remembrance Day honors people who have been murdered for just being born that way.

Of course Mr SP!

Guess I'm spoiled by the outdoor barber chairs in Phnom Penh where I can get a haircut for 30 baht. Long gone are the days when the Soi Hollywood barbers charged 60 baht. Now it's 100. But the other day I discovered a barber shop still priced at 60 baht. As you hit Soi 17 from Soi Day Night there is a soi that connects Soi 17 with Soi Yensabai (this connecting soi may also be known as Yensabai despite a 90 degree turn). It doesn't even look like a barber shop but a nice lady cut my hair. Can't vouch for her expertise because you don't have to be highly skilled to give a buzz cut (crew cut). She also does 50 baht manicures but my girlfriend handles that.

Between Dolphin Roundabout and the Woodlands Resort, Close enough. Point for BB!

So where are the Germans?
