BANGKOK, Feb 6 (TNA) Thailand's government in its weekly cabinet meeting Tuesday agreed to reopen the former Don Muang airport for both domestic and international flights, making it an additional international airport to supplement the problem-plagued new Suvarnabhumi Airport. Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont told reporters after the meeting that the cabinet resolution to let Bangkok have two international airports is to cater for growing number of passengers. During this time Don Muang airport must be readied as another international airport, the prime minister said, without giving further detail. The former facility was decommissioned as Bangkok's p…

About a year and a half ago I posted a news item that said Thailand was going to build a highway between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son. The present road between the two cities is a beautiful drive, but quite difficult for the driver because of the long stretches of snaking, narrow mountain roads. It takes a good six to seven hours to make the drive. According to the following article, the proposed highway has been scrapped due to the cost and now a cable car system between the two cities is proposed. I know very little about cable cars. Does a cable car system 120 kilometers long, approximately the same as the distance between Bangkok and Pattaya, seem like a p…

I understand that there is s go-cart track in South Pattaya. Does anyone have any history of using the track...do the Thai boys like the place? Also, and information on cost, hours of operation, conctact numbers, etc. would be very helpful.

Ok, I am a bit "strange" compared to the majority of gays in Pattaya, but I am in my 40's, still fit and just want to meet other gay men that also have a goal in life, a job...whatever. The only gay bar I know of in Pattaya is Panorama and it is 90% money/beach boys. Is this the only bar to meet other "gays"????? I find BKk's Balcony and Telephone bar close to what I am looking for,but Panorama is mostly money boys. Aren't there gay established Thai men in this area that aren't just the nellie, go-go bar type? Am I clueless of a "normal"gay bar in Pattaya? -From Boystown in Chicago

Update: Wednesday night January 31st... A short note to let you know that The Gay Pattayan - Allen - has been admitted to the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital at 6:00pm Wednesday January 31st. During the past few days it has become apparent that Allen was in stress and his appearance was cause of concern for his friends. A checkup this Wednesday morning by his Cardiologist ( who implanted his heart pacemaker the first week of Jan 2007) showed that the Pacemaker is fine...he is to return in 6 months for another exam by his Cardiologist. However, his checkup and scans of GP's brain by his Neurosurgeon revealed "complications" has allowed water to again collect o…

They point out fundamental errors in design and space management.

Just returned home from my first trip to Thailand. I am still having withdrawal symptoms as I don't know if I can still live my previous lifestyle. Very hard to think of work when I constantly dream of setting in Wild West Boys or Splash. Just wish I had discovered Thai heaven earlier in life. Would like to send some kind of small gift to a special Thai boy. Has anyone found anything that is either not available to a Thai boy or would be appreciated as a gift from the US. Obviously US dollars, but I want him to have something that he would keep around a while. And, is there any problems with US mail or would you suggest FedEx or UPS for Pattaya. A…

I received the following in an E-mail. I am posting the significant portions of that E-mail. Also, by sheer coincidence, last night I was dropping off a friend at the condo at which both he and GP reside. At that moment Ken (GP's Thai boyfriend) and GP were coming out of the condo. It was obvious that he was in bad shape again. That was a difficult moment to bear because only a few days before, just after his operation, he seemed to be in such good shape and good spirits: _____ He is very ill again and has gone grey faced even more than Monday when I saw him. Wally, Ken & Wayne were there today and Allen has lost all brain power cannot remember safe or …

Engineer suspects airport cover-up An expert engineer yesterday voiced suspicion that people in the last Thaksin Shinawatra government covered (up)over cracks in the runways at Suvarnabhumi airport. Tortrakul Yomnak, a member of Airports of Thailand (AoT), said like other engineers, he used to believe that cracks at the new airport were ''technical cracks'', which are not unusual during construction. Mr Tortrakul also inspected the airport in 2005 after the Bangkok Post ran stories about cracks in the runways. ''I'd never thought there were real cracks on the runway until recently when I went back to inspect the airport, and I remembered that the runway …
