Just passing Wat Arun on a dinner cruise.

Did you take the stairs ??

Waiting in new terminal for doha flight. Must be thai restaurants somewhere ,but I opted for a mcdonalds breaky and can't be arsed moving from these comfy chairs at my gate. I like the design and set up tho,plenty of space,at the currency exchange she didn't have Qatar riyal,and only 50 notes fir British currency,need a few more eaterys tho unless there's some up the other end.

Whilst I don't disagree with that comment, soi 6 has an amazing selection of girls right now ranging from your tug o war team through to 35kgs wet through spinners. I think the saddest thing for me is that you could probably get a decent tug o war team out of many gogos now too, both in Pattaya and Bkk.

Roasting alive at Wat Arun.

Cod n Chips with my Dad , it's his 86th B'day 🥳

Just doing some "reminiscing" while in LOS..

Yeah Nikon makes great equipment too......the technology these days is amazing as far as these DSLR's and Lenses. Are you happy with your Nikon? We have come a long way since I first bought my first camera 50 years ago in 1974...Minolta SRT 101....scraped by as a struggling college student to buy a "Vivitar" 135MM lens for concerts...can never forget using a roll of 36 Kodak Ektachrome film back in the day. The challenge was after you took your first 36 pictures, could you unload it at a concert, and re-load your next roll of film without dropping it LOL! Yeah and a few "bong hits" didn't help either LOL! 20 or so years ago, Costco started taking slides and transferring them to a CD.... Glad I survived all of it back in the 70's...these concert pics and others are priceless to me.

I wish they would stick to a traditional Thai diet. Whatever happened to the typical Thai girl's description of: Long black shiny hair Five feet 4 inches tall 45 kilo's, wet through. If Soi6 put out a ladies tug of war team they would not have a shortage of prospective anchor women.

Tonights dinner at The Kitchen. Starters were Tom Yum gai for myself,Dim sum for Wie. I had Lamb chops and my Wife had Pad Thai gung.I had an amazing dessert which involved a chocolate cookie base topped with sliced banana vanilla ice cream with a jug of hot toffee sauce poured over the top.

Back in my drinking days I’d have drunk paint stripper and diesel.

I hate it when they put an unnecessary apostrophe in my ads.

Homemade meatballs, served on a splat of mustard and parmisan mash, with onion and mushroom gravy

Sunsetting from the 78th floor of King Power's Maha Nakon.

A spiced up beef stew in the slow cooker on a bed of buttered mash.

Just for you Larry, braved the heat this afternoon to check out Penthouse. Doors were locked and looked like nobody was home.

Packed,leave early ish for bangkok tomorrow,1 night bkk then flight Fri morning to UK. Now away out for a slap out meal which neither of us can decide where 🤔

I took my wife to The Manor House at a Castle Coombe today for our wedding anniversary - a lunch- spotted this beauty in the car park.

Mushroom tagliatelle, potatoes with Perl peri sauce, avocado sushi and mixed vegetables with herbs and spices.

Sat in The Kitchen in Lamai having just received my litre of Chang, now waiting for our starters to arrive.

Finally cracked, couldn't face another chicken sausage and warmed up processed ham at the hotel buffet.So took a taxi to O'malleys Irish pub on the Si lom rd for an Irish breakfast minus the eggs,my wife had what she described as a lovely Pad Thai Gung.

Onion bhaji with garlic chilli chicken , Bombay aloo

Cod and chips for me tonight with curry sauce.

Chicken, caramelised onion and mayo roll

Back from a walk up hin lek fai.

Some salmon and salad

Main reason for the testing was because of my family history, both my parents and sister all died from cancer in their 50’s, so I was high risk, but everything has been okay.

Breaded chicken ...forgot to add salt to the flour 😞 ..., with mushroom gravy, spiced roast spuds and honey glazed veg

Chicken Jalfrezi

Recovering from this morning’s 10 miles. 4 degrees and cold rain all the way round, lovely! The sun has come out now I’m sat in the pub 🙄

Tonight’s dinner booked at the local golf club.

Eating dinner at a ramen shop centre of doha,have 11 hour stopover so go train to karate village,then had a wander,noticed no females on the train hmm.

I cheated. I rode my motorbike to the comer of Soi 15 and 2n Rd and walked about 50m to take the pics.

It's so damn hot in Isaan that even the cacti are trying to escape!

Packing for the Hua Hin trip

I have somehow become a watermelon farmer now too... I have about four plants spidering their way aimlessly in all directions and I now have four or five watermelons growing quite big now.. The thing is M'Lady insists that she didn't plant any! My theory is that they came from a cow's arse! Y'see I mentioned about a month ago that I was distributing sacks of manure around the orchard for M'Lady to empty out for planting. These sacks are from her sister's cows next door and I've seen her brother feeding them watermelons!! I don't care as long as they taste nice !!!

There's also a very good hospital called "Samitivej" near Si Racha - The issue here is that it is not cheap, but the Neurologist there is second to none. The problem is in many Thai Hospitals is that with these kinds of cases they often opt for invasive treatment as a first rather than a last resort - with that comes increased costs. They'll run a CT and MRI, see what damage has been done or if it's an ongoing brain bleed and then will offer treatment. It's important to establish whether it's a TIA or stroke. I've a mate who has been to 3 different hospitals and had 3 different prognosis with 3 different costs attached. The guy at Saitivej basically found the issue which was down to a conflict of meds the previous Thai hospital had given him. Make sure he takes all his current meds with him, especially if he's on Apixaban or any other anti coagulant / thinner.

They have been really good because you have been really good mate. No one can do it for ya and you have prevailed. Long may it last.

Home drunk last night from meeting a few mates in the local. Mixed chicken and donna meat kebab and large potatoes.

Went out for a Chinese with friends
