It is now St Paddy's Day in the Land of Smiles!  :FourLeafClover:

The snakes may have been driven out of Ireland but some ladyboy here have a strong King Cobra between their legs! In New York they paint a green line all the way down 5th Avenue but here in Thailand the ladyboys will be painting their cocks green and shouting, "I need Irish cock now"!

President Joe Biden will host Taioseach Micheál Martin of Ireland for a virtual bilateral meeting on Wednesday to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, the White House says, in yet another traditional head of state visit changed by the pandemic.

"St. Patrick's Day is a particularly special event for President Biden given his Irish heritage, and so he is also committed to keeping tomorrow's events as close to the way that they would appear if we were doing this in person," a senior administration official said on Tuesday.


The Irish Taioseach, or prime minister, typically has had a standing invitation to the White House on St. Patrick's Day. The event was moved to a virtual format after the coronavirus pandemic halted much international travel and changed the way people gather for celebrations and holidays.


There will still be a traditional Shamrock Bowl ceremony, according to the official, and the Irish government has sent a "beautiful engraved bowl" and shamrocks to the White House.
Biden and Martin are expected to discuss combating the pandemic, increasing "shared prosperity" and supporting political and economic stability in Northern Ireland, the official said. Both leaders will give remarks at the beginning of the meeting.


"This year, as Ireland takes a seat on the United Nations Security Council, we will redouble our joint work on peacekeeping, conflict resolution, accountability mechanisms, and women's rights. Ireland and the United States will also work together to strengthen the United States-European Union partnership," according to the White House.


Last year, St. Patrick's Day coincided with the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown. The Trump White House canceled the reception that was meant to celebrate the holiday and the visit of Leo Varadkar, Ireland's Taoiseach at the time.

Irishman assaulted by Treetown security on St Paddy's Day.

Treetown, Pattaya-

A 58-year-old foreign tourist, reportedly Irish, was allegedly attacked by several security guards in front of the Treetown entertainment complex area in central Pattaya last night following a dispute over a bill.

The guards, however, claimed the man refused to pay a bill and tried to flee and when he was stopped attempted to fight the guards and then accidentally fell.

The incident took place around 11:30 P.M. after Pattaya City police, rescue workers, and local media responded to the front of Treetown, a sprawling entertainment area in central Pattaya.

First responders from Sawang Boriboon found the 58-year-old man, reportedly an Irish tourist, bleeding heavily from a wound to his skull and confused. He was given first aid treatment at the scene and taken to a local hospital for further aid. TPN media has decided to withhold the injured man’s name at this time.

A large crowd was present at the scene but many witnesses were reportedly not cooperative with police over what happened. Eventually, a pair of Australian tourists spoke to Pattaya police and claimed that the victim had been chased by several security guards from the Tree Town complex who got into a physical altercation with the victim. The victim fell after the altercation, hitting his skull and causing bleeding and his injuries, according to the witnesses. The witnesses were not clear on who started the altercation.

Pattaya Police located the two security guards in question, whose names were not immediately released pending an ongoing investigation.

According to the two security guards, the victim had refused to pay a bill at a treetown venue and then tried to flee. The guards claim they tried to stop the man, giving chase and blocking his path, but the man was the aggressor and shoved them first. The guards claimed they only responded in self–defense, trying to calm the man down, which caused him to accidentally fall and damage his head.

Pattaya police admitted they were skeptical of the guard’s story and wanted to review CCTV and speak with the Irish tourist later today once he recovers from his wounds. At that point, they will decide on any legal charges to be made stemming from the incident.

TPN notes this is not the first incident at the Tree Town market involving fighting and security staff, as seen below.
