vinapu

Yes, it's in liquid form and its called 'gin'

we need to remember that , like everywhere else , word 'locals' is big umbrella. More affluent Thais may never visit areas their less lucky compatriots live and shop for services and other way around. in my area I'd be lucky to get haircut for equivalent of 650, yet there are easily accessible places in the city , not even that hidden, where I get it done for less than 400. Or how Pattaya boy once explained to me ' girl who wants 2000 from farang will go with me for less than 1000 ( he quoted price but I forgot) after hours "

still alone, sigh

I'm not surprised considering your companions in soaking

I already did in my trip reports 2015 and 2016

I can. I know people for whom that car was dream come true. They had son known to the world as vinapu

I'd add that cold war politics contributed to another fuck-up w e in the West should be forever ashamed for. Even if Khmer Rouge atrocities become well known and proven, their government of so called Democratic Kampuchea kept UN seat for many years thanks to Western support.

I don't lose sweat over miles. On cheapest tickets and those are ones I usually buy, accumulation is bordering on irrelevancy , some fares are even not allowing for miles - case of my last trip to BKK.

we are waiting patiently

very good idea, it's how I celebrated two of my birthdays in Bangkok

that's sin that's outright sin again

that makes sense and it's easy to believe and imagine

Asiatique is by the river, couldn't they just gang up and drown him there I wonder

I was not asked but can explain as I did the same - 10 nights at 20 000 miles is 200 000 miles . By time one collects that much it may happen that oldest miles will start expiring and it will be like chasing one's tail. It may be better just to utilize what we have before it expires. Rich people will never understand logic of us , poor ones

it would sustain Pattaya Orphanage for a while , long while .

too bad that American people weren't

"On the beach there are these 2 Vietnamese guys meandering around looking to fix your phone’s broken glass. I asked if I could take his advertisement picture as this topic recently came up in another thread about getting an expensive iPhone glass screen replaced. This guy claims that he can do it to perfection. The price depends on his assessment of the work that would be required – so he could not quote me a set fixed price." this is what I like the most ( other than boys) in SE Asia - energy and industriousness. People are looking for business opportunities whenever they arise. As my smartphone glass is broken I'm tempted to keep it that way until I go to Da Nang just to give them my business as a token of appreciation

by that time he will be 3 month older and may lose some of his luster

I read somewhere that Indians find good value in organizing their lavish weddings there. It may be some truth in that as last year I spent only few days in Pattaya and saw two big and boisterous Indian wedding receptions in Beach Road hotels .

What ? I think about him with smile but certainly not because his fame of having ways quiet. Seeing him quiet I'd buy him aspirin or something

+1, knowing some guys from the story helps, lol

unfortunately both cases happen from time to time . At least we , by paying , have some leverage on the issue. sometimes also reverse happens , we wish boy goes but he is still hanging around glued to his phone, watching Tv or, horror of horrors , occupies toilet for an hour.

true, that's the official line but still it looks that my tolerance for bitter taste increased , I used to hate Chang because of that , now I need court order to drink Singha

as always, boys will know where short time rooms are

possibly but can be seen in the movie they play driving you to Chuong Ek Killing Fields if you take a tour, hardly piece of Khmer Rouge propaganda. Unpopularity of Lon Nol regime at that time can't be discounted and even Conan the Barbarian would be welcomed as bringing hope.
