The first few minutes were taken when we were in the seats and caught off guard and didn't have time to stand up. Sorry, but I love the song so I included it. This was a charity event with tons of shows and songs in order to raise money for AIDS charities in Pattaya.

Yaya, and you don't turn around and double that amount to keep him at his home?

Not sure what you mean here. We didn't have an appetizer but we did have the Apple Pie. Yummy!

I have not eaten at the hotel in a very long time. Normally, when I go to the area I eat at Le Cafe Royale. I am not sure why. But, today I booked a table for the street fair with the Ambiance as they had a nice table with a fan over it to keep cool and I ordered their food. I will be honest, I was not expecting it to be great but to my surprise, it was fantastic. I will have to say that I ordered the grilled chicken with mushroom sauce and onion rings. The entire meal was absolutely fabulous. One of the boys ordered some chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger. He enjoyed it. The other one ordered kabobs and they were were very good. I didn't taste the boys food but they were both happy and that is hard to find. LOL The one thing they did not like was the french fries. They said they were too soft. But, with so many people ordering tonight and it was so busy, I'll forgive that. My chicken was fantastic. It tasted great. It look beautiful and well presented. The waiters were quick and efficient and friendly. Management was very professional (and handsome). All in all, I have to say that this was the best meal I have ever had in any restaurant in Boyztown and one of the best I have had in Pattaya! I wish these fine men who are running this place great luck as they really seem to have turned the place around!

The Boyztown Street Party was a great deal of fun. There were some great shows and the hostess Ms. Jim was funny and colorful. They had a wide variety of show performers from ladyboys to drag stars to trannies to sexy show boys. The atmosphere was lively and fun.My favorite was the Thai ladyboy with big tits who performs on Chanel 3. She sang live and was fabulous! I really would pay to see just her in a show.The event entrance fee was 100 baht and went to charity. There was a lucky draw which raised 150,000 baht for the Pattaya Pride group. Over 570 tickets were sold. Donations were also collected. All in all, I guess they raised over 220,000 baht but I didn't hear the final number announced. There was a drawing for several prices and many generous donors from local businesses. The boys and I went and had a fabulous time. Here are a few photos for those of you that missed the show!

My last group of photos or videos for this event in Pattaya. I hope you enjoyed the photos and videos!

I love college football. I also love the Alabama Crimson Tide. I want so badly to watch this game live for the National Championship. I don't think my TV with True will have it. If not, if anyone hears of where I can go in Pattaya or Bangkok for a party to watch this event, PLEASE let me know!

One of the boyfriends went home to his family near Korat and celebrated Loy Krathong. He really enjoys taking photos and he gave me permission to share these with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. (yes, the photo of him and the lady with the lantern is his girlfriend/wife for many years)

This was last night!

For Pattaya Fireworks 2012, there are four countries participating in, China, Singapore, Canada and The United States.The first night they each shot off 10 min or so worth of fireworks. The 2nd night they all shot off for 45 minutes. I do not yet know who won but I'll try to find out. Last year China won. It is a fun event as they close off beach road completely for those 2 days. It makes traffic a mess but there are tons of vendors, food, etc. on the street. It is a very festive atmosphere. Also, usually over 100,000 people come here to see this. That means Pattaya is esp. packed!

I hope all those able to go are taking advantage of these great shows!

Great night for a party in Boyztown!

I know for sure 4 of the 20. That is not good odds. So, I'll keep working. Naturally, 2 of the 4 are places I love.

Saturday Dec. 1, 2012 Video I hope you enjoy! It was fabulous to see and lasted for over an hour. This video is 9 min.

Simply stunning! You keep adding to my bucket list FH. Thank you for such amazing world insight and the fabulous photos!

Thank you for that link. I had never heard of this. I do admit, when I saw the term MegaDo, I was thinking it was a mega dodo (shit) on the plane or a major fuckup. LOL Great article!

I have said for many years that my next long term place to call home is going to be either Brazil or somewhere in Europe. I love Thailand but I do feel that I will make a change in 2013. I hope that some of you here will help me. I have wanted to move to Brazil for a long time. The biggest difference between Brazil and Thailand is the ease at which a foreigner can move and live comfortably. There are literally tons of serviced apartments in every Thai city. I can easily find a furnished apartment in Thailand for a cheap price and it is very nice and comfortable. Check out www.condo6.com for a few choices in Pattaya, Thailand. Check out Marriott Executive Apartments or Ascott Condo in Bangkok. In both of the above, you can easily find a decent high end place for 1200-1500 USD per month. And, they are fully furnished. I have yet to find similar places in Brazil that would be so easy to move into. There is a place in Porto Alegre that I found: http://www.shortstaybrazil.com/ And, in Brazil in general: http://www.vrbo.com/ But, most of these are looking for short stays of a week or a month as opposed to one year or longer and some don't give decent rates for even a long term stay. I would prefer to live in Rio or Sao Paulo in Brazil but I have found that the apartments there require a one year upfront payment which I just won't do unless you have a Brazil guarantor. I guess my real preference is Sao Paulo as I find it easy to get around there and I know it a bit better than I do Rio but either place would be find. I did look at Porto Alegre and I know I would love the boys but I think I would be very isolated and not be able to make "English speaking" friends. Another reason I love Thailand is the abundance of foreigners that live here it is so easy to find "friends" to hang out with from time to time that are not working boys. And, as I only speak English, that makes it harder to communicate with the locals. Lastly, a visa is not a problem for me in Brazil. I have the ability to stay in the country for an unlimited time frame and do not have to worry about exiting the country every few months. This site lists the countries price index. While Paris is my first city of choice, it is way to expensive for me as I am trying to save money as opposed to living in NYC. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Brazil I am also open to other place but I must have a local array of working boys that are easy for me to meet, greet and fall in love with. So, there you have it. That is my story. Help and advice and chastisement is greatly appreciated!

It is the 1812 Overture. That was me playing it. I was using a special device I created. Glad you two enjoyed this!

Congratulations to Fountainhall! He had the image with the most likes at the end of the month! Thank you to all who participated!

This was made from my apartment tonight. I hope you like it!

PHUKET: The World Justice Project (WJP) ranked Thailand 80th among 97 countries in delivering effective civil justice in its international Rule of Law Index 2012 report issued on Wednesday. However, despite the low ranking in dispensing civil justice, the report also recognized Thailand’s strong performance in the control of crime and in serving criminal justice. According to the report, “Thailand earns high marks on absence of crime and effectiveness of the criminal justice system (ranking 35th globally and seventh among its income peers). However, civil conflict and political violence are significant problems… “The country’s lowest scores are in the dimension of civil justice (ranking 80th), partly because of delays in processing cases and difficulties in enforcing court decisions.” The report noted that Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore lead the East Asia & Pacific region in most dimensions of the rule of law. http://www.phuketgazette.net/thailandnews/2012/Thailand-News-World-Justice-report-ranks-Kingdom-80th-in-serving-civil-justice-19602.html http://worldjusticeproject.org/rule-of-law-index/

It may just be the start of an incredibly busy weekend but the traffic today, even in daytime, was horrific. Driving a motorbike, it took me over an hour to get down one area. Be careful!
