My guess would be sometime during the low season, between May and October 2026, if he can wait that long! 😅

Hey, this could be another motto/catchphrase from you, after "Just go!" 😉

Is Hotmale still owned by the same group which owns Moonlight, the karaoke bar below it and a Thai restaurant nearby? It was when I spoke to one of the co-owners way back in 2019. He was a young-ish, pleasant looking guy with a nice demeanour and we would sit and chat on the Hotmale terrace till late; I remember a staff member from Moonlight would drop in with the night's cash takings after closing which amounted to hundreds of thousands then.

A lovely description. I don't know what the fuss over breakfasts is anyway. A kiwi or banana with greek yogurt and a cup of black coffee is enough for me! As my Aunty Vin would say, "Just go!"

He found a spinster? That'd make sense. Ka-ching! Or I can see the headlines now, "Vietnamese boy disappears, rumoured to have been eaten by a cat!" Wouldn't that be wonderful? Irony of ironies, A Twist in the Tail, as it were. Lord Archer couldn't have made it up!

Agreed on Starbucks. I think I've been in one three or four times my entire life and always because somebody else wanted to go there. I usually support the independents in Thailand. Good and inexpensive coffee, breads and cakes supplied by local bakeries and stay-at-home mums seeking some income and, because of their relative small size, these cafes are a great way to make new friends with both the Thai and foreign regulars. Never been to the restaurant in Foodland and can't comment but many forum members seem to like it.

Memories or mammaries? One can't be too sure when talking about the gay farang in Jomtien Complex. As one fades, the other grows. 😏

Hang on, I'll update the Boyz Boyz Boyz thread.

For forum members who don't read very well, that's Vinerian Professor, not venereal, which is something our esteemed members may be more familiar with. Rupert Cross of Cross on Evidence fame. 😉

Oh dear, I hope the haze hasn't made it worse for you. Get well soon!

No need. He can borrow whatever he needs from the ladyboy performers at M2M Bar.

You love to dance, you want to wear your Fijian flower shirt and drink wine, you love Pattaya and you want to be forever young. I've got an idea: substitute Neverland for Pattaya, jesus juice for wine, add on a pair of metallic gloves and shiny gold undies worn on the outside, and you could be the new Michael Jackson!

Camilla Cotton Oil Company v Granadex SA 😉 The appeal to the House of Lords was reported in 1976, half a century ago! You were already practising law then? Respect. 🫡 I brought up Broome because of the reference to Lord Hailsham in the original post in this thread. Broome was one of his more famous cases I believe and which we had to learn in first year. Thanks for that pithy and clear write up. It brought back memories of legal reasoning class, stare decisis, etc.🥰

💯👍

...or old and schizophrenic? 😒

@Keithambrose Good ol' Lord Hailsham of Broome v Cassell fame and his searing chastisement of the maverick Lord Denning for directing trial judges to disregard binding precedent. Remember that? 😅 Favourite quote from His Lordship: You ought not be ashamed of being bored. What you ought to be ashamed of is being boring. Some members of the forum could well take heed. 😏

Actually, I was last in Pattaya in 2020! I have no idea who number 69 is or if there is a number 69. 😅 Pattaya is my least favourite Thai city but you guys are tempting me to give it another shot with your updates. I also get live reports when I chat on cam with Thai friends and can see quite clearly what's happening on the beach, the city, the nightlife venues, etc, not to mention the social media overload. Plus we've got direct flights from KUL to UTP three times a week...

Uh-huh. 🙄

Neither. It's number 69 from X-boys. 😉

Dead vs alive...very subjective in Pattaya.

My friends have made their booking and paid RM8 extra (about 62 Baht) for breakfast for two. I think it's a good deal overall. Thanks to everyone who provided constructive feedback.

It's beautiful, with a blue theme which was Her Late Majesty's colour. Govt updates royal crematorium plans for the Queen Mother MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 2026 https://www.nationthailand.com/news/general/40061712

He didn't. The thread was bumped up last Friday when Olddaddy posted on it.

Of course. Your Bette Davis act brings the house down every time. 😏 PS That's Bette Davis as Baby Jane Hudson. 😉
