while I agree with you 100% , insensitive at best unless there was some performance included . I wonder what actually deaf person would say though. Could enjoy just being there with friends as social setting, the same like going to church while not religious

this is what we want to hear, good to know you had fun.

unbuttoning would be more pleasant exercise

it always is a challenge but thank you for an effort and waiting for part 3

I saw that warning multiple times that car used to pay for flight may be asked to be shown but never was asked one to produce one. Still make sure to have that one on me. When travelling I have habit of leaving one card at home, just in case.

Thailand sees rise in criminal activities by foreigners
vinapu replied to reader's topic in Gay Phuket
sun must be too strong there in Phuket and it looks that it's only matter of time some serious tragedy involving foreigners will happen. Perhaps some well installed gallows with dangling plastic body will cool the tempers ? -
exercise well rehearsed in 1940 when Baltic states joyfully and forever joined USSR. Crimea is ancestral land but not of Russians who driven out or annihilated it's previous occupants Tatars after Catherine conquered it at end of XVIII century. No doubt if institution of referendum was invented already they would join Russia gladly and in haste. There's no doubt that Kadyrow would be able to orchestrate referendum on Chechnya's independence in less than a week and made sure 97.8 % would vote for separation with 98.16 % of attendance. Then me and whole world would wonder if Russia , so attached to popular will in Crimea it seems , allowed her to go.

still big improvement compared to my first visit back in 2001. Then National Highway 6 toward Poipet was not much better if at all than road shown above and look at it now !

Thank you for the clip, Listening it I thought to myself , it doesn't start well if president of country who recently ordered his troops to attack his neighbor mourns loss of lives of innocent children. I don't support neither terrorism and genocide nor aggressive wars to satisfy dreams about past imperial glory. I'm just pointing that Russia identifies her enemies incorrectly and that is a reason is vulnerable to attacks like recent. War in Ukraine causes daily gigantically higher loss of Russian lives that that attack in Moscow and it would be good if Russian society started to count those . As for propaganda I got excellent , life lasting, vaccination being present in USSR in the last week of April 1986, far from both Chernobyl and truth.

Lucky country whose Prime Minister busies himself with such important and strategic matter. Wouldn't it be nicer if he did something about that road being paved ?

but only fraction of them would be available in the lobby at any given time so it will be much more manageable

I agree that Sol is one huge wasted opportunity and in my opinion self inflicted wound. I couldn't believe seeing young couple entering bar with perhaps only 7 other patrons, taking a seat and leaving few minutes later loudly complaining about the sound volume and nobody did anything to stop them , not to mention toning down sound after they left . If was like throwing 1000 baht to the wind. when half an hour later I entered packed Screwboys I knew that Sol is doomed unless they reinvent themselves and fast.

no denying that it's great invention, no ? he, he

which is both curse and blessing. On apps we have an access to much wider choice but until ,it knocks into our door we don't know what we will get, just like any other kind of internet shopping. Face to face meeting brings limited choice but we can see and feel fabric immediately with added bonus of rubbing elbows with other shoppers , which itself may be either good or bad thing.

I'm bit surprised by that statement. As I said above , based on my experience , minimum tip is what they expect unless they in no uncertain terms ask for more . adding 10-20% ie 100 or 200 baht is pretty generous. Boys are as much used to stingy as to money thrower farangs, I don't think they would consider one who tips stated minimum stingy though. At end of day is up to client to see how much is deserved. Service may be poor but feel good factor may be tip determining factor.

when minimum tip is listed , unless boy himself raised issue by asking for more for doing this or that, that minimum is what is expected , even in higher rend places like Jey Spa. Not that they throw back bahts at you if you tip them more. If you are happy, specially if you think you will see boy again feel free to tip more to show he did good job. Not that is expected but you may buy better goodwill. Often 2nd encounters are more dynamic than first ones as both parties are more familiar with each other. But be warned , if you tip more , next time you will be expected to tip the same , improved formula amount. Boys have surprisingly good memory, even 1 year later they may quote you what you gave them last time, happened to me in January and I resorted to excuse ' last time I was rich, now I'm poor". I simplified my life and use VST (Vinapu Standard Tip ) in massages : for 1 hr session 1000 or minimum tip, whatever is higher, for 1.5 hr session 1500 or minimum , again whatever is higher. I'm inclined to throw money around , if only to soothe boys stress after encountering stingy farangs but very rarely on 1st session.

I hope it's as much truth as in today's announcement of increasing Airport Line capacity to 800 a day ! Yes , I agree closing such venerable institution would amount to sacrilege. But even if truth , which I don't believe I think it will be resurrected somewhere ( old New Twlight/ Queens Club location nearby is still empty )
