dontcha

It is because you don't play techno that i will visit your place. The girls dont like techno ... it's only the gay Ladyboy chasers/Ibiza thugs that listen to techno As Eminem sang in "without me" And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie You thirty-six year old baldheaded fag, blow me You don't know me, you're too old, let go It's over, nobody listens to techno Now let's go, Hip Hop and soul are cool ... if you play Amy Winehouse I'll drink there everynight of my trip. I say to you fuck the begrudgers .. my guess is that some barowners are getting worried because there is no barfine or ladydrink to be paid in your joint that they will loose dozens of potential customers everynight. Good luck in your venture.

Somebody should welcome you to the board. As a regular tourist you will only be able to get a 30 day visa so therefore unless you get a visa extension you will not be able to stay longer than 30 days. If you have never been before then nobody can predetermine if you will like it or not. If you can stick heat and humidity and non stop partying then I suggest you go for it. 6 weeks would not be too much for me but for some people it gets old after about 2 weeks Make sure you budget your stay and bring at least 2 ATM cards.

you'll get slapped by board members if you offer 2000 .... 1000 is perfectly ok at that time of night

I recommend any beach in Mauritius for you and your husband, the beaches in Thailand are dirty.

Why are flights to Bangkok much more expensive than other P4P destinations? People will look elsewhere because of the cost of flights.

This your best post ever, great song and a great video

super post, you lighten up my day

When I stayed there in 1995 they did not charge any joiner fees ..... they did not allow any joiners. The place was nice back then but it must be a bit worn by now due to its age

I a quite sure that there are older girls working on soi 8 ... I'm not sure if they ever get barfined though.

In my opinion there is no need to book either Mr T or Mr Toom. All you have to do is go outside and all the taxi touts are hungry for work, you will be quoted 1500 if you are a complete greenhorn and before you have time to refuse this will drop to 1200 inncluding tolls .... just walk away at these prices and they drop to 1000 including tolls .... I've got for 900 including tolls (300 cheaper than Mr Toom) and the car was quite acceptable and the driver was good. It is important to rember that time is money with these guys and they don't make money hanging around the airport; they loose money because the longer they are there the more the have to pay for airport parking and the quicker they get away there is a better chance of them getting another run in for the day. Paying 900 is not being a cheap charlie afterall there ascores of taxi ranks offering 800 +tolls to the airport in pattaya ....No matter what your ride is in Thailand don't be a LDOP and always negotiate

SAS wont let you input the date you request

Well said sir,your post proves that touristman was very wrong, America is full of good sensible people ... all you need to do now is take your country back.

Fuck me i see the dollar has gone below €1 =$1.59 this morning ...1.60 cant be far away . Panic is setting in

You are far too over the top in your hatred of all things American, These problems were not caused by ordinary Americans - they were caused by evil people who run America from Wall Street. It is true to say that the American people are in for some severe financial re-adjustment and yes many of their financial woes stem from their longterm foreign policy in Palestine but it is wrong to describe Americans as a self serving superficial populous. The reduction of interest rates to 1% and the printing of non-backed trillions of dollars after 9/11 by the greedy bankers in the Federal Reserve ignited the current sub-prime crisis but there is no doubt the invasion of Iraq is what has really destroyed America. The days of dollar hegemony are over so therefore American's living standards will no longer be subsidised by the rest of the world's need to purchase dollars to buy oil. There are people in America that are denying that they are in recession when infact they are heading into a depression ... the rest of the world will go into a recession because of this. Watch the Dow Jones index fall below 10000 in the next few months before it eventually bottoms out at around 6000. Most likely the ECB and the Japanese will intervene to stop the dollar loosing another 20% of it's value this year. The only way that America can get out of this mess is to elect a new President that is a polar opposite to the one that they have with regard to the economy and foreign policy. Americans will have to tighten their belts and get rid of the gas guzzlers. The Almero will never happen because there is no way the people of Canada are going to suffer to make the greedy bankers on Wall Street richer. I am just an ordinary guy looking on from the outside at the destruction of America which is a country that I love. I'm sure that some die hard Republican supporters will come on and say that I am completely wrong and that a weak dollar is great for American exports - the only thing is that America outsourced most of it's manufacturing base to China years ago and most of the employees in America's manufacturing plants are now very low paid Hispanic workers. I'll bet the republicans think that I am just an ungrateful pink democratic loving commmie liberal. Touristman you are very wrong to gloat about America's severe problems - most Americans are among the nicest people in the whole world.

This hotel is starting to rival the hell club for the publicity it recieves on this forum

I was speaking of cash transactions, the dollar is 31.83baht today and it is now $1.501 To €1 and falling

I think that you will not see above 32 baht to $US, above 48 baht to the € or above 63 baht to £ this year. My guess is that Sub 30 baht to the $, sub 45 to the € and sub 60 to £ are very likely in the next 6 months. The $AUD and the $NZD will probably get stronger versus the baht, good times ahead for the men down under The Euro is at an all time high against the dollar tonight €1 = $1.498

Almost every currency is heading in the wrong direction against the baht, Sterling is probably the most vunerable for the next few months. There is only one way to survive a holiday in Pattaya now and that is too cut out all LDOP activity, this includes stopping giving stupid tips and paying daft barfines(anything over 400 in a Go Go is daft or 250 in a bar). Stick to 500 ST and 1000 LT except for on the beach where you can get it for less than 500 ST. With exhorbitant flight prices and the way falangs currencies are in freefall against the baht the days of the daft LDOP are almost over.

I'm still looking, i think he is gone into hiding .... i got the fecker... about 2 minutes don't try this if you are slightly intoxicated

i might be ugly but i'm not fat ... are you related to otherway???

I'd ride 3 out of these 4, definetely worth 1000 ST each

Boycott any joint that has a cover charge otherwise this will become the norm

Top Mansion for around 300 baht, rooms are very clean, internet cafe downstairs and cheap car and motorbike rental.

very concise trip report
