  1. I let Prime Day pass so today took advantage of early Black Friday sale on Amazon and bought this: HP Newest Stream 14" HD Laptop, Intel Celeron Quad-Core Processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 64GB eMMC, 1 Year Office 365, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, RJ-45, Webcam, USB Type-A&C, w/GM Accessories I couldn't see the value of a Chromebook over a laptop. My bad experience with my old Ipad kept me from buying a new one. So I hope this laptop does the job. It didn't cost much at $239.
  2. I have a reservation at the Dandy Dan. I checked prices yesterday, and my same room would be about $400 US higher if I booked it now. I'll check the rates at the Courtyard and see how they compare. Although I love a lavish breakfast, I can sometimes settle for good coffee. UPDATE: I did switch to the Marriott Courtyard downtown. The price was quite similar to the Dandy Da-an.
  3. My first exposure to a foreign toilet was in Mae Sai ,up near the border with Myanmar. I had urgent diarrhea and finally found a restroom. It was a hole in the floor, and no toilet paper. I used it because I had to, but after I asked my Thai friend to help me find a place that sold toilet paper. It was not easy, but he found it!
  4. I hope that you don't flush them, even if the box says "flushable." PS: I think the site should show many more examples of clean butt holes so everyone gets the point!
  5. Many, many Thais have Chinese ancestry.
  6. He will if he goes to Patpong.

    A Sad End

    Whatever its faults, this website does allow some human/gay connection. I would miss it if it ceased operating.

    This is scary

    Well, I am glad that he made it safely home. Not sure what being there in person accomplished. The Jordan trip would have been helpful. I hear they had to stop Kamala Harris from measuring the drapes in the Oval Office.

    I don't think Biden should be visiting Israel right now.
  10. Forgive my ignorance, but how does a Chromebook compare to a laptop?
  11. Last month when I went to 117 on a Tuesday, it was delightful. Packed and loads of fun.
  12. My Ipad does not do well on the internet. Pages don't load or load very slowly. I realize that may be a low wi-fi input, but my home wi-fi produces the same result. I thought a laptop would be better for surfing the internet.
  13. Hi I want to buy a relatively inexpensive laptop for traveling, but I want a good one. It's Prime Day on Amazon, but they are mostly brands I have never heard of. Is there a tech savvy guy or two here who could look and advise on what is the best choice? Here's what I thought might be good: https://www.amazon.com/URAO-Quad-Core-Lightweight-Computer-Bluetooth/dp/B0CF9VHS45/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2EX0OFCBVF9U0&keywords=laptop&psr=PDAY&qid=1696977804&s=pbdd&sprefix=laptop%2Cpbdd%2C113&sr=1-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.ac2169a1-b668-44b9-8bd0-5ec63b24bcb5 Thanks for your help!

  14. Better question: Are the customers doing anything to protect themselves?
  15. Great! All the more for me! I'm too old to party every night until dawn.
  16. Pre-pandemic we stayed at the W. It's very nice and the buffet breakfast was superb.
  17. I am also booking directly for my Thailand trip in January. I like to stay in different hotels and get a different experience. So far, I have booked two hotels, with two to go.
  18. I did book this hotel for my last weekend. The price was lower as they are doing maintenance. But still expensive.
  19. I looked into booking the Le Meridien for the first week of January. It's $300 US a night including breakfast. Yet when I used the Marriott website to book it, they responded that I needed to choose another guarantee method. I have no idea what they are talking about.
  20. The novel, Bangkok 8, is well worth reading for Thailand fans. John Burdett wrote it.
  21. I guess what the bill should be. If it is close to that, I just pay it without further inquiry.

    Is there a secret meaning to the headline? If not, where is 20239?
