Well, if Nana, Cowboy, Patpong and Pattaya are shite, then I guess the glory days are over? Sad but true? Maybe I should just go outside and sit at wifeys cement table drinking Spy Wine Coolers?

Some people couldn't have a good time if they won the lottery and lived in a mansion with 10 super models! There is plenty of fun to be had in most places if you are a fun person methinks. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Just changed hotels. The room safe didn't work. I presumed batteries, but the maintenance man declared it dead and would need to swap it out with another room. Ok says me, how long? Thinking he has to unbolt two safes, then re fit. With that he just picks the safe up and walks out with it. LOL. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went downhill when they set up the market. certainly not worth a trip across town unless staying in the vicinity. My issues with it was just walking through.

Yes and no. I think I have have been coming to Pattaya too long. Many of the bars, if not most, you get taken for a c+nt these days. Its not just me, but others here I talk to. Doesn't matter whether you are a Newbie or an old hand. I started to get bored after a week and running out of places to go outside of the LK, Buakhao circuit. Groundhog day again. I think I'll have a quiet one tonight maybe a few in Jibbys, where you get NO hassle and the staff are friendly. Picking up a Honda Click in the morning for daytime use to do some reconnaissance missions. Instead of lying in bed till midday, which doesn't help. I'm getting on a bit now and I don't have the energy levels that I used to have. Get back ache if I do too much walking. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondropkid Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Sat in Woodstock soi 88, Hua H. Really top class blues rock band, bit surreal how good they are playing an open air bar.

Without doubt people are getting older and wanting different things to what they used to. This is where you have to adapt, get off your ass, stop complaining and do something fresh. I have had to do this for the past few years too! Good for you for breaking the cycle. Just don't hurt yaself. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting on a bit now and I don't have the energy levels that I used to have. Get back ache if I do too much walking. In years gone by my holidays in Pattaya were full on 7 or 14 day binges of beer, girls and nitelife. Used to have a great time and feel stress relieved and normalized at the end - ready for another 4 months work. The first sign of a crack in the routine was my body rejecting more that 4 or 5 days of heavy drinking, i used to wake up with aches and a depression. The end of the holiday was spoilt by an ever increasing recovery period. I think the key is something rather elusive, a hobby. The only criteria being that it doesn't involve drinking. Could be an activity, perhaps a gentle sport, reading at the beach, learning Thai, or an evening oil massage. It's got to be enjoyable and, for me, interupt the drinking to have a later start or even a missed day. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on assessment Stu, yeah things have changed for sure, and yes we are ALL getting a bit older and do not have the same energy levels a few years back. in my case, all I need is one gal to crack some jokes with, laugh and have a few drinks with and I should be OK. I am going to have a blast none the less meeting you and others tomorrow night. Dam the humidity has been brutal the last few days here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with the improvement I've seen over the last several years in the electric company's response to power outages. In my area there have been a couple of loud booms followed by power outages. Latest was last week that I think had a cascade effect. I was told a squirrel shorted the transformer close to my house, but a power surge must have also tripped out a transformer along Arunotai. Power was back on in less than an hour both times. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm back from this morning's jobs...The broom shop was closed so went for a haircut.

Nightcrawler Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Picked up a Honda Click quite early this morning. Drives well and plenty of meat on the brake disks. Humidity has shot up since rain yesterday and last night. Sweating like a rapist today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
