Yesterday at the gym, my pal "Kate"....she was concerned about taking a pic......why? "Oh I do not have any make up on"??? Who cares, neither do I 😩

Pad Thai Gai

Pondering whether I should try get to this rock above the condo buildings,looks are deceiving but looking from balcony doesnt look to far,not even sure there's a trail,been up to mast area on the right which is the other side of hin lek fai and Higher with good but obscured views over hua hin,the rock looks a better option.

I had a decent flight into Bkk yesterday. We took off 30 minutes late, but the flight time was only 10.5 hours! Immigration was fairly quiet with just our flight arriving. I had a new passport and a 60 day TV. It was fun watching the guy flick through every page looking for any stamps. I did tell him it was new as I passed it over. Lol. Unusual for me, my case came off early so I was on my way at 1630. My last few trips it has been a nightmare getting into lower Suk at this time, so I decided to take the rail link to the BTS, then BTS into Nana. Appart from not knowing how to get to the BTS, it isn't sign posted. I arrived at my hotel an hour later for the grand total of 80 baht. I will definitely do this now for future trips if staying near Nana. A taxi has taken up to 3 hours in the past, especially on a Friday. I hardly slept on the plane and could easily have gone straight to bed, but I am playing in a big pool comp today, so needed to get straight into Thai time. Also I needed a new tip on my cue. So off for some grub on the way to pick up my cue. Whilst eating in Margarita Storm, a guy walked in that I hadn't seen for quite a while. He joined me at the table and after chatting for ages I lost track of time and couldn't get a new tip as the shop closed at 10pm. Oh well, playing with a new tip probably isn't the best idea, so here I am trying to soften up my old one. Unfortunately it is too low to take a layer off. Lots of good players here, I haven't played for two weeks, so it probably won't make much difference anyway. Lol.

Great pics guys, last night wifey cooked up Spaghetti with a bit of Chicken and she made some fresh, green pesto sauce too. Outstanding....

Taken from hin lek fai rocks,the rocky outcrop top right corner.

Traditional Lappish food of sautéed reindeer, mashed potatoes, pickles and lingonberry jam.

Dinner in Save One market in Korat,it is absolutely massive & the choices are endless. Total cost for a half litre of Chang & a lovely krapow gai a whopping 90b. The cans were ice cold & 55b each so I ended up having 5 of them.

If it were me I would ask the place I'm staying at to organize transport to the airport.

Enchiladas in Margerita Storm, soi 13 Bkk. Superb.

I don’t really think Pattaya would be good for me. Especially with my mental health and addiction issues, I’d probably end up drinking again. Especially now I have so much money from my sister. I’m just waiting for the weather to improve and get a bike. Being out riding is good for me. It really helps me a lot in not being tempted to self destruct. I really love Pattaya, had so many good times there and met so many great people. But at this point in my life I don’t think it’s going to be good for me.

Ah cool,yes correct 2 trails that lead from main path up towards the mast,both old mb trails,unfortunately I took the left trail first,realising I was getting lower I back tracked to the other trail,spent around 2 hours altogether and could not find a way to the rocks. Came out in an open area just near the temple then ended back on road ,so headed for hin lek fai,flew the drone and it looks like easier to get to from south of the temple. But it's actually lower than the rocky outcrop in front of the mast area. On way up. A quick good morning to these nice looking girls. the open area to the right of temple,note temple roof left side.

That's why I am not married mate !

Thursday 22nd of February 2024..... 21.00 hrs... Soi Buakhao.

A wander through boomerang yesterday afternoon, and... I did ask to take a pic and suggested the girls all hid... for the sake of my camera I'm glad they did. I'm not sure @Stillearly will be visiting...

Seafood platter with ginger rice 👍

Not for 1....

If I was in Phuket during that time, this is the place I would be.....bring a friend along....and watch her get tan LOL!

Piri piri chicken taco in the Monkey bar tonight,last night I had the chicken tandoori taco & cannot decide which is best. Both really good so I have to do some more testing....

I'm currently laid on my pit with M'Lady massaging my feet and legs.... She showers me down every night about 8pm getting her soaped up fingers into all the crevices hidden, and created by, my rolls of blubber.. Sort of like a mini seaworld really ... Who'd of thought that at 67 years old both @Yessongs and I still have the bodies of a SEAL eh..?? I am drinking Red Velvet wine from the last box purchased in Makro, Ubon, yesterday whilst snacking on Tipo caramel egg cookies bought in the same place ....... I have no idea what I have done to deserve this but am just happy to enjoy it whilst it lasts .....

Aroy restaurant cha am. A suspect looking masaman curry,its actually coconut chicken,not what I ordered but ate it anyway,Tofu and beansprouts, and some seafood dish for ting tong,washed down with chang. Sometimes I watch what I eat due to gout hand and sometimes ill say f**k gout hand life's to short not to enjoy,anyway thecrooked thumb is handy😄 for picking up the beer glass.

A selection from the Kite event held on the beach this afternoon and extending over the weekend.

This one's for forcebwithu:

Bangers & lettuce for lunch,3 different flavours.

I don’t know, the green and blue has my eye.😀 Going to make some breakfast then head to the gym. Got some crumpets so will have a couple of them.

Take your time mate, its early days. Staying around your home area and getting support from your councillors will help. Weather wise, you have time on your side, it is only going to improve, although slowly through to the summer, then you will have many wonderful days riding that beautiful green bike. Green I said, not green and blue. Lol.

I think eddie now has his eye on Cambodia. Word is that Steady has been offered shares in a bar on Street 136 in PP.

Hi, I've been a regular to Pattaya for the last 5 years. Nice to join the community

Brekkie today - Bolonga on wheat w/ yellow mustard, banana and mater juice....

Neua Pad Prik Thai Dum ( stir fried beef with pepper and Thai herbs 🌶️🌶️ )

Appreciate these regular currency pics.

Sunset at Jomtien Beach December 2022.

Great pic, I have highlighted my house below in Horizon with the blue dot, loved my time there. It was where my daughter grew up for her first 4 years. It was quite funny sitting in my condo (just 1 year) watching my old house a short distance away. I would consider living there again if I returned.

Yep, all are good but my favourite depends on what mood I'm in and what I fancy at the time .. Easy to do in the airfryer too...

Popped in here as PA appears down for past two days. Regular visitor to LoS, usually four times a year for 4 weeks, back next month with a side trip to Siem Reap. Many thanks.

Horison (Horizon) is to the right on Google Maps. The distinct building design of 88 Condo is what I used to orient the view in Google Earth to your picture.

One of those is the red herb one,another is garlic & herb & the best one had a bit of chili in it. But all 3 were good.

Not stayed at the Hilton although have been inside and used the downstairs club and bars. The Hilton is obviously more modern with the Centara maintaining an older style charm offering a very historical feeling to a stay. For me I would still book the Centara as you feel so immersed in history, the gardens and facilities are beautiful, the grounds and restaurants are amazing. Just having afternoon tea there is an event. I have stayed then and never ventured outside, I just wanted to savour the atmosphere of a premier class hotel. The hotel has beautifully finished rooms once inside, they are large and extremely comfortable. You have a feeling of being in a 'colonial old hotel' which I particularly like as it comes with great service, you feel part of history. Not sure of the costs of either hotel, would need to look that up but maybe the wifey would get a better rate for you if she called the hotels.

I don't think he's much of role model ... he started drinking as soon as he arrived back in Patts

Toscana Pizza Beach Road ??

Wifey told me next time we go to Hua Hin, the Centara will be where we stay. Have never stayed there or Hilton.....any opinions on which is better?

A nice cup of tea and a slice of Barra Brith with butter in Neath Leisure Centre. Lovely.

Opposite Central
