Just eaten at Seventy Farenheit in Lamai. Absolutely stunning food.Wife had Pomelo salad followed by a Pork Massaman with a ginger fried rice.I had cheesy garlic bread followed by a Lamb shank in a Penang curry. I had a couple of profiteroles for dessert.

Just left an old abandoned film,TV set,I'll post more pics on my tr,eerie place.

Sitting eating at a northern restaurant, I swear I was sat here first and these 3 girls chose to sit at step above mlord,not guilty,nice views 😍

Some pics from Kanchanaburi,I'm staying at the rivet kwai resort pool access room,1800 bht but asked for discount and got it for 1600 for 3 nights. It's quite, I'm in a corner room so perfect,just seen 1 thai family yesterday,this morning a couple of falang older couples ,they might be here for anzac day tomorrow. The bars mostly were busy last night,I think again because anzac day tomorrow, from what I heard lots of aussie s Had a few drinks in 2 bars but nothing of interest, add to that the usual older lady trying her luck with new falang in town,fs then her mate came over after making it obvious I wasn't playing, she had bigger teeth ! with enough spaces for cars to drive through,anyhow did a sharp exit to a nearby restaurant at about 11pm,back to room called ting tong to tell her I been a good man,didn't necessarily plan on that but hey ho. I've definitely got pics from last year on the bridge with these same dogs.

Heading off to a local Anzac day dawn service. Lest we forget.

Some pics from the abandoned film set. Google maps took me through an army base to get there. Not a soul to be seen,no wonder in this heat. After I headed for a museum and a temple with a kinda strange architecture, will post pics later of these.

Jok moo just down from the bridge.

Coffee time by the pool,off to the bridge in a minute for jok moo.

We are actually shat in The Shamrock now listening to a brilliant band, lead guitarist is phenomenal.

The reason is in the article. That particular site has historical significance. "The inspiration behind this initiative stems from a historic event where Their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit, accompanied by the Royal Family, sailed in Pattaya Bay decades ago. This event holds immense historical and cultural significance."

Somebody was on acid that day. 🫥

Last night's dinner at Robin Hood, I had a French Onion soup followed by a 400gm ribeye with a side's of chips and red wine sauce, with an extra of roasted vegetables and my wife had Tom Yum Gung.

At the naga statue cha am,fortunately the weather played ball and sun was behind clouds the whole pleasant journey from hua hin ,off to eat soon.

Chicken and chips cooked for me by a mate, I added beans and gravy after!

I said that in a Sean Connery voice when I read it .... 😜

A bit out of focus but am I glad the missus is back!

African spiced chicken

To this day I thank the local co-op for introducing me to Gewurzstraminer ! Probably the best afternoon I spent with my Mum sitting in her garden before she died and we both fancied a drink so I drove into town. It was a lovely hot summers day and it was the only wine left in any of the fridges in town. Bloody hell 9% German muck I thought to myself as I bought a bottle..... I got home and poured a glass each. Oh My Buddha was I wrong! Straight back into town and emptied the fridge!! Thank You Co-op for a wonderful afternoon with my slightly tipsy Mum !!

Could fit a Chinese tour bus up it.

Was at my local Co-op , I don't shop there that often, but I saw they had no queues at the members counter, so I went to check my dividend ... had to change address with them first and show id proof etc ... but I had £890 in my account , added up from shopping trips since 2014 .... transferred the funds to my Bank account... I think I need to shop there more 555

Probably has a cock the size of John Holmes.

Beach footpath photo update from this morning's rideabout. A few of the new pavers are missing. It took longer than I thought it would, but the shower fixtures still didn't last very long. Meanwhile shower #2 and #3 are still waiting to be finished. The footpath is already pretty narrow in spots, so some mindless drone decided to make it narrower still with strategic placement of trash bins. Wonder when they'll get around to finishing the planting of trees. Odd they finished planting the newer section further south, while the older section to the north has been forgotten. Ending on a positive note. The beach itself is in great shape.

Great result for the Arses v Chelsea last night 👍The title race is really getting interesting imo

Well I couldn't agree more, Cher is now in too??? Eeeeee gads! Thank god Peter Frampton and Foreigner will both be inducted in October....now......Styx has GOT to be next year!

Today's effort at making a Penang from the paste mixes that I came home with. I just added chicken and onions. Was a bit runny, but work in progress!

Each case is different. Police and insurance being contacted is pretty standard operating procedure though. The guy would have to hand over some serious dosh on the spot for me to let that fly. IMO anyone driving impaired is an automatic shitbag in my book anyway. You got double whammied on that one. One more reason why I don't want to own a motor vehicle of any kind. They're a mountain of expense and hassle. If you drive a car chances are fairly high that if something bad happens in your life a car will somehow be involved.

The site will be used for a new monument to the late King. Pattaya to erect monument honouring King Bhumibol Adulyadej, The Legendary Royal Sailor Pattaya City has unveiled plans to commemorate the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, also known as King Rama IX, through the construction of a monument at the site of the old royal sailing club on Pattaya beach. Deputy Mayor Kritsana Boonsawat presided over a meeting highlighting the city’s dedication to preserving its cultural heritage. The inspiration behind this initiative stems from a historic event where Their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit, accompanied by the Royal Family, sailed in Pattaya Bay decades ago. This event holds immense historical and cultural significance. On April 19, 1966, at 4:28 AM, His Majesty the King personally sailed a 13-foot OK-class sailboat named “Vega” across the Gulf of Thailand, from the Klai Kungwon Royal Palace in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, to Toey Ngam Beach, Sattahip, Chonburi, arriving at 9:28 PM after a 17-hour journey covering 111 kilometres. His remarkable feat conquered challenging weather conditions and numerous obstacles. ...

Absolutely wonderful!! The food and both of you look fantastic !!

And bigger cracks than Barratt Homes ..

T Translation: so no turning. For those that aren't familiar with the car and the uniform: Those are a police officer and a police car.

Some pics from the temple and museum,before these while driving through the army base I found a free zoo,wasn't a nice place to be honest,gibbons,maquak s,black bear and other animals all locked up in small cages,I bought some buckets of fruit and fed them,it's sold by army guys who run the place. Interestingly the museum was built around tools and log coffins the pows found while building death railway,the coffins were discovered in a couple of the caves I'd visited last time.

Like a quote I read once - "If you want to find out who your friends really are, check and see who will help you move your freezer out of the basement on Saturday" - lol....

Everything arrived yesterday so I got my photos done in town straight away. I got a bit confused when they wanted my Thai DL but it was quickly clarified in a phone call to Som. It is for confirmation of my address here. I shall use my Yellow book. M'lady also called the agent she used for her previous husband's visa. He used to pay 26K baht but the price has increased to 33K !! So I am saving 10K with Som. Equally I don't mind paying the extra compared to Pattaya because it'd cost me that much in hotels and travel...and booze of course!!

Progress update on the undeveloped land next to Nirun.

Hi All. Long-Term Expat, hoping to connect with some like-minded people.

Foreigner played at first concert I attended. It was The Day of Rock and Roll, in the Superdome. I still can’t believe our parents let my brothers and I drive over 200 miles to New Orleans by ourselves. My older brother was 17, I was 15 and my little brother was 11 or 12. They would probably be arrested if they did that today. Christopher Cross opened, followed by Cheap Trick, then Foreigner. The Eagles finished out the night. I think the tickets were about $12.

No comment 😟

Tofu curry with Mexican spice rice and mini naan.

Called into Metro bar on LKMetro to say goodbye to my wifes cousin Lisa who works as barmaid/hostess there, to my delight they have Kilkenny on draught.

Pad thai chicken in kanchanaburi.

The one that choked me up was during the tsunami where many many reports of Thais helping the foreigners often at the cost of their own lives. I hear much negative comment about this and especially Thai ladies who the peasants back home immediately assume are bar girls. Not once did I hear any conversationcomme ding the selfless acts of the many thais who gave their lives. Moving further back google Boonpong and brothers in relation to the death railway.

'Twas there that a very drunken Brit proposed to his girlfriend....33 years later....😂

Lunch from the kebab stall in blueport Chicken salad n chips.
