Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Bars Family Bar | 270 Karangahape Rd | 9-309 0213 | http://familybar.co.nz/ Family can seem more like a bar when it's karaoke night or there's a drag show on; more like a blub when they have a guest DJ or there's a theme party. But it's worth it go at some point every night you're in town, because sooner or later, every gay in Auckland passes through its doors. Go after 10pm for the most action.

Lurker, I always use just uncooked Oats. To add a bit of variety, I'll put in some thinly sliced chopped almonds, etc. In Thailand, there is no way to get good protein bars. This tastes good for me and it is nutritious. If I were in America I would use Jay Robb Protein Powder. But, that is much more expensive. In Thailand I just an Australia company called Mikashi. If you play with the recipe, let me know what you add that you like. I'd be most appreciative. The boys here did up a batch last night for me and it tastes yummy!

So great to see the sexy Stef avatar on the site! Tui's is still around and still there. http://tuisplace.com/ I don't know about the Internet. I do know it use to suck but not sure how things have changed. However, I am in Bangkok and the 12Call wifi works well here. Not sure about Jomtien.

I do realize this. But, if you go to the coordinates listed above and then you start to try to find the address by the river. I did that. I could not find it on Google View. So I asked google for places Near and asked for Mambo Cabaret. Guess where it took me? In other words, I know it takes me to the wrong location.

The boyfriend and I tried Amici Pizza at Siam Paragon. Siam is often busy, hectic and crazy. But, Amici was like an Oasis in the jungle that is Siam Paragon. It is well decorated, quite and pleasant. The head waiter was amazing. Perfect English. Excellent recommendations for drinks and food. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We started off with a Watermelon Shake which we split until we tasted it and decided to get another frozen smoothie. The waiter suggested the Delizaiosa Marscapone Cheese Pizza which was parma ham, mozzarella cheese and tomatoes. It was divine. It was without a doubt one of the best tasting pizza's I have tasted. The pizza was a bit too thin for me but it was crisp and tasted like you were being treated by the gods of Olympus to one of their meals. It was 420 baht. In the end, we both gave it 5 stars. The BF also had the seafood pasta which was also amazing. The place is a bit pricey but totally worth it IMHO http://www.pomodorogroup.co.th/ourRestaurant_acimi.html

I have not been to this place so I don't know where it is at. However, I did look on Google for it and could not find it near the river. Everytime I ask google to find it, it takes me to the area near Sumkumvit.

I saw this show when it was at the old location. I thought it was great and enjoyed it. I also took my two aunts (over 70) to the show and they really enjoyed it as well.
