People are often confusing the Samsung Note 7 (exploding battery) with the Galaxy S7 (great phone, no issues) I switched to the S7 a few weeks back and have been very happy. I got a good deal at my local Samsung shop, they were doing it for 20K and they chucked in the wireless charger, which to be honest I've hardly used. The camera on it is for sure the best I've had on any phone, I stopped taking out my point and click as I feel the S7 more than holds it's own as a "bar" cam.

I was channel chopping the other week and stumbled upon live televised Cock fighting. Made a change from the usual Thai Soap opera and talent contests.

When I took my other half to HK she was dragged off for an extra interview at Immigration. Luckily in and out in about 5 minutes, I loitered in the area so they could see we were together.

She's currently operating from Paragon Bar in Hua Hin Soi 80.

CIB had their last night in Soi 7 yesterday, so they will be opening in Soi 10 today.

She is still in a relationship, I know the boyfriend and see them around sometimes.

It's been shut for over a year now.

The thing is with that Nataree raid, there are about 5 -6 of those really huge, high end soapie places at Huai Kwang near the MRT station. The owners of Nataree must have fallen behind on contributions for them to get raided and no one else.

I've spent a bit of time there myself for Songkrans and a boat racing festival as that's where the other half is from. She did ask me if I wanted to go for Rocket Festival, I said no fukin way! Every time I've been there they are already on the Thai whiskey at sunrise, adding fireworks into the mix didn't seem like a good idea.

Georgey - I don't know your plans, but Check In Bar is in Bangkok, not Pattaya.

Her name is Noey, She's a "veteran" of CIB and I think one of the only 2 girls left from when it first started as a Soi 5 Alcocart in 2013.

I've done a total cache clear out on Chrome and I'm in now. Still had to sign in to website first and then the forum as if they are separate entities.

I am finding myself stuck in "sign in purgatory" on Chrome. I'm posting this from Firefox. On Chrome it shows me as being logged in at the top of the screen but it still wants me to sign in to the forum on the middle of the screen. I try to do that, but although my username and password are correct, it doesn't sign me in and then it's just a continuous loop of being sent back to the main page again when I try to sign in again.

I thought BFS was the greatest thing since sliced bread the first time I used it but the balloon soon burst on a subsequent trip. I got through their speedy immigration quickly that day but then waited for ages at the baggage carousel and saw the guy I sat next to on the plane already on his way out with suitcase on a trolley - he'd been through the standard immigration queue.

Just doing some attachment testing to see if I have this right when inserting multiple pics on the new forum software Ming & Cat The Human ladyboy-apede Pay and Everest Na Group shots

I keep having to do a double sign in First at the top right of the screen and then sign in again to the forum underneath the webcam banners.

I spotted the PC Air plane still parked on the tarmac at Swampy last year.

As SoiBoy was saying it's all about keeping up the illusion. We are well aware we're not their first ever customer of all time, their first customer of the day if we're lucky. But if you are sitting the bar and you see she's only just returning downstairs with the previous customer it's a little bit of a passion killer, plus it also places doubt's in your mind if she's likely to be able to put in much of a performance so soon after the last one, it kind of breaks the 4th wall a bit too much.

Remember one in Hua Hin I thought was quite cute, I came back from the toilets amd she was leading an archetypal warthog up the stairs to paradise. Instantly crossed off the mental "to do" list. Me and another BM infamously stirred each others porridge with the same girl one time, it must have barely been 30 minutes apart but we didn't realise this until we were comparing battle notes the next night!

The Two Ronnies....now there are none. Always appreciated how the genius of how their humour could be quite smutty without being out and out smutty

I think Tomcat is spot on, it's something maybe you need to experience once. For maybe the first day you think "this is fun" but towards the end of the first day when you get soaked for 1823823th time and the powder goes in your eyes you start to think "fuck this".

Something else to bear in mind is a lot of small businesses shut down during that period due to the aforementioned staff migration to Isaan-land.

Bangkok is actually way quieter during Songkran because people migrate North to see the family, thus leaving the city a bit deserted. Places like Khao San Road, Silom and Siam (main tourist traps) are the main action spots for multiple drenchings.
