Hi Rukki, Images posted after the major upgrade of few months ago should be large. However most images of pics posted before the upgrade are thumbnails that need to be clicked to enlarge.

Question for the techies out there.........If a laptop is closed but not powered down can it be harmed by an airport xray scan?

You have a 6th sense for that sort of thing Sir Duke!

I'll be back in Patts in a week or so Luung.

I've heard that the possibility of a Trump presidency is hurting the loonie. USD just broke 48 pisos at Fields exchange booths.

If looking for a budget hotel near Mango Square, I'd recommend Fuente Pension House as it's only a few miutes walk from where the ladyboy freelancers congregate. The hotel has a unique system where you get the room for 24 hotels so if you check itn at let's say 4PM you don't have to check out until 4PM which can be advantageous at times. If using Booking.com we'd appreciate if you use the links on our sister site Asia Hotel and Travel as at no extra cost to you, we earn a small commission which helps defray the operating costs of LBR.

Jet Radar is a very user friendly website and a great way to compare the prices of different airlines. Many guys are about ready to book their winter trip; this is a good way to start your search. Jet Radar

Hunny Pot Bar on Soi Honey does trips to Ban Chang most Tuesdays. Van leaves at 2PM and you get back to Pattaya around 9PM. 300 baht. Pop into the HunnyPot for details and reservations.

Well then a good alternative is: 1) Take a cab to the Woraburi on Soi 4. You can often get a good deal there, http://www.asiahotelandtravel.com/index.php/topic/2-bangkok-accommodation/page-4 2) Have a few beers at the Nana bars. 3) Take a ladyboy from the street for 700 baht 4) Take the Bell Bus straight from the Woraburi to your hotel in Pattaya. Bus is scheduled for 1:30 with hotel pickup at 12:30 which is perfect for the 12:00 check out time. A little more expensive than the airport hotel but you hit the ground running. But beware, One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble!

The old man tax is 100% voluntary. Generally, what farangs are willing to pay is much more than what many ladyboys are willing to accept which leads to a wide range of possible prices. No doubt what we can get in Southeast Asia is a much better value than back in Farangland, so much so that we are willing to spring for airfare to get here.

I think many guys who are on a tight budget are avoiding barfines these days. Since most ladyboys have smartphones and are active on social media it's pretty easy to avoid the middleman. Besides the barfine you're also looking at the cost of at least one drink and one ladydrink. I happen to be on a late schedule so grabbing someone outside of Nana when the bars closed is perfect for a guy like me. An offer of 700 baht is usually accepted. But if there is reluctance or attempted negotiation, no need to have an unhappy ladyboy and best to just move on to one of the many that find 700 baht acceptable. But we're all on different budgets and for some guys the extra costs associated with the bars are well worth it to some guys. There is a convenience factor of having the ladyboy you want in the bar exactly when you want her. A ladyboy who is barfined is more accountable and less likely to cause trouble or steal. It also depends whether or not you enjoy ladyboy bars or if it is a means to an end. If you find the bars fun, then why not spend some money if you have it. I suppose if barfines were 100 baht and ladydrinks were 50 baht more guys would opt for the bars. But with current pricing many guys are just not willing to do the barfine/ladydrink thing. But there are situations where even guys are limited budgets are willing to splurge for convenience. So what are the alternatives? 1) Phone numbers of the girls you have from previous trips. Some might only be available before or after a bar closes but others are unrestricted freelancers who can see you at any time. 2) Facebook 3) Thai Friendly is a useful resource. It's not really for me, but many guys enjoy the process and chatting up girls online. Thai Friendly is free but limits you to one message every 10 minutes. So some guys try to get contact details such as Line quickly and then use Line to chat to the girls. But for convenience (just like a barfine) some guys upgrade to paid membership. If you join Thai Friendly, please use our links on LBR as we get a commission on upgraded memberships which helps defray the operating costs of our Forum. Thai Friendly If you don't want to pay barfines in Manila or want girls from out the way places in the Philippines then Pina Love is a good option. Same software as TF Pina Love

There might be certain circumstances where one might want to use Travelex to transfer money. But probably not the best for most of you. http://www.asiahotelandtravel.com/index.php/topic/434-transfering-money-overseas/?p=1020

The last one is at 10PM. It goes only to the bus station on Pattaya North Road. Perhaps a good option is getting a good night's sleep at the inexpensive Great Residence and choose the option of two way airport transport. Arrive in Patts refreshed the next day, timing your departure to catch the Bell Bus so you don't have to lug bags around Jomtien. Great Residence I've stayed at this hotel and would stay again. Great Residence

Here's the Bell Bus website which is also listed above by xyzzy:: http://www.belltravelservice.com/shared-transfer/ Here's the Jomtien Bus website: http://airportpattayabus.com Note the last two busses from the airport, the 9PM and 10PM don't stop at Pattaya Klang, Pattaya Tai, and Jomtien. Instead they leave you at the Pattaya Nua bus station. There are not many baht busses cruising Pattaya Nua and the parked baht busses try to overcharge, If you have never been to Pattaya before, I don't recommend this bus if it's early enough to grab the Bell Bus. If you get off at Pattaya Klang or Pattaya Tai you have to cross the overpass over Sukhumvit which is not pleasant with luggage in the rain. But the hotelwhere I used stay was only a minute off Pattaya Tai so I often used this bus. If getting off in Jomtien, ignore the parked baht busses in the lot. Instead cross the road and hop on a baht bus headed to Pattaya.

I saw a couple by the river a few months ago. Some work at the sleazier massage shops. And I saw one on Pub Street. Siem Reap is not a good place to go ladyboy hunting.

I worked at 7 WTC, the third building to go down. Just like Hefe, in a stroke of good luck, our company moved out of there around Memorial Day of that year. What a beautiful day, stopped at a coffee truck to buy a couple dozen donuts to bring to work as I had won a football pool that week. Then went underground. When i came back up a bunch of people were looking up at the sky. Looked up and saw smoke pour out of one of the towers. Somehow the seriousness of the situation did not register. Went up to my office and lots of people looking at the fire as we had an excellent view from a high floor. After a minute, went to send out a short email saying "the donuts have arrived". About a minute later one woman was going hysterical and I held her and told her to try to relax and breathe. I went to the window and people were saying a plane crashed into the second tower. A few minutes later we evacuated the building but the train wasn't running so about 10 of us went to a nearby coworker's apartment and watched the news for a few hours. One way over a buddy said, look how strong those buildings are, they may be burning but nothing can bring them down, not the finest prediction. In the late afternoon, went back to my office as I couldn't yet get back across the river. Office was deserted except for one other friend and we were hanging out watching 7 WTC, our old home, as we heard it may be going down but after a while got tired of staring at the static scene and was reading news on the net. We left the building in the evening when the train was running again. I asked her if she wanted to stay with me that night. She declined. I was never in danger but a day I will never forget.

You sure are Luung! Luung vs MMA Ruskie. No contest. Lots og guys have asked about stoner bars so good to know where to find one.

You and four ladyboys find a 1000 baht note on the floor of Lita Bar. None of you have change, so you agree to play a game of chance to divide the money probabilistically. The five of you sit around a table. The game is played in turns. Each turn, one of three things can happen, each with an equal probability: The 1000 baht note can move one position to the left, one position to the right, or the game ends and the person with the 1000 baht in front of him or her wins the game. You have the biggest dick, so the1000 baht starts in front of you. What are the chances you win the money?
