Packing....

😞

Ditto. Hope to see you soon. Need to catch up on Miss Bank from Babydolls. Larry said awhile back that he ran into her in Pattaya. 

Finishing up my cup of coffee and getting ready to head down to rub elbows with Phi. I still have a tab with the gentleman and aim to pay up with interset.

If I was back in UK I'd be searching for a pint of your namesake ... Old Thumper brewed by Ringwood Brewery ... Lush !!!

There are some things that you just can't improve on.

I loved waking up this morning knowing that I really was in Pattaya rather than back home just wishing I was here.

Thanks guys, I backed that up with 2 x 50's this morning. 

Happy days. 🍻

It would seem that you are having a pretty damn good day MrB.

Been walking all morning so stopped in at Starbucks in Central shopping mall for my 4pm caramel marciado (sp?). It's great to be back in town

I think this is AI generated but I still love it

I love Joe Walsh.  I met him in Phoenix a million years ago. I have never met anyone who hit the alcohol and drugs as hard as he did. I had a good friend that was a music promoter and brought a lot of the big names into Phx for performances. It was a wild and crazy time. He has been clean an sober now for a long time.

Well here I am in the Denver Airport.  I've got a 3 hour layover here and then off on a lovely 13 hour flight to Tokyo.  It's a great opportunity to catch up on all the movies that I didn't really want to watch in the first place. 

That's looking pretty good compared to my last visit

Wheels up Durango tomorrow morning ( March 12th) at 7am for Denver.

Dgo to Denver 2 hours.  Denver to Tokyo 13 hours.  Tokyo to Bangkok 7 hours.  Taxi to Pattaya 1 1/2 hours.

I arrive Bkk just after midnight, gather luggage, out to taxi stand and arrive Pattaya around 2:30 am on. All in all it will be a 30 hour travel day.  Its a brutal day but worth every minute. I thinks its been 3 years since I last strolled down Walking Street 

Been a bit of time since I've posted. The  major improvement that I noticed going through the last bunch of pages is that the menus and photo skills of everyone here have improved immensely.  I guess 2 years of covid will do that to a person.

The county I live in has a small population with Durango being the largest city. Total population is around 36,000. We are a major tourist destination and millions pass through every year. But this month we have had an daily average  of 22 new cases reported every day. Last September we averaged 19 people testing positive every day for covid19.

The GF and I have both had our 3rd vaccine shots and were glade to get them. We are both in our 70s and willingly wear our masks when out an about. But we are the exception. The vest majority that we see are going bareback. ALL our grocery stores and most restaurants require masks at all times but that's about it.

Because of the shut downs in the beginning we didn't have many cases at all. For the longest time we were well under 50 cases total. But after everything opening back up and the tourists started their mass exodus of the big city's we are now over 6000 positive cases reported. And it's growing daily. All we can do is try to be smart in keeping our little bubble safe.

Im feeling is that this thing is never going away and will most probably keep reinventing its self into something newer and nastier 

My Stepfather used to say that the world needs a good plague, a good famine and a few World Wars as a way of thinning down on the population. 

Me.... I just want a few more Great trips to Pattaya and meet up with all the friends that I've made there over the years.

 

Oooops

Just had my 3rd shot of the vaccine
