Train on new bridge over Mekkong , taken earlier today, lucky occurence as I was on the boat to Pak Ou caves ( 1000 Buddhas )

No need to, at end of day that, s decision of bar owners. We have something to say- go in or not. In ideal world we would chave choice, in real world we can make best of what us available. Yes, screaming Asian girls are annoying there and so is loud music, excessive air conditioning, pestering Mamasans etc there and in all other bars. But attractive boys are still there, even if fully dressed. Waving flag " I don, t go to go go bars anymore" is probably preaching to already converted crowd"

It still should be, don, t lose any hope until you go and check for yourself

Almost all are, just walk in with your boy as you owe the place and you will be fine.

Thus is route I pursued too but it,s not changing a fact that getting a ticket in computer era is nonsensically difficult. They have office in the city but you can,t go and buy it unless you have UnionPay. And this 2 days only advance purchase ? With computers everywhere ? Agent will organize tickets but for a fee. For us it,s modest , in my case 68000 kip , roughly 4 usd . But I could easily save it just by walking in if I could. Only hope is it will improve in the future. If that is how future hight speeds will very operating in Thailand, God gave mercy on her and us.

Great to know you speak German but this is English language forum

Madrid Tavern will not return to Patpong acorrding to the owner I talked to few days ago so legend is closed permanently and for good unless somebody else will take name and premises over. Restaurant relocated to new location in CHAROEN Krung soi 49 and is now named Madrid Cafe. Happy to report food, included famous pizzas remain as tasty as ever. Prices more it less also the same. New location has two levels and toilet has the shower so bring your towel, lol. It, s in the house formerly occupied by the owner. Soi 49 is roughly across the street from Assumption Roman Catholic cathedral compound on the stretch of CHAROEN Krung between Silom and Suriwong. Long but doable walk from Silom ghetto or take a BTS to Saphan Taksin and it, s perhaps 7 minute's walk from there. Once you find soi 49 just walk in, at the end there's sharp turn left and Madrid is in 3rd building facing elevated highway. Sounds complex but in reality is very easy to find, just go there Bon apetit !

It was nice to see you at Hot Male again, if only for a brief moment, duties, you know.

Train is there but getting tickets is a bit of chore as nonsense abounds There, s ticket office in Luang Prabang on main drag about 500 m past night Market across the street from Vietnamese consulate but thay take payments by Union Pay and some other Chinese pay system, no credit cards, no cash accepted. Original of passport requred to purchase. Ticket for cash can be bought at the station but only ( in computer era!!!) with 2 days advance I. E. or Thursday no earlier than Tuesday. Station is several kilometers from the city. Travel agents will facilitate that for a fee of course but they need to line up there the same like masses. So whole thing looks like another exercise in population movement restrictions, great communist invention. But still benefit of getting to Van vieng or Vientiane in relatively speaking no time in comparison with buses is great ang judging by number of affluent Laotians crowding temples and restaurants in Luang Prabang they are taking an advantage of it.

65 and they check I'd for that purpose

Logical, quality commands premium

Not yet but certainly feeling like that old. Yes I still work out of greed more than necessity but job is flexible

Yes, no massage at Copa as of last Thursday. You still have Scandic at the mouth of soi and ParadiseSpa arround the corner in the same soi ABomb is located

I,d add 250 baht Mahanakhon admission price for seniors

My 24 trips covered all month with exception of Jan to Apr period and July and honestly I can,t say I have any preference of timing and that I see much difference between high and low seasons. My decision when to go are based on money available , cheap flight and work requirements and have noting to do with those "seasons" For me high season is when I,m there and Low is when I m longing to be there.

If only it was that simple as Peter elaborated above.

Just very recently, read yesterday I offered help to a known guy in severe financial need by promised to hire for 4 days at above market rate. My reward - his entire time with me was spent on his phone playing loud music out of it , even in bed and even at 4 a.m. So deal was cut short , surprise, by him citing my unreasonable demands like stop checking Facebook every 27 seconds. In country I was raided there,s saying "if you help yourself, God helps you too " , how true !

No, that is not a guy I took home

Laziness of typing on my tablet to use ' I need to change screen

Remember that somebody,s garbage nay be somebody else,s treasure

Thank you, your assessment is correct. I moan too but rarely here, as I said no need to dump our problems on others, sometimes though it makes sense to complain and wail but only if it brings lesson to us and others.

I do but then probably would, t post as I, m not fan of dumping my problems on others, lol

Sorry about the pieces but I'm using tablet which I hate. Despite of late arrival I was in talks with floridarob about meeting tonight, we never met before. He told me that he is waiting at Hotmale beer bar so after showering but unfortunately wearing the same shirt of day long flight I rushed there. Staff recognized me on approach and greeted with open arms and news " your friend is waiting for you". I noticed immediately elderly gentleman sitting by the bar so joined him with something like "finally after all those years, face behind the name", he looked bit confused with my cogeniality, said something polite and finally some of the staff pointed that other guy, mu h younger and better built is, one I, m supposed to greet. It was floridarob indeed. So we exchanged latest news about Thailand, scene, as well as Mexico in view of my recent trip to Puerto Vallarta Vallarta and past 1 am as streets, were emptying rapidly we parted ways and instead of going back to Raya I decided to do a late night walk through the area, always good idea after bars are closing as one can catch some companions going home empty handed. So Silom and Patpong it was then turning left on Suriwong towards Tawan with hope that some boys, will be still having a during on the corner of soi Tawan and that street which is their habit for years. And on approach I saw three shades indeed. Coming closer I see one unfamiliar face, one familiar of Dam and third one even more familiar of guy who left them perpaps 4- 5 years ago whom I offed in the past several times. One of those you can,t forget due to their muscular, steely sculpted bodies. We recognized each other in instant. Hug was spontaneous and very strong. I remembered his name, he forgot mine but remembered hotel we met last time in soi 3. No price for guessing who was my companion I took home. What a surprise, one of those, you reasonably think you will never see again was there, smile. muscle and all. As a bonus we were in the room in minute as he lifted us on his motorbike. Who cared about lost luggage in such circumstances.
