Popular Post forcebwithu Posted March 24 Popular Post Share Posted March 24 Now recovering from yesterday's hash run. It was hot day out under the sun. Quite a bit of the trail was through cassava fields. Quite happy when the trail brought us shade in rubber tree plantations. 9 km later the beer truck was in sight and liquid refreshments awaited. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was too crowded for my taste, so called it an early evening. I understand a few stayed quite late as HA is probably the #1 place to be on Soi Boomerang. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got to HA around 21:00 and were seated over on the left back by the cashier station. There were 5 of us .... not counting the girls... so 23 altogether at the table...lol. Met the original owner (I want to say his name was Keith?) Was a very nice man, chatted with us for quite some time. Im very impressed with HA. A very well run establishment with some of the most attractive ladies of any bar in that area. Not that I've been in all by any means. It is one of my favorites to sit an relax 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sit by the railings watching the girls leaving the Opey de Place, lovely place to sit and eat, watching the world go by. An old dog would come in each morning to get fed and just laid out on the floor sleeping... Long gone to doggie heaven now I think.. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place to park the car, pop into Bobby's for a pint, short walk to The Star, back to Bobby's with spunky tissues stuck to the bottom of your sandals for another beer before driving back to Ratchprarop ... Happy Days mate !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really the humidity that gets to me, but the oppressive heat of the sun beating down on you when you're out in the open for extended periods of time. I wasn't happy with the trail the hares set. So many opportunities to avoid the farm fields and keep us under shade, but instead, for whatever reason they elected to use the unshaded areas. The worst was one section that went 600m on tarmac road. With the heat it felt like twice the distance. All the while I'm trudging along the road I'm looking to the left at beautiful tree canopy that if I were the hare I would have looped the trail through. For those that aren't familiar with hash runs. There's two or more hares that set trail a day or two before a run. They use hanging paper and bits of shredded paper on the ground to mark the trail. On the day of the run the hounds, us, are dropped off at a start point and we follow the trail to the end where we drink copious amounts of beer and tell embarrassing stories about our fellow hashers. The link below is to the run report for Saturday's run. You can view run photos and a map of the trail that we ran, or in my case mostly walked. Hopefully later today we'll also have posted a scribe report detailing in humorous fashion the day's run. https://pattayamonkeyh3.com/PMH3/RunReportLkup.html?109 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
