Home for the next 2 and a half weeks except for a couple of short trips.

Had to add more photos here due max file size

Last breakfast in Patts for this trip

Few more..

No doubt about it...love it or hated Secrets, I personally just found it to be fun as a general rule. The 2017, 2018 Anniversary parties were great.

'Out of Office' on, check in online for our flight when i get back from the gym later

Ok... so Brian was complaining like a little baby about how badly he sweats while in Pattaya . So I, out of the kindness of my caring and concerned heart bought ( with no thought of back charging the c**t) I took on the financial burden of purchasing the ungrateful pig a sweat towel But do I get any Thanks???? Hell no.... he just bitches about the color, or for you English, colour. I mean.... what's the big friggen deal?

Last meal in Udon for a while. Decent feed in the Brick house for 180b

Art in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco

Well how about horrible Britts .....They all speak funny sounding English....Always stuffing their face will fish and chips and meat pies... They are all bald headed and overweight, and many of them with awful tattoos....Cant they wear anything but cargo shorts ? And dont forget the wife beater shirts... And the Australians are not much better....But at least they have Kangaroos there... And dont get me started on the Americans.....Thinking they come from the best country and they want to let everyone know it....They are all so bad learning a 2nd language...Whats wrong are they all stupid or something.... And what about those bloody @#%&#@ (fill in the blank)........Why they are simply the worst....

They didn't have rainbow?

Nah, just not thinking it through. Some hares are better at designing trails, while others are just lazy, or don't care when it comes to a well thought out trail. There are also hares that just go out and wing it rather than use technology to help them design a great trail. For Saturday's trail it's easy enough to see via Google Earth the alternative trails that could have been used. As an example, the blue lines below are trails we've used in the past, the green line is Saturday's trail. For the "Tramac Section" and the "Bloody Hot Section" it would have been easy enough to head into the areas marked "Shady Area I Would Have Used". But the hares on Saturday aren't comfortable with using GPS logs and Google Earth for planning, so we ended up with a less than ideal trail. Not really an issue as most of the guys are pretty fit, and we take comfort in the knowledge there will be plenty of beer waiting for us at the end. As an aside, no surprise given the heat our beer consumption was up. The 46 hashers consumed 297 cans and bottles of beer at a total cost of 10,078B. By that measure it was a great day out.

I was trying to do an online check in for my flight tomorrow & I couldn't get past country of residence & nationality,the usual drop down lists didn't appear. Just about to give up when I thought try again with my VPN switched off. All checked in now.

Not really the humidity that gets to me, but the oppressive heat of the sun beating down on you when you're out in the open for extended periods of time. I wasn't happy with the trail the hares set. So many opportunities to avoid the farm fields and keep us under shade, but instead, for whatever reason they elected to use the unshaded areas. The worst was one section that went 600m on tarmac road. With the heat it felt like twice the distance. All the while I'm trudging along the road I'm looking to the left at beautiful tree canopy that if I were the hare I would have looped the trail through. For those that aren't familiar with hash runs. There's two or more hares that set trail a day or two before a run. They use hanging paper and bits of shredded paper on the ground to mark the trail. On the day of the run the hounds, us, are dropped off at a start point and we follow the trail to the end where we drink copious amounts of beer and tell embarrassing stories about our fellow hashers. The link below is to the run report for Saturday's run. You can view run photos and a map of the trail that we ran, or in my case mostly walked. Hopefully later today we'll also have posted a scribe report detailing in humorous fashion the day's run. https://pattayamonkeyh3.com/PMH3/RunReportLkup.html?109

For me, I can't say I hate, genuinely hate any Nationalty. Although I do find certain traits exhibited from various nationalities annoying at times, but they are usually petty. I think what is meant is about elements of different "Cultures or Religion" " usually inherited at birth. Whenever this happens, it usualy eminates from the comparisons from our own culture I hate everyone collectively 😁😁

Just finished up in Cafe Pitini. As delicious as ever

It's a crap shoot which month has the most rainfall, Sept or Oct. Last year Oct won out. Personally I wouldn't let the rainy season affect my travel plans as the rains last only an hour or two. The exception would be if we get hit with a tropical storm, but those have been rare the last several years. And even if it does rain, you'll have the shiny new Las Vegas Beer Garden to wait out the rain in. But then again, maybe not. http://www.pattayaweather.net/Historical-Weather-Statistics.html

Any nationality from any religion who comes to the UK or Thailand & doesn't abide by the laws of the land and makes a c**t of themselves. From my experiences Saudi Arabians are cunts not only in their own country but in Thailand as well.

Packing ... final time for this trip checked in online and downloaded boarding pass and lounge invitation taxi early tomorrow back in October

Which year?

I wonder if this complex will be open by the time I come back in October ....? 555

Lasagne

I had the BBQ pork ribs in Monsoon this evening,absolutely delicious & the carafe of house red was not bad. Picture I took turned out awful so you're stuck with my description.

Been running the Derby 10k. Excellent event as usual with over 2000 runners. Great atmosphere at the finish right outside the football ground.

I have been so blessed to be able to live where I do

Used to love sitting outside at Pitini's, watching the world go by. Went through quite a few of their waitresses on various trips! Tried to avoid the ones that had to start at 6am the next morning

Kataleya wanted me to make a cheesecake so I had a first time go. It is a white chocolate millionaire's cheesecake; all I know is, it is bloody rich with fat and sugar, not a good heart partner.

Safe travels mate.

I just love women.

Packing.

Respect for doing this in that humidity! Would be too tough on me.

The guy on the right kind of looks like Andy Warhol?

I’m always hugely depressed when leaving Thailand but I’m a workaholic once I’m back home so just keep grafting until the next trip and look forward to eventually retiring to LOS

Heading down to meet the big guy... Will see where the wind takes us tonight

The fish up that way are notorious for being camera shy too !!

Been a tough 3 days, but we have managed 19 fish. Mainly Siamese carp. Biggest at 80lb and an arapaima of just over the ton.

I used to be a regular in there for a litre of Mont Clair with my breakfast back before they increased the tax on wine yonks ago. I'd sit by the railings watching the girls leaving the Opey de Place, lovely place to sit and eat, watching the world go by. An old dog would come in each morning to get fed and just laid out on the floor sleeping... Long gone to doggie heaven now I think..

Devonshire again with Brian and Gordon. The tomato soup was a very pleasant surprise.

Back in room after a nice meal at Devonshire followed by a lovely oil massage
