  1. I have not been on a tuk tuk since my early days. Once bitten twice shy. Rode from Soi Cowboy to Nana. Took longer than walking and got ripped off.

    Thanks RX. Yes the storage room is to the left as you enter Grand Business Inn. I had fogotten about that.
  3. Well, I just proved how dumb I am. Was checking out websites, trying to book a ticket with paypal funds I had. Some sites said they did, but when it came to payment they did not. Then got onto one which did allow paypal. So filled out all the info, clicked on paypal to make the payment. Nothing happened. Tried again and again. Nothing. So called their customer service. Yes it should go through. Tried while she hung on. Again and again. Nothing. She put me through to a supervisor. Went through it all again. Then she said what currency are you using. I said AUD, the same as what the costings are. Oh no, you have to pay in USD. So back to paypal and change the currency to USD. Still no luck. Oh well she says, it doesnt look as though it will work does it. I told her to go and I would keep trying. No luck. Ok, back to the drawing board. Finally found a site that had an ofice in Aus. Found the fare I wanted, (or so I thought). Paid for it and I was a happy man. Well for about 30 minutes until I read the booking that had come through. I had booked the wrong fucking flight!!!!. There were two flights with that airline. Different departure times but same arrival at the time I wanted. I picked the one that took two days and not one day which is when I was to meet my friends. KHGRVVHHHB!!!!!!!!. Normally on other sites like Skyscanner (which I use a lot), they have a plus sign with 1 or 2 beside the arrival time to designate whether the trip is 1 or 2 days. This did not. Then comes more fun. Have you ever tried to make contact with a website that has only chat contact?. Bloody stupid. Gave up and sent an email to head office. Got a reply back saying yes we can do something for you, but it will cost, They went through the likely costs. I asked for the cost and how I go about buying the correct ticket. Think I am wasting my time. The reviews of this ticketing site are not good. Just have to suck it up and hope I can bludge a ride of about 2 hours from Rome to the lake. Old age is a bastard!. Mind you it is the first time it has happened.

    Thanks Pdogg. My bags are huge. Haha. I mean what I am carrying. One is 2.0m long and the other 1.4m long. Will check it out.
  5. I recognize the theme of this discussion, but as to the fact that there are less young Thai lb's,(I was going to say young men, but thought better of it), moving to BKK or Pattaya. Yes, maybe, but the other two sources, Laos and Cambodia are nowhere near in the state of progression as Thailand is. They need an income like there is no tomorrow. I am sure that they will fill the gaps,(excuse the pun), for some years to come. Geez, I nearly spelt it cum. Maybe the BM's will find the changes that are coming, as much from social changes as those instigated by the authorities who have made no secret of wanting to remove the stigma of the bar scene, a bit off putting to their way of life. There is always flux and change. Just part of life. I started off in 2015, so really am a newbie. If it wasn't for c-----d I would have spent more time in Thailand. That really did throw a spanner in the works for all types of business, including that one that we indulge in. I am back in May and should be able to check it out although it was only 3 months ago when I was last there. I certainly did not have trouble having a good time. Who knows how long it will last for me. I am getting on. I proved it today. You may want to read about my adventures in booking my tickets.
  6. That's what I understood. It is not easy. When I made inquiries about running a business through a well known falang legal office in BKK, they made it clear that it would not be easy. I could not open a van door or put petrol in. I would be caught if I had a non Thai passport.

    In that area I alway used Superrich Green, but I see it is closed. God knows how I am going to manage getting around the airport on my next trip. I will have more stuff to carry than on a gypsy caravan. Might put it in storage for 9 days. Will check out the rates. Only a short stay this time unfortunately. But enought to get into trouble!. I am off the leash now so watch out. If in early May you see some news about an old falang found dead in a room,it might be me!.
  8. So you are suggesting that these clothing shops are run by Indian immigrants that have Thai citizenship?.. That is the only conclusion that I can come to.
  9. What has puzzled more for some time is, how do these Indian business men get to stay in Thailand and run their businesses?. Some years ago I looked into running a small business there and got told flatout that there was no chance. Had to conducted by Thai nationals. Do I smell a rat or not?.
  10. Could be, but she did ask my age before adding the conditions. I think a bit of narcissism was at play.
  11. In the last photo, that could almost be BB sitting under the fan!. Cici looking good in her 30's. Wonder why the breakup with her bf?. They were running a bar together. Now there's a reason!. Lydia I have seen in a few of her videos. She's ok. Not my style but what the heck.
  12. I remember that night very well, even though it is dragging up the past The two scrooges,(or other more appropriate owners/managers names), could not include Sophia's birthday in that evenings celebrations even though it was only 3 days prior! Some things you dont forget. Bastards!.
  13. I would hope that guys on this forum are not fanning the flames of increased prices.
  14. You are right. I finished my last trip off in BKK and they were what I was paying
  15. Well, that is some news. Didn't expect that. I have a sort of a connection with Cici even though I have never had a meeting with her. Think I might have mentioned it before. Had a meeting arranged for a LT visit, but had to call it off due to an unexpected business meeting. I was really looking forward to it, even though it was way above my usual budget. One downer of our planned meeting was the stipulation that we were not to be seen in public due to my age. It was all going to occur in her room! Food and all. A pity because I would have been the youngest 59 year old she would meet!. Never mind, all water under the bridge.
  16. I have argued on this theme for some time. As long as idiots keep paying big money the girls will keep on asking for even bigger. It seems to be on a never ending uphill climb. So come on guys just pay what is reasonable. 2000 st and 3000 lt. It might take some time and a few knockbacks but eventually they will see sense. If you think they gave great service give more at the end. Simple. Then the girls begin to realize that they get paid for performance.
  17. With that photo, have lost the enthusiasm !.
  18. Think you are right going by the ears and the bracelet. Looks very yummy. Love the boobs!. Cant stop looking at her. What is her name?.
  19. Sorry, I know this is an old post, but a lot of lb's have a back entrance!.
  20. I remember seeing the sign for LB Pharmacy. Thought at the time that it was either a direct reference to lb's or had another connection, less apparent.
  21. Please explain which is the sister forum. Which to which. I thought it was BKK to Pattaya. Not ladyboy review.
  22. Sorry guys, I have to withdraw Gina from nomination. I have seen a porn video with Ponybuny in a 3some. She has the smallest cock I have seen!. Cant have that on a GLOAT!
