Chicken vindaloo in the Sportsman Bkk.

Mozzarella, tomato, basil, touch of black pepper to keep it interesting, on sourdough. Balked a bit on the 240 baht price, but it was terrific.

Isaan food for lunch...Dried BBQ Pork, khao neow, nam jim & kim chi Baby Mama made a bunch and left me a few meals. . . .

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

From awhile back. Ball Park Frank's, deviled eggs and a nice salad

2 and a half hours

Remembering how I enjoy the ever changing view out over the solent... HMS Prince of Wales (at least, ithink its the PoW, as I think QE is in Scotland being repaired) Which strangely isn't named on my marine tracking app, although its surrounding tugs are...

Turkeys turkeys everywhere. We have 3 groups constantly rotating thru. The biggest has 32 to 38 birds. They are really hard to count.

Same same but different

Beef stew is on the menu for me tonight.

That’s really nice. Had to go to see my solicitor in Bracknell yesterday again so stopped in M&S for my free cappuccino and had Victoria sponge cake for lunch.

Had to add more photos here due max file size

Moma bear and her 2 cubs. As you can tell from the handrail in the first pic she is way too close to the house for comfort

Just got my 'Welcome back' email from Pullman King Power! What a rush, thinking of reconnecting with all my Chinese friends at the breakfast buffet

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

Thanks for the reminder to make up a Siamburi's order. This cheesecake is a favourite of mine.

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....

I just love women.

With all the changes in Pattaya and the surrounding area it is so nice to see that some things haven't changed at all

Visible in the video in the first post. And the rudder isn't mechanically connected to the steering wheel either anymore.

...and some Buffalo...

a few birds from yesterday...

There have been reports all the lights on board went out and they reported loss of propulsion a few minutes before the collision.

Just woke up,switched on maps and see we are sailing back to tarragona, supposed to be tomorrow,so looking forward to get back into town again

Going to get my daughter from school in an hour, then taxi to the airport

Mag-bloody-nificent sir !!!

It looks bloody delicious mate!!! The annoying thing is that when I was Kateleya's age, the calories would be burned off on an afternoon bike ride followed by a game of footie...I am sure it is the same for her too!!!! Nowadays my arteries are clogged just reading the ingredients !!

It is very good value, we often have the breakfast in the Irish Clock too, but another BM here had the breakfast a day or two earlier and said it was good, but too much food for him! I stayed in the Pannarai for the first time this trip, but didn't try the food. We met an American guy who came into the hotel every morning and paid for the buffet breakfast and did say how good it was.

Arrived at Swampy at 09:30 ... self check in and bag drop took a couple of minutes ( very easy to use ) , no queues at security or immigration, so was sat in the lounge within 15 mins ( silver status so I get to use lounge even if not travelling Business 👍 )

Snakes of Isaan https://www.facebook.com/groups/1076644525809817 "Me and the wife just caught this cobra in our outside kitchen in ubon ratchathani with a little help from our dog. Got it in a big plastic box and will relocate it tomorrow....."

On XE just now.

f**k's going on here???? Haven't had an update today, i needs to know i tells ya, bills to pay in Baht when i arrive ...

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

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.

They didn't have rainbow?

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?

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

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.

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

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