bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 October 2016 Arial photo above Qatar on the way to Thailand. In Bangkok. I visited a friend that lives at the MET near downtown Bangkok I've been to Thailand so many times that I don't take many pics and this trip I tried to change that but I still didn't take many pics in Bangkok.

bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Onward to Phuket. I met up with a guy from Planet romeo and he drove me around Phuket to all the different beaches. I had no idea just how beautiful some of the beaches were. One beach we drove to had a very nice stainless steel gym near the road. I wonder how hot that metal gets in the hot sun? worldatlarge, Vessey, vinapu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Below is a large buddah they are building at the top of a mountain on the island of Phuket. The figure is so large that it is often hiddend by either fog or clouds. On the plane from Phuket to Chiang Mai. This is a pic of the snack they provided.

bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 In Chiangmai, I met a different friend from Planet Romeo who drove me to see the salt-water springs. It was worth the drive. 1moRussian, vinapu and TotallyOz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2016 Selfie!!! I stayed at PJ's place. The place is just as nice as it was when I first stayed there years ago. I find it useful to take a picture of my hotel card to show to the taxi should I lose or forget it in my room. This is just a walking around picture and a cooking school I may try next trip. TotallyOz, ct2005, Vessey and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 It was the start of my night in Pattaya and I was looking for the fun to begin. I was sitting at Oscars bar when the word came of the Kings passing. Not long after that the bars went dark. Even walking street. Then everything went dark.....

bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 When I was walking to the beach I came to a stop when I thought I saw Neal's scooter. Then there was the food. I love the fish at BonChon so I included the pic! We don't have this on the menu in the USA so I had to snap a pic. TotallyOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinapu Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 very interesting photo-story, different from our usual boy-infused narratives. I don't take any offence for you considering me stupid but on last day in Thailand which is usually long one since I fly out past midnight food is probably last thing coming to my mind. bucknaway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIrishGuy Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Ha I too have stopped in my tracks before and had to take a good second look when I came up upon that very same "Neals Scooter" situation as it is parked in almost exactly the same position as where he always left his heavy duty machine. Thankfully I did see someone else driving off on it later on so no, definitely not his nor him returning to haunt and harass the lady owner of "his" beach concession ( or so he seemed to think merely as he'd sponsored the wifi there for a while). That is until the lady owner there well and truly handed him his ass in a sling one day over him being just a bit too bossy for her liking and quickly put him in his place and put him right on that score once and for all from what I remember - leading to him then throwing a tantrum, moving sections and calling her for everything for weeks thereafter I seem to recall - much to the delight of a few of her other regulars who later posted same I recall :-) Nice pics too - although ( through no fault of yours or your pics) they more sort of reminded me of just what I'm "not" missing there just now perhaps, which is kind of sad as of late to me same same ( which used to bring a smile to my face is now "actually" just more a case of absolutely same same now perhaps and not in a good way :-( But thanks for taking the time to post for us all anyway - including your very own selfie no less ! Wow, aren't we getting the brave boy who obviously doesn't give a shit who sees or knows you there or not, good for you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucknaway Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Very nice pics How much did you have to pay for the Uber between Bangkok and Pattaya ? It ran me 1,310 baht. When I tried to hire a taxi from the stand, the driver refused to use the meter and demanded 1500 baht. His taxi was old and I didn't mind telling him no and having him remove my bags from the trunk. I then fired up my uber app and saw the uber was cheaper and there were many cars at the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotallyOz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Great photo story. I love looking at pictures and it really does give the viewer a chance to see things from your eyes. And, it also tells a great story. I love PJ's Place. I have stayed there several times over the years and find the owners charming. How as the cooking school? bucknaway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
