Woodie

Only if we get free ST's with the staff!!!!.

Yeah, but if you saw that video of the Thaiger news, the pommie guy was all doom and gloom about bars etc.. He reckons it only be Chinese bus tourists. God help us!.

That really describes Facebook etc. Very funny.

Spent a very pleasant few hours in that bar sitting at the front in that corner that has the blue and white wrapping on it. Had the company of a pretty girl I met at the Pattaya Nth bus terminal and we travelled together to spend the night at K and S.

Was going to comment, but thought better of it!.

Smart ass!. I just corrected the spelling. I must say I looked at it for a second but let it go. Lets see if those people from that little island off mainland France can speak proper?.

Yes, and by guys that cannot even pronounce Pattaya. If you are going to live there you would think they would make an effort to get over their own dialect and say it correctly. That Buzz in Pattaya guy even laughs about it and says he will say it however he likes. Herbert as far as I know runs a nice place at Delirious. I must say that I have never taken to this guys video productions. Each to their own.

The French have a complex about most people using English, so lets change the language to French and see the response.

Who is the cum drenched girl in the 3rd photo?. Fiat is still great to look at. Has an infectious smile.

Last night I was watching Sky Sports UK televising the Russian F1 race. Totally unbiased! . If Loowis or LLLLLLando are not winning, the commentary is at a normal pitch, but god help the eardrums if one of the two aforementioned are in or near the lead. Have no other option as to which coverage we can watch out here.

Please explain what a "relax"room is?.

Seven. That means you have spent anywhere between 50 and 100 Thousand dollars on LBs!. Could be more!!!!!. Geez I hope it was worth it?.

Judging from what you are saying, your comments refer only to Thailand and it does not happen in other countries,correct?. I would beg to differ. Sure there are some falangs who have been duped, but that happens everywhere. I would love to move to Thailand but with the rules as they are, and my work situation, it would be very difficult. With the average length of marriages in the western world not lasting longer than an icecream in the desert, then the wife, who is usually the lesser contributer, gets half and walks away. How is that different to the Thai girl situation. A major problem in Thailand is that the falang cannot own land. Has to be in the Thais name. If a guy is that naive and cannot see what is happening, then that is very bad luck!. It sounds to me Rom, that you have experience in this matter. It seems to show through in your comments.

Posted 18 hours ago Given the choice, a beautiful young Thai GG or LB would choose a twentysomething guy with KPop good looks who drives a Ferrari and is hung like a Brazilian travesti instead of a LBR member. pdogg, you state the above line then add that the Thais should target the Chinese. Quite a contradiction!!!!

We all have different tastes as far as what makes a great city. I have visited 5 on that list. All have their good points but also bad ones. I slagged off the UK and have been there many times. I would avoid most of their cities, BUT, would certainly have no qualms about living in the country side in the UK. There are some great spots. Still does not totally nullify my previous comments re food and women. But those could relate to most westernized countries these days!.

Rom, sorry the first "we" was referring to the Thai authorities. You are saying that the Thais will price goods and services aimed at tourists specifically to deter the less wealthy tourist and concentrate on the wealthy ones. Well good luck to them on that one!. A countries wealth is dependent on a lot of things, but with Thailand they have what appears to be an even more stratified economy than most. A very rich top layer whose number is very small, and a very poor remainder. Doubt whether your theory would apply to them. The wealthy as in most countries ,want to keep the poor very poor. Scared maybe as to what a more wealthy and educated lower class could do to their standing. What you are suggesting would not help their cause. If a meal costs 100b but is then increased to 300 baht, where does the 200 baht go to?. By the way, you are welcome to pay the 300 baht for your meal, but if you are dining in the Hilton you would be paying more than that anyway!. If as it should, their currency falls to a level that it should be at, around 35 to 38 b to the USD, that may stir up the populace (who I feel sorry for), as it would lead to an increase in inflation, but it would help stimulate tourism when the borders open. If anyone on here can explain the level of the baht, please fire away. It is almost the 8th wonder of the world!. Just on a side note. I find that what appears to be a very low priority in Thailand in the teaching of English to a degree that would allow the young ones from Isaan etc., to be involved in tourism, very puzzling. The times where I have had trouble communicating with hotel staff is too many to be acceptable. Yes I know some of you would say why only English?. It just happens to be the almost universal language when travelling.

I actually had the most beautiful French girl (who was a ski bunny), sit next to me on a flight. When this girl boarded, I was sitting in the window seat with a spare seat next to me. She walked down the aisle and all the guys were gawking. Lo and behold she sat down next to me. She did fall asleep at one point and lay on my shoulder. The urge to fondle the beautiful orbs was very compelling. I just did not fancy spending part of the flight in handcuffs!.

Seven, you were joking re the North of England? Food; soggy chips and bangers. Weather ; rain with short periods of milky sunshine. Beautiful women; those ten ton hunks of lard rolling out of the pubs at closing time!. Wow!.

"but you would spread your wealth much faster if you paid 300 baht every meal," A rather strange comment to make. So we cherry pick which items we pay western world prices for?. I would have thought that meal prices are established in the same way that prices are established in most places. That is; cost of materials and labour, plus margin plus profit margin and be in competition with other suppliers. Is that correct? Not based on what a similar item might might sell for in the EU or the US. In most countrties petrol is much more expensive than it the US for example, partly due to taxes and other expenses. Petrol is way more expensive in Thailand than the US. Let the Thai government drop the price. That will get them a leg up!.

Mmmmm, I will let her play on her own!.

By my estimation there are not enough workmen leaning on shovels!. Any council workers I see are wearing off the top of the shovels.

I hope you dont????.

Sounds like they caught me singing in the shower!

Nice!

I can only recognize a couple of the girls. Maybe its because they have clothes on?.
