  2. If you were his friend he would always be willing to help. My ATM card took a shit and I was off to AC in the morning before the banks opened I was screwed. Told him may just cancel till i get my card sorted. He looked at me and said he was off to Burger King for a whopper. Well an hour or so later he was back at the bar with a Whopper for me as well as 60K baht looked at me and said sort it with me when you get back. Thats just the kind of guy he was.

  7. My wife’s auntie who designed our house and coffee shop, worked on the film “The Beach” designing many of the sets. From what she said to me years ago, was that the beach and background in the film looked nothing like the actual beach before the film crew moved in. A lot of the beach vegetation was removed and parts of the beach were “reconfigured” to suit the storyline. I rememered her being angry at what had been done, to what was an almost pristine beach, in what was a protected area in a National Park. There was a lot about what the film studio did to the island way back in the Thai press and I think a large fine was paid by the film studio to the Thai government. Money talks I suppose. 🤔

  9. This is what Maya Bay looked like many years ago. I took a long tail boat out there one day from Phi Phi Don. I was the only one there and it was spectacular. I snapped this pic among many.

  10. I had my first visit to Pin Up agogo last night. Just like Tantra they put the post for the table right up against the seat thus forcing you to share your table with the customer sitting next to you. They are anticipating lots of Japanese and Korean customers crammed in I guess but it wasn't that way last night. The line up wasn't so good so that's likely the reason. The back seats are comfortable however but on this night nothing caught my eye. Fahrenheit wasn't really crowded either. The ladies I like there weren't present and the remaining staff were nice but no one else caught my eye. To me the only value to these no-touch places is if they have stunners working. Then changing directions, off to the Windmill which was packed. Electric Blue was crowded too and I got reacquainted with an old friend with a new look that I approved of. Finally Dolllhouse was crowded and always enjoyable and I spent most of my evening upstairs. I saw that the new Tee Rak agogo was open when I passed by. I'll check that out next time.

  13. Robbie was an amazing guy. YouTube does not allow editing other than trimming ends. I want to redo the video anyway as it did not render correctly (used images too large for the codex) and 7Rob7 will be there. If others have pictured of him, please submit. Without deleting "anybody" I can insert two pictures and not alter the template. I will still have to re-crop all images from 16:9 to 3:2 which means randomize all pics again, so not will be in the same order (except for chorus), but who cares. I would love to fit in 2 or 3 pictures where he appears. Also if anyone have ST4ME or Hilly, I will use them (so long as they are not thumb nails. The cropped image will look like this in the video

  17. Just been bollocked by her indoors, as the lady in the picture is not her, but her auntie, who I mentioned in the posts about Maya beach earlier. I should have known, (but they do look remarkably similar from behind🤣) as she was always taking our son for a walks along the beach at the bottom of our garden in HuaHin. Sorry guys☹️

  19. Only in Liverpool .... Liverpool forward Sadio Mane's house was burgled while he was playing in the Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. Items including watches, mobile phones and car keys were stolen. The incident happened at Mane's house in Allerton, south Liverpool between 18:00 and 23:45 GMT - while the 26-year-old was at Anfield. No-one was in the property at the time.

  21. I think it is harder for the healthy to talk about death than it is for the diagnosed. I know that the story I have told and likely will continue has resulted in a lot of awareness, some have had blood tests as a result and a friend was diagnosed with reduced liver function, but not cirrhosis ... just enough that he received a stern warning from the doctor. I have made a few decisions. 1. Prove all the doctors wrong 2. Do what I can to increase awareness of risks 3. Make the best use of the time I still have. The latter has cause me to take greater interest in things I did little of before. Some examples are cooking (cannot trust anything prepackaged), listen to lots of music and now also making simple videos. I hope to gain a lot of pictures from as many people as possible of girls around Thailand, crop & reformat them all the randomize the all. If 100 pictures is what it takes for one video then 1,000 could make 10 volumes. I have 500 of my own already.

  22. I guess the downside is that if they take any old crap then they'll have no reservations giving you any old crap in return.

  23. That Sabai exchange under Atlantic Bar Soi 3 will take any old crap you put across the counter. More alarmingly (for them) they dont even scan for counterfeits or anything. I was startled when I lobbed £500 over last trip including 4x £20s rejected at TT and she just counted in full view tapped calculator and handed over the wonga. Took photocopy passport They consistently beat TT by around 4-5 satang so if you're in the area worth using

  27. No, the idea is the water will flow over the concrete slab into the drain, and will then filter through the form (remember it is composed of a layer of gravel) into the sand. Well thats the theory....

  28. Hey smoothie, glad you made it over here. Ilene is my cook and I’ll let her know if your impending arrival. Yes, sometimes I do just look around and enjoy the fruits of my labor, although it wasn’t really conceived, I just added features and ideas as I went along. The bar is all about the staff really and not me. But I thank you for your kind words and see you soon.

  30. I do recall. I was told the rest of my life ... I looked at the doctor after that announcement and replied in an upbeat tone: "Cool. so only 3-6 months" Even doctors have a hard time with dark humor like that ☺

  31. Hello to all you hansum man! I already recognize so many names from the soon to be defunct forum I used to post on. First trip to LOS was in 2008, hoping to go back in October, and try to fit in Cambodia and/or Philippines as well. Sad thing is, I haven’t swung a club in 3 years, hoping to get back at it this summer
