My oh my what a few days we have had. The rain seems to be endless. The sun seems to have left us for another time. The streets are overflowing. The bars are not as busy as normal. The motorcycle accidents are on the rise. I had to laugh yesterday as I saw a family near my home wading through about 4 feet of water singing songs to pass the time as they waded. What other option could they have? They were soaked, singing and happy to be in Pattaya. Thus, the wonderful nature of the beast. I use to summer in New England for many years and was told, if you can't stand the winters you don't deserve the summers. Same is true for here. If you can't take the rain with a smile, you don't deserve the good times that are a coming.

They did not paint anyone's kitchren. All talk and little action. LOL But, it was fun to at least watch the attempts to paint.

Well, I was there when it happened 2 times so I did see it with my own eyes. Also, I know there are many that go there to watch the "show." Sitting with LMTU tonight at Corner bar and 2 very sexy boys kept begging for a short time. Both were very sexy. When you live here, you often forget how amazing the boys are. LMTU said, "if you were in any other place in the world, you would die to spend 10 min with either of these guys." He was right. That is just one of the reasons the place is paradise. But, you also have to help things out and put yourself out there. The more you are known as someone who likes to have a good time, the more offers you get. The more you sit around complaining, the more you will find to complain about.

Apple really struck gold when they made the Ipod. The Ipod is the player they created to play music and video. Itunes.com is the place where people with Ipods go to download their music and video. Itunes is also a program that is on your computer that interacts with the site. It keeps track of all of your music and video. It organizes them and even will tell you what is new that you want to download. Currently, there are tons of TV shows that are available. I particularly enjoy Desperate Housewives, Survivor, Big Brother, Fat Actress, Weeds, Convict, Commander and Chief and Wildfire. They have a very nice variety of selections available. Music costs 99 cents per song and shows cost 1.99 per song. Most of the videos available are from the USA but I am sure others are planned. It has just about all artists for the music portion. Full-length movies are new and there are not many choices. However, there will be. It has just started and they add to things very quickly. I really enjoy the music from there and play it on my Ipod whenever I go on a trip. You can watch the videos on your Ipod, your computer or on your TV. The quality is amazing as it is digital. I do watch the shows on a large wide screen and the clarity is amazing. It was my first IPod that got me hooked on Macs and now that is all I purchase. They produce the best and fastest of computers and they have great customer service. Hope this helps both of you.

Not afraid at all. I knew them all and most had been to my home. I have great security that really takes good care of me and holds ID's for me till someone leaves and if anyone ever had a bag of anything, they call and check to make sure it is ok. I also have a home manager that watches out for me. I know it sounds crazy, but I learned on my last trip that my group of boys were not to be trusted and this go around I have one guy I have known for years who looks after me and the house. He keeps an eye out for everything and managed things very well last night. LMTU actually suggested I hire someone that I really trust to take care of things for me. I did and it has been the best money I have spent in Thailand. There is no sex involved and he is simply amazing. His English is perfect and he makes everything run very smoothly. Lastly, I grew up on the streets myself and am pretty savvy when it comes to safety. I do frequent Latin American countries often and would not let many ever come back to my home. But, I guess I do feel much safer here than I should.

I love being in Thailand, I do miss many things about being stateside. The main thing is the TV shows and Blockbuster. I have been downloading ITunes for the TV shows often and love to see all the latest shows the morning after they are broadcast in the US. Now, they have started to offer movie downloads as well. It is great. I download a few today and am excited to watch them as I have not found the ones I wanted in Thailand.

LOL. Thanks but I didni't have sex with 12 of them. Only one of them. I think I will make him my new husband. Although, I planned to teach him who the boss was, he had a different agenda and I think he called me his bitch sometime last night. I love parties and tours. You are always welcome. However, I am not really a party animal. I have never been drunk and am actuallly quite boring. I just saw an opportunity for the boys to get out of the rain for a night and seized it. I did think I would be alone at the end of the night but after 4 bottles of whisky, no one wanted to return home. Now, all are awake but one and I thought they would all leave. It started to rain again and they said they were here for a while. So, I just ordered pizza and making the best out of it. It is nice to have 10 sexy boys in boxers walking around my place. I should have sent out invites but I'll just say, this one is one I won't forget for a while. PS. The boxers belong to my exes as all were wet last night after the rain. If I didn't have the extras, I don't know what they would be wearing.

> I >wonder why these guys end up in Portland of all places? I was wondering the same thing. Honestly, I don't know much about the west coast guys. I was an avid New Yorker and all the sexy PR hustlers seem to flock to Port Authority years ago. I often wondered if they had a sign in San Juan directing them to NYC.

Did you happen to find out the going rate of the street trade? Thanks for the report.

Actually, we have a few of them join our party too and they had a good time. One boy I had not seen in months and he said he moved from a gogo bar to the Karaoke. It was great to see him again as he was very sweet and charming. On a side note, I hate sleepovers. However, last night, they all came home with me and I ended up with 12 guys sleeping over. Right now all are asleep except for the ones that are early risers.

Let me add my note of congratulations. We all have our addictions and our path to leave them behind in our life is not easy. I love coke. No, not the illegal kind but the one with caffein. It is no where near as difficult to give up as cigs. I wish you the best on your journey. I hope that you are able to stick to the path. Good luck!

I got caught up in a downpour last night in Pattaya. Luckily, I was in the gay bar area. So, I offed a few boys and we went to Karaoke. Normally, I hate Karaoke nights. But, this was an exception. I picked 10 very lively guys that I knew would enjoy each other and a night on the town. We went to a local Karaoke place and were the only ones there. The boys really ruled the night. They were on stage singing and dancing and have a great time. A few of them had never been out with other friends before for Karaoke without a Farange who was possessive or jealous. ? I am both but not with someone that is not a boyfriend. They all interacted well together and all had a fantastic time. I loved watching them as they really were on top of the world. They keep saying they were so happy and best night they ever had in Pattaya. All I kept thinking was, damm, so many sexy boys dancing in front of me, the only old man in the place. 4 bottles of whiskey was bought and the cost of the entire night for about 3 hours was 4k bath. For those that have not had a Karaoke experience in Thailand, I suggest you take a few boys who are lively and seem to have a good time wherever they are. Take them with no strings attached and let the fun begin.

Yep. I was just there and it took no time at all. However, I only went as I had a visa run planned with Express Visa. They said I would sit with the driver on a nonsmoking van. When i got there, they said the van was smoking but I could roll the window down. I told them No and left. I went to the office a few hours later and got my extension. It was 15 days for sure.

Dear L and N, I do appreciate your secret. I will keep the Cherry to myself. My days of busting them are long past and I am now on to bigger and better things. I won't tell a soul.

I went to get a 15 day extension at Pattaya. Normally, I had to come back in the afternoon. When I went this time, I paid the money, the passport was stamped with the new date and it was returned to me with a thank you. Total wait time, less than 7 minutes. Amazing!

K-2 was a Karaoke Place. It was newely decorated and very well done. It was comfortable inside and had some very sexy boys. I had drinks with 2 boys and the mamasan. The mamasan is 30 years old, college educated and speaks perfect english. He is also leaving for a month to go to Paris and London and Madrid. It sounded to me like he had a boyfriend for a long time. However, the place was very friendly and inviting and I enjoyed my time there very much. The entire street was fun and a nice change of pace. The boys were low key and non agressive.

Thanks for the great report LMTU. Your story was great and very informative! Thanks for being todays scoop reporter!

Is now OPEN! They have their Wednesday night ALL you can eat Buffet. They are near 3rd road behind Sunee Plaza. They are back!

I went to River City at the suggestion of my hotel. The entire 3rd and 4th floors are full of antiques from the 10th Century forward. I found some amazing statues that I collect and had a great afternoon. For anyone that likes buying or just looking at amazing artifacts, you must give this center a test. However, ALL prices are very negotiable. Most things I got down at least 30-50 percent off.

Thank you so much for letting me know about this. As a major musical queen (no comments needed Maurice or Jomptien) I am very excited!

The grand opening for HomeWorks was Sept 9th. The store is great. An added bonus is the new Office Depot, my home away from home. It is also a nice store and seems to have all the USA stores have except the computer section. The new shopping area is directly next to the right of Big C on Sumkenvit. Drop by and take a look.

Thanks. Do you think it will really be renewable for life or that may change?

I see the Visa regulations are changing as of Oct 1. I wonder if this will increase the numbers of those who purchase the Thai Elite Card? http://www.thailandelite.com/ Do you think this card will stand the test of time? What I mean by this is that if one purchases it, will the 5 year renewal keep renewing even after the current administration leaves? What do you see for the future of this program?

Thank you Jomptien. I an so glad you see me for the real me. I have never really understood why places in Thailand use tissue and cheap napkins when one eats. That seems to be everywhere. What gives? And, yes Niddy is cute.

Personally, I wish at least a few of the bars in the area would leave the show off and only have the boys on stage. I don't really care for the show and much perfer to see the boys on stage. If I do have to pay 270 for a drink because they have a "sex show" then give me the show. If not, keep the drinks the regular price. I miss the low key X-Treme show as it was only Cabaret and I loved it. However, I know I am in the minority as there are too many that only go to that area to see the show. I saw a much better show last night in Pattaya than I did in Bangkok. The drinks were only 110 bath. And, the farangs in the audience at that show really seemed to be getting jiggy with it.
