Why? You don't like them squeezing your teats to the last drop? I thought you'd be thrilled.

บาวาน่า? Again quite a common place name in Thailand. Possibly after an angel's or woman's name, derived from Sanskrit.

It's ตะวันนา (ตะ-วัน-นา) in Thai so Tawanna is correct. โรงแรมตะวันนาสุรวงศ์ Tawanna Hotel Surawong. ตะวันนา (dtawanna) is derived from ตะวัน (dtawan) which means the sun and its usage is often literary or used as a proper noun. It is a very common person, place or brand name in Thailand signifying the glory of the sun. The common word for sun is ดวงอาทิตย์ (duang aathid). Sometimes Thai words aren't transliterated exactly because an exact match with the Thai isn't possible or because it may not be convenient for foreigners to pronounce. Tawana is easier to pronounce than Tawan-na, which sounds more Chinese to me. The reverse, ie transliteration from another language to Thai, is also true. In addition, slight adjustments are made if the exact Thai transliteration would sound inauspicious or vulgar.

That's great! Hopefully by then the dust from the immigration sandstorm would have settled too.

I guess there were too many "no" RSVPs.🤭

I hope he doesn't do an Air Asia on his guests; provide the room for free but make you pay for everything else. Pay for the towels, pay for the use of the bathroom, pay for the condoms, pay for the view or is that pay per view...🤷😅

One's sleepy and the other grinds. Think.

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊

They needed someone to host and splurge for the suite. 😏

Sweet. 🥰 Is he leaving because of the new visa rules? The latest I've heard is that there's no "reset" or fresh start of one's travel history to Thailand on January 1; the immigration officer will look at one's recent travel history and it's entirely at their discretion whether the visa exemption grace has been abused. We're going to have general elections in February and the rules may change yet again. 🤷 l hope everything works out for your guy.

Sorry, they wanted people who were discreet and kept a low profile; you and floridarob are overexposed. 😏

555. This has to be from a BOT. 😏 Olddaddy would have been far more creative than this. 😆

And clearly you've been around. 😏

Clearly you haven't been around. Plenty of pussies being eaten in Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza.

She's not a young pussy, is she? Looks like she'd be comfortable ensconced in St Mary Mead, as would some of our forum members. I'd like you all to meet my new baby, Kopi. Picked her up in the middle of the road on Wednesday night. Two seconds later she would have been run over for sure (I happened to notice her because I was on foot). Vet says she's about two months old and has got a bad case of the flu. Eyes and nose were covered in discharge and she couldn't see and had lost her sense of smell. She's been at the vet three days now and my kind, handsome and very rugged East Malaysian vet called me this morning to tell me that he's had to feed her by hand as she couldn't see and smell the food. That she's eating is a good sign. Sadly, he's not very confident that she'll regain her eyesight. I'm sad for her but this means I'll just have to love her - and my vet - even more. Right now all I can do is pray and provide her with the best care possible. I had a lovely cat with degenerative ocular disease when I found her who went completely blind but lived to fifteen years old. She lived a long, good life and got along well with the others.

At least he's not pussy footing.

Alright...where's floridarob and what have you done to him?

And that's the scary part.

Me too. It's for our own protection. Too many nefarious, scammer type about these days. Some guys from neighbouring countries may be using fake legit IDs. I'll explain what that's about later as I need to step out for a while.

I thought so too. One could sense that he not only enjoyed the trip but appreciated it.

The Oriental can be overly snooty. I thought you looked very smart. Perhaps the whip scared them?

A lovely hotel popular with polite and proper Thai guests. I heard this about the Montien but never had any issues there as I was either alone or with my partner. Not to be confused with the Montien Riverside which is a Bonvoy hotel.

I've got the Blackadder box set! 'Alo 'Alo, Keeping Up Appearances...several of the forum's characters remind me of Hyacinth Bucket. Dame Patricia Routledge died recently as you know. RIP.

No, he requests for a complimentary one from a flight attendant as passengers in row 50 are wont to do. 😏
