Amazon has the Note I want for 586.00 USD or 18,600 baht. Pattaya places were asking around 17,000 baht. Bangkok, 15,000 baht and as low as 13,500.

I have wanted to snag a Samsung Note before I head back to USA. I looked when I was in Bangkok and thought the price was good but wanted to see if Pattaya was cheaper. It is not. It is actually about 2k baht more at the lowest price I could find at Tuk Com. This happens often and I do know that every time I buy something in Pattaya, I find it in Bangkok for less money. Do you find all products are similar or is this related mostly to tech items?

Very cool Thanks.

It is going to be an interesting day tomorrow when they rule on this decision. I do not think it will go the way I want and IMHO we need to throw away Life Time Appointments for all Federal Court Justices. How do you think this vote will go?

If you have been to Pattaya, a group has purchased the Day Night 1 and 2 hotels and they are renovating them. The Day Night 1 hotel is completely under construction. I have heard it may become a haven for Russian tourists or Chinese Tourists. After the first hotel is finished, they will start to work on the 2nd one and renovate it completely. With the Mosaik and the Flamingo (recently renovated) this leaves some great places that are fresh in the Day Night area which is a very convenient area for all to stay.

I love Bangkok Pattaya Hospital and I love their Dental Clinic. The boys and I went today and we all had a full cleaning and Xrays and the cost for all three was around 4k baht. Not only is the cost cheap (compared to USA) but the place is clean, efficient and easy to use. One of my boys has to have 2 Wisdom Teeth removed and the cost will be around 6-10k baht. I know that may be high compared to what you can get in local dental clinics but I love the fact you are in a hospital and if something goes wrong, you can have access to doctors and facilities that are great.

I have used it for 5 years or so when I came to BKK one time and could access sites in USA. I bought this and have gone through at least 4 major revisions. It is a paid program to access THEIR servers which are fast and easy to use. I love it.

That is a great deal. And, I appreciate the discount postings. I read every one and if I can, I try them.

If you have a Mac, let me suggest NetShade. It is great.

G, keep working hard. It will pay off! As for Stop signs, I have never had a thing for them. I do like Elephant Crossing signs though.

I have talked to several business owners who have said very clearly that they have more Arab customers than they do Americans. This may or may not bother others. For me, I don't care as long as the places in Pattaya are getting business. Each person said that this is not a low season thing but a trend over the last year or so. I know that part of this has to do with the horrible economy that the USA currently has and part may be the high cost and long distance of the airfare. I have had several really nice conversations with people from the Middle East and they have told me the prices they are paying for their airline tickets and it was more expensive than I paid. But, they also say this area is great as it is a quick flight for them. For most from the USA, getting to Thailand is at least 20 hours or more. I am sure others have seen the shift in tourists. I am curious if this trend shows the slower traffic of those from Europe?

A giant tortoise known as a symbol for the disappearing species and of the Galapagos Islands died on Sunday.

FH, IMHO and IMHO only, I think the low season is low for those of us like like gay bars and the like. However, the nice hotels I stay at are BOOKED with family tourists. I have been amazed every hotel I have been at in LOS (3 so far) and all were full of tourists that are more family orientated. Even in Pattaya, the hotels are full and have tons of guest but they are families with many kids. I was swimming with some from Middle East and I asked them how long they were in Pattaya and he said 10 days. I asked him why as he had 7 kids with them. He said he likes the beach and the kids love the pools and so many things to do around Pattaya. I asked if the bars bothered them and he said not at all that the kids don't go outside the hotel grounds late night. He did say last year they spent 3 weeks in Phuket and the year before in Chiang Mai. He said Thailand is a bargain and his family loves it and Pattaya has been fantastic for them. I just wonder if this is going to continue to be the trendy place to bring more and more families and the gay bars slowly dwindle down?

Personally, I am loving this show. Great return. Great stories. LOVE LOVE LOVE JR back in action again. Evil as ever. And, his son is a hottie and nice to look at.

I had a very nice night in Boyztown in Pattaya, Thailand last night. After a nice dinner, we went to Funny Boys. As usual, Mama Rose was friendly and the place was great to sit and chat and watch some cute boys. Rose is known for running the best gogo bar in Pattaya and there really is no competition for comfort and cleanliness. If you like a boy that is slightly more effeminate, this place has to be heaven. They don't have a lot of ladyboys but they are filled with gay boys galore. It was really enjoyable to site and watch. We tried to go in Wild West afterwards but there was a group of at least 20 customers in there and all were smoking. I could smell the smoke outside when I was walking up the steps and when I walked inside, wow, the smoke was thicker than anything I have seen in ages. It was just not for me so we left. I had smoke but will deal with it if just a few people. This bar seen to be hosting the Marlboro Foundation. Happy Bar was next. Neal has a great deal of cute boys and runs a very nice place. I saw two guys I have known for a few years and loved talking to them and chatting with them. I took one off with me and had a nice time. Drinks were 150 baht and off fee was 400 baht for doorman and 300 for dancers. All in all, I had a nice time in Boyztown. I did see Panorama was full and had a great business going on. Having been to Sunee a few night and now to Boyztown, I can see that low season is really low and many of the boys talked about not having a customer in a while in both places.

It has been a long time since I ate at Le Cafe Royale in Boyztown. I did last night and I really enjoyed my dinner. I had the chicken Maryland and it really was very tasty and very filling. I use to go to cafe quite a bit but stopped going for some reason. A friend asked me to meet him there last night and I'm glad I did. The food was good. The service was quick and friendly and the prices were really reasonable. I really enjoyed my time there. For those of you that enjoy Boyztown in Pattaya, Le Cafe Royale has a great menu that tastes good at reasonable prices. Stop by and give them a try on your next trip.

I have always enjoyed his posts. Happy Birthday!

I am totally insulted that you use my personal desires to have sweet peas shoved up my ass in a post. Just an FYI, I do not cook the peas first so they are a bit harder. As the President of the Sweet Pea Rainbow Coalition, I would appreciate everyone keeping their peas in a pod and not on the forum!

No, I don't think so. Sometimes it is purely business. Who would go watch a famous lead actor in an action role, if they knew for a fact he was gay? Most gay men who are actors and who come out state that the roles they get were hurt by coming out. Same thing if we found out a famous Rapper was gay. Would he loose part of his black audience? Lastly, what if we heard a potential VP nominee was lesbian. Would that affect her likeability if she were in the conservative Republican party or would they just say, "hell, the going to hell Mormon picked her anyway and we have no fucking choice in order to get the black guy out."

That is it. Thanks. I didn't know on YouTube. A manager at the hotel I was at in India suggested this to me. It really is a great in-depth look into Ladyboys.

Do you like getting waxed? I have friends that do it often and they are very metrosexual. I am not sure I could stand the pain. I like being smooth. I just hate the feeling of the wax being ripped off.

It is a fascinating documentary that is in 6 parts. I have 3 parts of this and will see all 6. It is very well done! Anyone else seeing this? Watching this?
