Chappo

haha - very old picture -

some great shots there @john luke

my wifes sister grows plants for all sorts and uses them in cooking if you have ailments.. one for heart, one for blood, one for stomach, one for headace... not saying they work - but they do taste good!

lost ... would love to go back to S1 with a mind wipe - was excellent TV ruined by seriously bad writing in the later series.

hope he takes it easy and doesnt just jump back into work and worry and stress - listens to his body ..

Fauda looks good will have to give it a try. I have started watching Black Summer on Netflix - but i find it a bit meh. Just another zombie series with people making stupid decisions which put them in jeopardy .

steal the bike, fix the puncture and ride the bike around...

As an Everton fan i would say the best thing to come from Aus is Tim Cahill 🙂

its bad if your life and money revolves around bars and titties and getting whoors, but if you just live here and enjoy a good quality of life - its not too bad 🙂 - less noise, less traffic, less boomboomboomboom music 🙂

bit more of a story to this one - the original guy who had smokin joes / steak and co sold it to another guy (and the other guy didnt get any sort of no-competition clause in the sale apparently). He then opened the hungry panda Chinese and grill next door to his old shop - been some shite on facebook about it ... The guy who owns Hungry panda is actually a nice chap 🙂 My opinion - I would just would not do business in Pattaya with any farang 🙂🙂

completely agree - i want the families and the small tour groups back - as they are the people more likely to visit the wife's massage shop than the pussy hungry sexpat. Cant see this happening until next year though - maybe Songkran 2022 will be a start. Until then its just a get by and minimise spend on our shop.

i think its in sleep mode - most mothballed until customers come back. Im trying to find other places to rent - but the owners and landlords want stupid money / key money or unrealistic rents. I looked at the old Eden massage on Soi Diana - and they wanted 2 million key money and 67k rent DURING covid - i told them they were having a joke. I also was looking at the old wetherspoons - and they wanted 85k a month rent - and the agent said the floors above are 'derelict' and would require significant work (holes in roof on the top floor aparently) - needless to say i didnt bother going any further 🙂 the real winners are the landlords and the owner-tennants as they can afford to just sit on it.

did it land like that or was it a nose gear collapse?

lots of work still happening down Soi Boomerang - the guy who owns Pleasure Lounge says he has nearly finished his refurb (been let down by Landlords and Builders) - new 'octopussy' replaces the old bacu lounge - will walk around tomorrow and take some photo's Also Cloud 9 is up for sale. very sad how all businesses are being destroyed by this covid-shit. but i do believe that things will come back and be different.

Those huukers get everywhere ...

on the new hotel in Soi Buakhao 15 they have after 15 months started taking down the dust sheeting - looks like they are finishing the sealing up of the rooms. Still be probably another 12-18 months before the hotel is finished The Hotel will be called the Amethyst - the website has been reported as dodgy - so have linked to their facebook page 🙂 (5) Amethyst Hotel Pattaya | Facebook

i quite like this site of rth em3u's - never had any issues with downloads - some of the streams are geolocked which means using a VPN to access (i use Nord VPN) Free IPTV Download ⋆ IPTV Links M3u Playlist 2020 (ethiopjobs.com)

you can also search m3u free streams on the internet and play them through VLC

quite interesting - i wonder if it will be elevated above the road and if there will finally be a solution to the dangerous junctions with the railway road

google apple facebook et all have been harvesting our data for a very long time. they know who what where why and when 🙂

the only winners are the landlords - many of whom have reduced the rent a bit, have had constant rent from the businesses trying to hold on here with little to no income.

I think the railway line work is for the high speed rail - not a fix for a fix for a fix of the fix for the clusterfuk work done in the first place ...

not found a really decent news site in Thailand - i want more details and more information, not just a 2 minute read. i do listen to 103fm each morning for Tommy's brief. Like if you look at the ST( Singapore Times) - their news is very detailed and give a good 5 mins read. English Thai news is very shallow...

council estate lunch 🙂

piracy plain and simple!
