The German owner of Euro Dental Clinic has done excellent if not cheap work on my gnashers, and I thoroughly recommend him. As a successful Munich-based implant specialist wanting to live partly in Thailand, he spent almost 5 years learning Thai from scratch to university level, passed his Thai dental examination (they failed him twice on principle, though he had 20 years of experience, then capitulated because he wouldn't be discouraged) and is to his knowledge the only farang in the whole of Thailand to have a licence to practice dentistry in his own right. Bloody nice bloke, and I really

Time will take its course, the girl will grow to pubescence and adulthood, that will be the end of this particular show unless the chap is grooming and training a successor. I concur with the posters who find this rank, late-night exploitation of a young girl obnoxious, especially if this actually is her father. None of us are going to change this if we are mere visitors or indeed residents in Thailand. It's in many ways a savage society to girls and young women. They end up doing most of the work that actually keeps people fed and clothed, while many in the male population look down on them

The ventriloquist on stage has a young bloke as a puppet on his lap, and is cracking offensive jokes about blondes. Eventually a blonde lady in the audience stands up and starts shouting at him for being so insulting. The ventriloquist breaks off his act and starts apologising to the lady, who interrupts him: I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to that foulmouthed little fucker on your lap!

Thanks for the pics, blimey, I can see my house.

Never has a bike stolen, but I've had one vandalised (headlight smashed) on the road between Big C Sukhumvit and Tai, and an expensive helmet lifted when parked outside Foodland on Klang.

I notice there are now no bench-seats around the trees for the Coconut Bar girls to sit on - very inconsiderate towards these ladies, it's almost as if they weren't wanted.

Pygmies in the Long Grass by Werther Fuckawi Keep 'em coming chaps ..

Here are some funny book titles I have remembered over the years. Anybody know any more? Puddle in the Bed by I. P. Nightly Tiger's Revenge by Claude Bottom The Cliff by Eileen Dover The Russian Stripper by Eva Vestoff The Russian Ice Skater by Wotcha Topolova Three Days in the Saddle by Major Bumsaw Stand and Deliver by Ann Dover

Hats off Evil, I think you nailed it right away. When has a thread run its course?

I've tried pizza all over the place in Pattaya, and never managed to find anywhere that serves up or delivers a really tasty, generously topped one with the slightly crispy base I like. The nearest to it IMO is Valentinos next to Foodland on Pattaya Klang. The worst are awful, stodgy, undercooked dough and e.g. a salami pizza with just four small slices of salami, one in each quadrant.

If you're coming to Pattaya you'll likely be participating in the bar/agogo scene. There are plenty of girls who've been around long enough to have pretty fluent English, are fun to be with and will give you a good time. Just head down Soi 6 for an intro. and talk to a few.

Sympathies, but that's disgusting and I'm about to add to it: There was a young lady from Wales Whose diet was snot, shit and snails When she couldn't get these She dined on green cheese Which she scraped from mens' knobs with her nails Sorry for threadfuck, at least I mention shit.

Whichever way you slice it, economy passengers are nowadays nothing more than self-loading cargo and the others pay handsomely for being made to feel 'special'. Gnash, grunt. Somehow it's nice that in the remoter parts of Issan, people still rush out of their houses and point into the sky when an aircraft is seen passing overhead.

I predict that apart from the good guys who want this soi to remain the glory it is, there will be a host of balloon chasers, Indians etc. descending on the party to get a free feed at minimal cost. I've been up and down the soi this evening advising bar people only to hand out food if a substantial drink is bought - they're not used to the balloon-chaser phenomenon, so let's see if I'm right - I sincerely hope not.

Nice one. Reminds me of the chap looking to rent a house. He was shown around the place by the rather nice looking maid. He asked her whether she was to let with the house. "No, I am to be let alone!"

Good stuff Mick, bound to be very useful for someone planning to go through the same hoops for his lady. You and Lin getting married - that's great mate, all the best to you, hope you're honeymooning in Patts?

The patient has completed his course of treatment with the psychiatrist, and they are settling up the bill. Patient: I'm so happy with what you've done for me that I want to give you a little extra in addition to your fee. Shrink: I don't know about that, in fact I don't think we should be lying on this couch together.

An Irishman accused of house burglary is found guilty in court. Magistrate: Have you anything to say before I sentence you? Accused: As God is my judge, Oi'm not guilty of this crime. Magistrate: He's not. I am. You are. Six months.

Another 'unusual pet' joke: A chap in a pet-shop is shown a parrot in a cage with a red and a blue cord hanging down from its left and right leg. The shop owner explains that if you pull the red cord, the bird will swear in French, pull the blue cord it will swear in Spanish. Customer: What happens if I pull both cords at once? Parrot: I'll fall off the fucking perch, you silly cunt.

Thanks Martin, yes, it's being a bit erratic today.

Excellent list that shows the overwhelming advantages of living here. Two more occur to me: If you're a smoker, cigarettes are far cheaper than in the UK or rest of Europe (pack of 20 1.80 pounds rather than 6 pounds - indeed it's even worth taking up smoking, think of the money you save). You can (almost) own a large house here as I do, and pay nothing in poll tax/community charge/land tax. That would be a cost of several thousands per year in the UK.

I think this is a great idea and will help to put the soi back on the map after declining monger-numbers. Nothing like working together to make an impact (sonic boom-boom), it's bound to be a great event (BiB willing) and I'll be sneaking down there as so often.

Yep #59, pant-creamingly perfect for my taste, but get rid of the braces.

Yet more slanted news coverage.

I can teach you to hurt attackers, very badly if necessary, but you won't get hurt yourself during training. I teach you to dish out, not take. Make the other bugger defend himself, if he can.
