Snide, copies, but really good quality. Not sure what connections he has with what factories, but they're good for copies, and not expensive. Do they do (fat bastard) large sizes?

Popular Post Derek Dangleberries Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 So, I'm back home !! Shopping:- - Mikes Shopping Mall for Nike Trainers 600 Baht - Tony Candy's for a baseball cap and two pairs of shorts. All good quality and each was 250 Baht. - Thailand Night Market for a shirt 250 Baht. Food:- - Mainly PBG and lots of Leffe Brun !!! Bars:- So many that they are just a blur..but the ones worth a mention. - Danny's for the football. I was surprised to see it so empty until I realised that I was an hour early. It was jam packed later of course - Inferno on pothole was a nice little bar mainly for the girls in see through skimpy nighties. Two in particular were bloody delicious. They said they were 25 but I suspect that they were much younger. - Bizarrely I quite liked the complex on 2nd road opposite Soi Honey. It had a couple of really crap Thai singers plus whomever wanted to get up and sing. It transported me back to caravan park holidays in the 70s. So fucking crap that it is quite fun..!! - A special shout out to a bar on Skeaw Beach road..I had spent the day walking and drinking elsewhere but thought I'd check out Danny's before going for a shower.. Anyways a girl called me into a bar then grabbed my willy and dangleberries.....After 6 hours of walking, drinking and pissing I was stinking so I gently held her hand then quickly held it up to her nose..For some reason she screamed, punched me and ran back into the bar!!! Happy Days !! 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Bar have a happy hour until midnight, think all drinks are 50 Baht ... none of the "bogof" bollocks where you have to drink an even number of drinks 😉 Yep, I forgot to mention Time Bar in my earlier post.. Exactly as you say but I have neighbours that work in the vicinity so I left when the other bars started to liven up. I dislike visiting friends in their workplace disregarding what job it is .. But Time is a damned good spot to sit and watch the area slowly livening up.. Sort of like sitting in the bars on WS in the 90s... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 One thing I didn't mention was taking a walk up Soi 7 Saturday night. It had to be between 18:30 (that was when I left Danny's because I was too early) and 22:01 (because I was sitting elsewhere watching the first Bournemouth goal go in) !!! Beach road was fucking jam packed! One thing that pissed me off was the rotating searchlight above the music stage because it was shining directly into the eyes of all the pedestrians every minute or so as it swung round. Anybody that has approached a remote RUC station in a civilian car at midnight in the 80s knows the feeling !!! All the bars were busy, most with their own bands but when I turned to walk up soi 7 it was getting quieter and quieter until I got to the stretch of NTVi bars. It seemed that all the outside seats were occupied by girls with about 10 customers dotted around inside the whole stretch of the first 2 bars. Oddly enough though, not one of those girls acknowledged my presence. It could just be that at that stage I was the spits of John Mills in Ryan's daughter but they just sat there like the balloon targets in a Thai fairground darts stall!! So that was when I decided to take the first half of the footie in the Butlitz Red Coat singalong bar... Funny as f**k, and I'm not just referring to the first Bournemouth goal!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Too late to add in an edit but the Thai woman singer in the Butlitz Singalong Bar singing Zombie was unintentionally singing "With their bongs and their blunts .... ya ya ya ya !!! " ... But to counteract any more negativity, some of the "random" singers were quite good..Especially a Black American bloke and a lovely Thai girl doing a couple of my favourite Thai songs and the main male singer did good versions of "Forty Fy" and Pattaya Pattaya!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nice bars, good location with some very nice looking women. But all those tables facing Soi 7 (ie a good spot) have speakers most of the distance along the Soi above your head and were blasting out loud music even 4, 5 & 6 pm - too loud to enjoy a quiet beer or whatever. I just paid up and departed. Pity really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just paid up and departed. Pity really. I was briefly in the NDTV bar, whatever its called that used to be Annajet. Wouldn't have said the music was especially loud, but just dreadful dance stuff, I'd rather go the dentist!! Very few punters, couple of fan boys in bar merchandise but that was about it. Also was in the Coyote place over the road, pretty lame in their. Young lads ringing the bell, very average line up, and corny sing along to that Alice song. Reports of Soi 7's coming back from the dead are greatly exaggerated. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
