Nosebag is UK slang for grub.

Palmers,Pattayaland. Place looks like it hasn't been properly cleaned for a decade but the nosebag is delicious.

Also on the committee are what is described as "several private organizations" without going into any details of who they might be. Weird.

I read somewhere recently that the government,responding to a glut of complaints from foreign diplomats,demanded that the problem be sorted and that this meeting is designed to straighten things out. Bangkok bigwigs are telling Pattaya what must be done. Bizarre that the scammers are on the committee too.....I can't imagine for example pickpocket gangs in London sitting round the table with police deciding what punishments should be agreed upon. And the sanctions for beating up customers and extorting money don't mention jail time,just confiscation of the ski (which then would probably pass to a relative,so no harm done!). A step in the right direction though?

Just read in this little gem that the Legless Arms on Soi Yamoto (or Soi Hooligan as I've seen it called) is or was owned by an English Thalidomide victim,and the bar opposite,the Nervous Wreck,is similarly owned by a fella who shakes like a leaf and has a Parkinson's Disease problem!

I read somewhere that these need bringing over from Farangland,but no doubt the locals will confirm or contradict.

Thanx MD. Here's a preview,from the Amazon site.... " Last night Pisshead Harold was very drunk. This is nothing untoward, because Pisshead Harold is almost always very drunk, at least during his waking hours. In Stringy’s bar in Soi Eight there is the biggest, fattest and ugliest lady-boy you have ever seen in your life. (In Thailand, lady-boys are known as katoeys for future reference.) Anyhow, this colossus of a katoey was waving her big fat arse all over the bar, which because she is so hideous was little less than a parody of sexual flirtation. Pisshead Harold ~ as usual inebriated enough to believe the mammoth posterior belonged to a female ~ lifted up her dress at the back, pulled her g-string to one side (with hindsight, an act that must have been extremely painful on the poor creature’s tucked-up-out-of-the-way sexual equipment) and gave her bum crack a good licking right there in front of everyone. The other real girls in the bar erupted into hysteria, a passing Taiwanese tourist took several photographs, and several customers with weak stomachs left the establishment immediately. This morning, Pisshead Harold claims he can’t remember a thing about the incident; a claim which given the amount of Chang beer he poured down his throat, is certainly entirely possible."

I recently saw this ebook available on Amazons Kindle platform,free of charge. I've just downloaded the iPad app....also free...and so got my first electronic book a few minutes ago. Already,I've laughed many times. This is so funny,and perfectly written. Bonking Billy's Thailand Diary. Free Kindle download on Amazon.

Hi CB It's the same photo,just presented in a different way...a photoediting option,which has presets at different values and therefore different effects.Here's another,from the same original picture. Sometimes monochrome pictures hit the spot where multicolour doesn't.

Here's a pic I really like. It was taken when I was experimenting with aperture values,and as a result not enought light got in,so I'll play with it in black and white modes and see what it looks like. The Walking Street greeters seem to have formed a cordon to blockade the street!

Thanx! Its outside the Kitten Club.

Thanks CC2!

I saw this breakfast sign on Walking Street,up near Soi 16,and was convinced there were two penis heads poking out below the ham. Of course,it is a couple of frankfurter type dogs,sliced as they do. Was it intended,kind of subliminal,or just one of those things? The two eggs probably have Freudian conotations too.

The woman in the first picture hauls her carcass up and down Walking Street all night long. Strange old world!
