And meanwhile, across the road at the basement level of Central Festival, we had a band playing very non-Indian music. The poster advertising the Holi weekend describes them as "Live Band by Iskcon" (whatever that means!).

I was speaking with a friend who I have known for about 11 years. At that time, she worked in a WS gogo. Sparked by the pandemic, she went home to Isaan for about 4 years, but most recently has worked at Juicy Lucy on Soi Bongkot. She shares a room with 4 other girls, and all 4 of them also worked at JL. The mamasan at JL had an issue with one of the girls, and the girl had to leave, so it was "one out, all out"! They have all been employed by a beer bar on Beach Road, near to Klang. However, it seems the boss there is building up a group of girls who he will move to a new gogo he is starting on Soi 13/4. I will watch this with interest!

This is the one with coloured paint splashing! Previously, it has been only one day - now expanded to three. It will have some big act called F Hero headlining. Big traffic queues are expected again this weekend - and there is the Music Festival in Jomtien to add to the problem.

Sat at The Nest, thinking the 3 Welsh guys sat near me should know that it's rude to eat with your stomach on the table.

Here's the pirate boat for you, without being distracted by the girls 😀:

Rehearsals on the beach this afternoon:

Would your boobs make it a good impersonation? 🙂

Ditto, but 15 minutes 😢

Went through Security at LHR, Terminal 2, a short while ago. Liquids and laptops now have to remain in your bag, you have to take off your footwear if it extends above the ankles, and everyone gets a full body scan.

I heard that it was only the bit north of Klang that was going to be closed. I wonder if all or part of 2nd Rd will become 2-way.

I was surprised to see this: I recall the LK Metro gogos being stopped from opening in the afternoons some years ago as they didn't have the appropriate permissions. I think this place doing so now will either be stopped quickly or the competitors will have to follow suit. I hope the latter. 😆

That's a shame. Not everyone has a smartphone with access to WhatsApp, Line, etc. so Skype has proven very useful up to now.

They need to tarmac the whole bloody soi! 😠
