  1. I went for about half an hour a little earlier. I got to Soi 14 via Walking Street. The first thing I noticed was the total lack of Scootrets "hello girls" on WS. When I entered the place, it felt a bit more inviting than the last time, although there seems to be no change of furnishings. The most likely reason was that there were a few people there - probably in the region of 20 customers. I think (but am far from certain) that the lighting might be a bit more subdued. There are a lot of blue ceiling lights, which I don't recall from before. There were maybe half a dozen Scootrets hostesses there, plus a few girls from other Scooters bars. It was a good 15 minutes before a girl asked if she could join me. The price of a drink bought some info about who some of the people were. "Him big boss". "Him boss Scooters, Soi Buakhao". "Him son boss, manager". She girlfriend boss Soi Buakhao". Etc. By the time those people were taken into account, I wonder how many paying customers were actually there! The biggest change, as far as I could see, was that ALL beers were being sold at 89 Baht. The girl said it wasn't just a promotion but that would be the ongoing price. Lady drink 150 Baht; barfine 800 Baht (which I did not pay!). In summary, it seems that they are depending on selling beer at a lower price than before will be what gives them a different result than before. I wouldn't be putting even a Satang on that!

  5. Here's the latest from Retox Sports Bar (Soi Lengkee) After some of the speculation over the last few days (some true some not) I feel it is the appropriate time to give out the full and correct information I have available up to yet. It is with regret that we have to inform our customers that we are having to move the Retox Soi Lengkee bar due to issues with the current Rental agreement for the building. Fortunately we are only moving next door into the beer garden and a new bar will be built so disruption will be minimal. As of the today (1st September) we will be closed between the hours of 8am-4pm for the foreseeable future to allow work to commence on the bar and beer garden. Thus meaning we will discontinue the complete breakfast menu (including the baht buster) for the time being until we can get fully operational and open again for the breakfast menu (evening menu 4pm onwards will be available as normal). Fortunately we will be able to honor all room bookings after the 1st September at Retox Game On (Soi Honey) if any of you would still wish to stay with the Retox. So please if you have booked in with us keep this in mind and we will provide transport around the corner to Game On if you arrive at Retox Soi Lengkee. We plan to invest money into the beer garden to freshen it up but again it will be slowly implemented during our closed hours. Sorry for the inconvenience to all of you, and we look forward to seeing you soon. (more details to follow in the coming days) Retox Pattaya

  16. I was giving a girl a good seeing too a few years ago. She was on her hands a knees on the bed and I was doing her dog style. Above our heads a lite bulb burned brightly. She looked at me and said “turn that off and shove it up my ass”. In retrospect, I probably should have let the lite bulb cool down a bit first. 🤔

  19. At the Hospital A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath. "Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?" Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet." He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?" Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other. She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine." The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely: Are - my - test - results - back?"

  22. Some good gigs you all have been to see recently......Yes, Asia and John Lodge was in July ( yeah I know, old progressive music is for hacks like me LOL!) Taking Rachanee to see the final Kiss tour Sept 16th here.....should be good, the critics hate them, but their farewell show looks outstanding. My Son is going to see Metallica Sept 8th here at the new Chase Center San Francisco. Eric Clapton, The Who, Elton John are all coming to the new Warriors Arena also.

  23. Welcome to the forum Saucy Jack 🤗 I retired to Thailand when I was 47, back in 99, when prices of property, exchange rates (76) and cost of living was so much cheaper for Brits. Now mostly back in UK, so can’t really comment on how things are for retirees now, other than to say it’s a lot more expensive when taking exchange rate into consideration. If I was thinking of doing it now I would spend a year looking around to find an area I liked, with good transport, shops, hospitals and bars (if that’s what you want) within easy reach. Plenty of rentals about at competitive prices, so take your time before committing yourself to a long rental. You will soon make friends in Pattaya, just choose wisely, take your time and I’m sure you will enjoy yourself. 👌👍

  26. An 18 year-old girl tells her Mum that she has missed her period for two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the Chemist and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man with grey hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the Ferrari and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life. Additionally, if a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beachfront villa and a £2,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a £4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and £2,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, I'm not really sure what to do. What do you suggest?" At this point, the girl’s father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You shag her again."

  34. If you booked your ticket through a travel agent rather than direct with the airline they may be also to assist you with some organised tours. Whilst the downside to organised tours is that the tour guide dictates the times, the plus side is you often get round an number of places very quickly that you would be unable to do so under your own steam. @Horizondave

  40. Arnold and him had what I consider nice physiques. Now the guys of today, who weigh maybe 75 pounds more than Arnie, with less fat, but distended stomachs because their organs get bigger with all the insulin and growth hormone......bloody disgusting. To push your body to those levels, in a sport where you can’t really make a good living unless you’re top 5 in the world, all the while shortening life expectancy......I shake my head. Ronnie Coleman, 8 straight Mr. O titles, 52 and needs a walker to move around. Was it worth it?
