6K a month=200 baht a day, sounds ok to me.

The entire town is a party zone, its not just a 2-block area like back home. And you can get laid, not just table dances and a wank back in your room.

You can buy a house and in your own name as well, doesn't have to be owned by a business. The gov't doesn't give a shit who owns a pile of bricks. Buying land is the thorny issue. The gov't gives a shit about this.

Today's review doesn't mean much if you aren't arriving for 6 more weeks. The state of the bar and the staff working will be what it is the day you go there. That said, its a good bar and I've always been well looked after.

Subhamitra. Don't have info to hand but google it. Across the main road from nitelife area, huge outdoor pool and very reasonable for HH which does not offer as good hotel value as pattaya.

Yes.

Missed Wan's b-day party but I have celebrated privately with her more than once.

Never eaten there but its an excellent place to while away the afternoon, always new guys to meet and they don't do the drinks hustle. And the view up and down the soi is ok too.

No boats for the simple reason there is no money to be made. Pattaya to HH is 6-7 hours by bus depending on traffic and weather. By car it could be shorter but may depend on how well you know how to get past BKK.

no worries mate, 4 years in korea wold fuck up anybody's brain a few months of teaching korean males drives me nuts! carry on!

Easy chief, you're the un-worldly dweeb who leaped to a snarky conclusion because you didn't do any homework to know one of the top aerospace companies in the world. Hope you have a bit more knowledge about the big world when you begin to impart wisdom to your lucky pupils. Four questions then: 1) Do you know the difference between plurals and possessives? Perhaps not. 2) Can you spell past participles correctly? 3) Can you use an atlas? It's Hartlepool. 4) How are you ever going to get through an MA?

CELTA should not be lumped in with bozo one-month courses. It is a brutal month of work and sleep. At the end you know your stuff. People actually flunk which is a new experience for most people under 30. That said, its not necessary for working in Siam as standards are low although it will be a big help. MAs in Appl. Linguistics are fine but after age 25 who has 12-18 months plus the $ to do it? It is true in Siam you will be treated the same whether you are a drunk backpacking dropout or a qualified and experienced teacher and even 50k baht a month in BKK means a crappy lifestyle. Best bet IMO? Uni or rajabhat in a nice provincial town/city like Khon Kaen. Pattaya and Chiang Mai pay crap because too many people want to be there. Base salary is 30K in unis but the big advanage is usually less than 15 contact hours a week which is easy if you know what you are doing (contact hours are the key statistic, anything over 20/week leaves you tired). This pays the bills very nicely upcountry and leaves lots of time and energy for good-paying private lessons, so with a bit of effort you can make 50K a month with living costs 50% of Bangkok or less... and plenty of almost-free cooze. One guy I know just used to put his e-mail addy on the blackboard and tell them if they had questions just e-mail. You know the rest.

Italian Altar boy "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl". The priest asks, "Is that you, little Marco DiGiovanni?" "Yes, Father, it is." "And who was the girl you were with?" "I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation." "Well, Marco, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?" "I cannot say." "Was it Teresa Volpe?" "I'll never tell." "Was it Lucia Morelli?" "I'm sorry, but I cannot name her." "Was it Cathy Piriano?" "My lips are sealed." "Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?" "Please, Father, I cannot tell you." The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, Marco DiGiovanni, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now go and behave yourself." Marco walks back to his pew, and his friend Nino slides over and whispers "What'd you get?" "4 months vacation and five good leads."

The all-you-can-eat Thai BBQ near the Shell station on 2nd road. Get off the songthaew at the Shell station (past Big C on the right) and walk up about 100 yards. Its a huge place and you buy a ticket at the entrance, used to be 99 might be a few more baht since last fall. BBQ at the table, whole fish cooked by ladies on a grill, pork chops etc etc and always spaghetti w/meat sauce for adventurous eaters. Cute Tiger girls, too.

Anybody flying in about 7pm Friday nite and want to share a taxi. PM me please. Cheers, JK

Lap dances are for office dweebs back home who think they are on the far side. I confess lap dances don't cross my mind when I'm getting one on the couch or at the bar on soi 6.

Correct, you didn't want to plough through everything. You wanted someone to take their time and lay out all the info that has already been laid out. Why don't you walk over and see for yourself? Menu is the same, prices are the same. If the girls are attractive or not is entirely up to you.

Don't be lazy, try the search function. It works.

Go East young man!

Right you are MM! I'm a fucking muppet.

I no unnastan...soi 6 can walk walk I remember the bare rusty steel as well and when NP started to build I thought the same thing. How many years was the skeleton standing there naked in the salt air and rain? Since the 1997 crash? Lots of gloss but I think there are better buys.

I noticed also that the Paris-Gulf leg used a spanking new aircraft (777?) but the Gulf-BKK leg used a tired plane. I guess the money traffic is first leg and cheap chaalie sex tourists are 2nd leg...and who knows about the 3rd leg?

Rooms are tired, no doubt. However this is secondary when there is a pussy rubbing your face and tight lips aroubnd your cock. Great bar, dirty girls. Emil eats lunch there regularly.

I was too busy shivering to see them. I stand corrected.

If you have your card give it to them at check in and the miles will be credited. Their website should tell you the miles required.
