Slightly off topic but me and a couple of pommy oil workers and a couple of marines walk in to ladylove insoi lk and a couple of guys my age come in and sit down next to me and my oil worker mate starts getting excited and tells me your sitting next to Jimmy white the snooker champion any way we got a group photo 

Jimmy is a lover of Pattaya. Seen him a few times.

That is "So Nice", a long time ago known as "Las Vegas II" (or maybe it was "Las Vegas III").

@Nightcrawler will find some very compatible ladies in there.

🙂

Oh my God. In this video the girl in the gold bikini was working in Las Vegas about 20 years ago. She has dodgy eye and a pineapple complexion,and always looked  as miserable as sin. 

If or when I venture to take a look at those Sois, I will probably avoid "So Nice" or not so nice 😁😁😁😁

She must have had several miles of cock since then and probably  about 50. Sad really.

There is a little hidden away short time (hotel) joint a little down the Soi. Not far from Hops. You practically need a guide dog to help you find it, but can be very usefull (and discreet). 

The towels are very crusty though (as if they are washed repeatedly in the same water).

 

I would never dream of renting such an establishment 😁😁

Soi Yamato used to be one of my main go to Soi's. I usually stay on Soi 13. There is a handy cut through that you can use and come through that Sandic (sp) place. Virtually less than a 2 minute walk.

Not much has changed - same same

Try it sometime and let Butch sleep off his lub hangover.

I heard that TittyTwister has now reopened on 13/2. Probably  not owned by the two American guys as before and probably nothing like the original bar with the monkey in the corner. Had some good nights there in yesteryear. 

Oops,  I made a mistake in my earlier post. I meant soi Yamato, not Chayapoon. Always get those names mixed up. Soi Pothole has transformed itself from its early days, apart from the rugged landscape under foot 

I plan to hire a m/cycle for a few days and do some reconnaissance missions 

Haven't been to Naklua, either, in recent years. 

Will be trying the new Vegas complex in Diana for the first time in a couple of weeks. 

On my last trip.we visited Dao bar on the DS. Hadn't been there in years, hardly recognisable from outside. Enjoyed it though but few customers there when we visited  

I always used to try and remember the name of that Soi 13/1 as it rhymes with tomato.

Must say, that I have not visited the likes of Soi Chaiyapoon and Soi Post Office for yonks, since pre Covid days. 

Any recommendations of bars/gogos in these Sois, perhaps that weren't there before ? Getting bored with LK and Buahkao these days. 

Have Chaiyapoon  and PO had a  face-lift ? Are Nevada and Far East Rock, Pump Station  still in existence?

Yes, that's the flight I usually take.

Historically it is late most days because they seem to fail to turn it around at Swampy when it originally comes in from Taipei the day before. That puts it late into Heathrow, thus late leaving to come back to Swampy. Often it makes up a bit of time in this direction though!

It wouldn't surprise me if they are slow turning it around going in your direction too, but have never looked at it.

Glad you are home safe, well nearly home!

Yes me too and it's been like that for months  usually make up time on the way but rarely arrive on time at BKK. 

Has it started to get any cooler in Pattaya ?

Had my second consultation with an ENT  specialist this morning, following my hearing test last week. We discussed my hearing loss and Tinnitus. He didn't think that the two were necessarily linked. Because the Tinnitis is more ore less on both sides, he ruled out having an MRI brain scan. 

He recommended an app on my phone which may help as I am going to sleep called Ambience and also suggested a sound pillow.

I have accepted a hearing aid which apparently will be free and I shall have to wait a couple of months to recieve it at my next appointment. 

One interesting thing I picked up on, was that he said, that the ringing noise is actually the sound of my nervous system. 

I wouldn't say either my hearing loss or Tninitus is debilitating at present but I think it was wise to start doing something about it Now. 

I think the device will be free under NHS because I am a follow on cancer patient at the hospital and I should imagine the device he will prescribe would otherwise be quite expensive privately, although I don't yet know the specific brand yet. 

Either way, it's better than using an "ear trumpet" 😁

Just took a remote hearing test. Results were, my hearing sucks.

 

I went for a hearing test at St George's ENT in London last week and have a second apt tommorrow. 

I have a hearing loss and Tinnitus since radiotherapy 5 years back. 

I knew things weren't right but kinda left it thinking maybe I just needed ear clean. The consultant was talking about a pair of hearing aids which apparently can be controlled by smartphone via Bluetooth and be used for voice calls and music etc. 

I can live with slight reduced high frequency loss, but the Tinitus drives me mad at times. 

We can talk.in sign language next we meet for coffee 🥲

Makes me think, when I occasionally have a moan about Pattaya, what it must have been like during Covid lockdown. Terrible times everywhere around the globe, but how quickly we have recovered and take normality for granted.  How quickly too Pattaya has recovered and now a thriving city. 

I feel for the businesses that went bust and those who suddenly had no work. No furlows like we had in UK and little social subsistence. People often living on the street and queuing for food and water.

We got through it, and are the lucky ones, whilst many didn't make it to live another day. 

Apparently  the eGate issue has been resolved according to BBC news. Let's hope so. 

Being stuck in a queue for over 90 minutes, especially after a long flight would have been hell

Travel chaos at airports across UK - as London and Manchester confirm nationwide border issue

https://news.sky.com/story/travel-chaos-at-airports-across-uk-as-london-and-manchester-confirm-nationwide-border-issue-13131309

 

Whilst Border Force and Home Office have apologised, there seems to be little detail as what has caused the problem and how long it may continue.

Of course, no compensation for those that may have missed their connections to public transport or onward UK flight from the airport to home as a consequence of delays at Immjgration.

I’m just back from the gym so might have a wank before my shower.

You know it makes sense 😁😁

Jak Jones can hold his head up high. Now in the top 16 and 200k better off. He beat some top players on his way to the final

If they talk like John Wayne, they've probably got more than herpes.

I had a few days of walking like John Wayne a few years ago whilst in Pattaya.

I went commando and whilst mounting my motorbike, I sat straight on my scrotum.  Very painful experience it was too. 

After that,  I made sure that the boys were kept safety in the barracks at all times.

I have found that since retirement  my stress levels have gone down considerably.  That said  I believe that positive stress can be useful as a driver. Is there such a thing?  I think if I was a bit more stressed, I would be less sedentary. Stress and anxiety are closely linked and most often I find that things I most worry about are never as bad as first thought.   When I was working,there were days, weeks when my stress levels were through the roof and it used to zap energy.

Any stress I have these days is related to my health
