Continue – 1st Evening Udon Thani (Day #5 mini-trip report) Sunday Night, made my way up and down Soi Samphan Thamit. I am staying right on this Soi, right in the middle of the action at the hotel: @Home at Udon Thani. I decided to go up and down the full length of the Soi before heading into the Day & Night Complex. The soi had about 2 dozen small beer bars along this road. Many of them had 2-4 girls working in the bar. Majority of them had girls that were a 5 or lower on a ten point scale. I don’t want to sugarcoat it and you deserve to really to hear the truth and nothing but the truth! Pretty much most of the beer bars on this strip….yes a couple dozen of them, but majority of them were quite useless. Let me put it in this way. If I was working on an oil rig for the past 6 months and only had 1 evening in UT while on transit to another oil rig the next day for another 6 month gig, majority of the beer bars on Soi Samphan Thamit were completely useless, unless I was willing to go with a someone 5 or lower. Majority of the BB on Soi Samphan Thamit had girls that were hideous. Preconceived notion/Expectations: So, in my earlier report about Khon Kaen, I knew going in, that KK wasn’t a mongering town and it could be slim pickings and I would need to adjust for that. Now, I’ve spent quite a bit of time and research on Udon Thani. There are a ton of videos and reports of the “Main/Only” true mongering spot up in Issan can only be found in UT. From all the research and videos I’ve seen and what transpired on this Soi were completely way different. I found out from chatting to a few of the girls and couple of the guys staying at my hotel – who regularly have visited UT, that it’s been fairly quiet this October in UT amongst this mongering spot. Now, I know it’s on a Sunday, but for heaven sake, this was not good. I decided I would now check out the Day & Night Complex. Two rows of beer bars, about 8-10 beer bars on either side. The 2nd beer bar on the left actually had more than 2 or 3 girls working, about 6 girls. I saw one girl who was a 7 and maybe another girl who could pass for a 6. I sat down and ordered a drink and bought the girl who I thought was a 7 a drink. After a bit, I enquired about barfines. This girl didn’t do LT and was only willing to do ST. She wanted #1,500 for ST. I told her I would get her later this week and that I wanted to look around. I stayed to the left side of the beer bars and continued my way around until I hit the end of the Day & Night complex. I continued to the back area and around to the left where Little Havana bar is. They only had 2 girls working the bar and they were not barfine quality. I didn’t even bothering to stop and have a drink. I did a U-Turn and now would check-out the right side of the Beer Bars in the D&N complex. About the third beer bar was a place called Ohh La La. This beer bar had 6 girls working along with the music blasting so loud I had no other choice but to put in ear plugs. I sat with a girl who was a 6/7. Spoke pretty poor English, had only worked in the bar for 1 month and was going to school at one of the University here in UT. Another girl was seated across from us and could possibly pass for 6 or 7. But, she was really young looking, had braces and way too skinny looking. Now, if these are my only good choices here in UT, then I will have to go back and grab her. I finished my drink and walked/looked at the rest of the beer bars on the right side….nothing worth stopping/looking @. I made my way back onto the street – Soi Saphan Thamit and stopped at Fun Bar. Fun bar had 11 girls working and a few girls who were barfinable. I selected one of the girls to talk to and found out she didn’t go with customers. A falong customer who was seated at the counter top whispered to me that he had already talked to my girl and was told earlier that she didn’t go with customers. He said that earlier in the evening, he met up with some friends across the street at the Brick House for dinner and watched as about half the girls working at the Fun Bar were dropped off for work by their Thai boyfriends including the girl I was now sitting down with. I stuck around for about an hour chit chatting with a few of the girls and decided to just call it a night. Tomorrow, I have a work meeting here in UT in the late morning and then have to head up to Nong Bua Lam Phu for another meeting in the afternoon. Very slim pickings here in UT along the Beer Bar nightlife area and pretty quiet overall. Although very few barfineable girls about, I think I can manage at least for a few nights while in UT, but if your goal was to come to UT for the nightlife….at the moment, don’t waste your time.

Maybe just believing the poor advice given from some quarters. He also mentioned housing rent costs as an issue, but selling some assets could have addressed that.

I have an IR blaster on my Phone as many others do but may have never used it. It comes in handy in my room it is programed for my 2 TVs and my Air Conditioner and it controls all the functions as well. In the Google playstore there are many free remote apps. I was in AC and last trip the TV Remote was dead no problem thaks 30 seconds to set up and all good. Can add as many devices as you like as well comes in handy.

Potpourri?

I had one of these a 1974 Fiat X19 bought it used in 1979 and was really a fun car to drive could corner unbelievably. This one is a later model This is a stock photo of a 74 X19

Ah Captins Saveahoe or white knights as they are known on PA, not heard that term for a while

Evening - Day #3 Udon Thani (Day #7 mini-trip report) – Late afternoon, was laying in bed, watching a little tv in the room, checking & replying to messages and didn’t really fall asleep at all, so didn’t get a power nap in before heading out tonight. First stop tonight – Nutty Park Beer Bars. As you pass the Corner Bar & Restaurant is Nutty Park. It is in the shape of an upside down L. The Beer Bars in the first section as you head straight back, hardly any girls at all in the beer bars and none worth stopping to look at. I turned the corner to the right. Way more girls and I noticed a scattering of some decent looking birds. Unfortunately, the girls I thought were cute, were all sitting with other customers, so I ended up leaving. Maybe tomorrow, I will go back, but maybe an hour earlier. I made my way back to the Day and Night Complex. About as busy as it was yesterday and yes, much better than my first day/Sunday. I could have stopped and sat with a few girls, but chose to see if Little Havana was better than my prior visits. I turned into the back corner left and noticed about 8 girls. Finally some girls working! I sat and ordered a drink and surveyed the scene. Maybe 2 girls who could pass for 7, a couple of 6’s…the rest of the girls were god awful. I left after my one drink. I headed for the Fun Bar, but just before reaching the Fun Bar, I was stopped by some massage girls next door to the Fun Bar. They had 1 young girl who was actually pretty cute. I got an hour massage from her with a HJ, not to shabby. After finishing-up, went next door to the Fun Bar and sat right up front. I ordered a drink and started to chat with a few of the girls. Same as my first visit, about a dozen girls. A couple 7’s, a couple of 6’s and few others who were in the 5/6 range. I stuck around for a while drinking and listening to the Thai singer who sang a lot of great 70’s and 80’s songs. The mamasan asked me why I’m not barfining any of her girls. I wrapped my arms around the waist of the girl who told me on the first night that she doesn’t go with customers and told the mamasan that my girl doesn’t want to go with me with a laugh. The mamasan proceeded to talk Thai with my girl for quite some time and then she said, ok girl go with you….I just laughed a bit. When the mamasan left, I told my girl she can have another drink and told her, it is ok, you don’t have to go with me. She just smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek. About 11pm, my girl says to me “when we go back to your hotel ? “ I said, are you sure? It ok if you don’t want to go. She put her hand on my thigh and came close to me and said “I want go with you” So I checked bin – I think 2 drinks for me and 5 drinks for my girl…only came to #790 baht. My girl and I headed back to my hotel and I had a very memorable couple of hours. My girl was hugging me on the bed after we finished and she asked for my phone/messenger app. She added me on messenger and said she wanted to see me tomorrow. I had already put money under her purse…and when she pick-up the money I left for her, she said “this more than #1,000 baht”…..I said I enjoyed my time with you. She came right back over to me with hugs and kisses. I walked her downstairs and after seeing her depart into the night, I headed back upstairs to my room. It was a very good Day & Night!

Yesitsdakid - Pattayaland 13/4 was a favorite of mine for years. You didn't need to go to walking street. There was great food entertainment and good partying people. I miss Cheers, Palmers and Bubbles most of all! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I don't see one here specifically for your model but they're pretty simple and all do much the same thing. Have a look if one of these looks like your remote, worth a try as they're cheap enough. Or if you have a contact number, call Mitsubishi Thailand and ask which remotes will work with your air con. https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=mitsubishi+air+con+remote+control&_keyori=ss&from=input&spm=a2o4m.home.search.go.624c719c8yTBtY

1st Day Udon Thani (Day #5 Mini- trip) My Grab Taxi driver was bombing down the freeway as we left Khon Kaen. The app said it would take 2hours 3 min. to get to my hotel - @ Home at Udon Thani....we pulled up to the hotel in 90 mins!!!Checked in and got squared away in the room. Hotel is not too bad....although going up and down 3 flights of stairs may get old fairly quickly. I can’t believe how close the hotel is to all the action!Decided to walk around near the hotel, walked to UD Town shopping area and walked passed Bar’ista Brasserie. Lots of great little open markets and food stalls all over town, plan on eatting a lot of meals around town. Stopped by what was essentially a .99 cent store, a Don Kohote etc.... and bought a couple needed items - storage container #29 baht and scissors #25 baht. Saw a little fruit smoothie stand.....I attached a pic with the 2 girls who worked theres. I know you can’t really tell, but the girl on the left was so cute, I went and bought a fruit plended drink from her. #35 baht and it was excellent! A bit warm today but enjoyed the walk around UT. There was nice little breeze that started around 4pm and made my way back to the hotel to rest up before going out tonight. Sent from my iPhone

Yes. I have told patrons in my bar that they won’t be served any more alcohol. Everyone complained and said they were never coming back, everyone came back, usually the next day and apologised.

Rest of the family's not much better

agree those faded flag dresses look dreadful

Correct, it will be when you need to update to a new card that you will be expected to change the pin to 6 digits, that was my experience....

Same same for me Doug. Young Larry and a few of us went in ....... one drink. Sadly wonderful bar before feels dead now. Needs Phil and a harem of beautiful women may work .......??? Agree seems doomed.

I was there at 9pm last night and there were more staff than customers. Two girls in flag uniforms that were designed to look weathered but to me they looked dirty. I came in and there was only one other guy in the place (besides the manager). I would think the manager would have said hello or given me a nod. Maybe he has given up. The place was clean and the music was nice but there was only 2 girls outside that stayed outside and the service staff of about 5 girls. If you always want to be able to get your favorite table when you walk in, then this is the place fo you. I had 4 friends join me there for a drink and we immediately left after. While I wish them luck I just think this place is doomed. I came in at 9pm and was bin #4 for the day. My friends put the bins up to #8 but I would be surprised if they had hit #20 by the nights end. A big place with big overhead. I keep trying to enjoy a visit there every trip but I just end up thinking my entertainment money is better spent elsewhere. Again in the 4 or 5 visits I have made there since the opening day I haven't once gotten a greeting by the manager or owner or whoever the falang is that's there. I don't need a long chat but if the place is a scooby-do ghost town I would think showing the customers that do show up a little acknowledgment is fair which a nod is fine. Below are the pictures of our bins. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Hope you get front row seats. Saw them years ago in Chicago. Good entertainment. I wonder if Puppetry of the Penis is still doing their roadshow. Saw them in Milwaukee, again years ago. Think that might be something the wife would get a kick out of. Think there are some how to videos out there, so if no roadshow you could always give her a private show.

We were at the Brown Palace in Denver last week for the GFs daughters wedding. Was great weather and an even better time. The Palace is a beautiful old lady

I don't even like fake tits so got no chance with the rest of that shit....yuk.

Colors are late this year. All gone in the high country but are just starting here in town. These pics are 11 miles north of Durango.

Last Friday night, November 1, our beloved and only cat died, she was 24 years old. She suffered recently from senility and during the last weeks she was almost only skin and bones because she ate less and less.It’s not easy to cope with the grieving. She leaves an empty space in my life, something always reminds me of her and I catch myself as I constantly look at her favorite places if she lies there. I'm constantly trying to distract myself, so it's difficult for me to talk about it.
