First the Playboy centerfolds were younger than me. Then the pro athletes were younger than me. Then the washed up athletes were younger than me. Then the political and business leaders were younger than me.

Hi Gonzo, It's good to hear you are liking your Vios. I was a little concerned when I saw the older model, in the first photo you posted. I have the same 2010 Vios E, but it's white. We had to wait a couple of weeks for our's to be trucked to the dealer in Sakon Nakhon. They threw in the insurance, window tint and a rear spoiler. We've added a bit of chrome trim, and my wife wants to put on a body kit and new rims. It's nice having a little car around town, and it's easy to park. But after purchasing a Tata Xenon pick-up, I don't like driving the car.

Thank you monkeyman. I always enjoy Monkeywatch.

It's just a game silly boy.

This sounds a lot more entertaining than soccer. In America a soccer has-been is someone who still plays it past the age of 10 years.

Nobody needs American football to be popular outside the U.S. America is big enough to support the N.F.L. on it's own. Yes, soccer is loved by a lot of people in a lot of small countries, but it will never crack the American market, no matter which soccer star they bring to the U.S. to play that boring game.

I thougt this thread was about the Ringling Bothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Isn't that the greatest show on Earth?

Soi 8 icon, Joy Beer Bar closed on Saturday May 1, 2010. It re-opened across the soi, the same afternoon. These two sentimental degenerates refused to move to the "new" Joy Beer Bar, as it was deconstructed around them. Eventually, they got thirsty and dragged their barstools to the new bar and bought the first round there. New bar, same old sign.

I'm a big fan of the MONKEY WATCH.

Hi again Gabor, By safer I mean less traffic. I don't feel safe driving my self on a moto in Pattaya, but I am fine to drive the entire island ring road on Samui. They have a few boxing stadiums on Samui, but the price of admission is a bit much. The Saturday night boxing in Lamai is only a big deal because Samui is a small island. They can't offer a lot of things to do, compared to Pattaya. Beach Road in Lamai is lined with restaurants. Most will have the days catch on ice by the entrance. "Sala Thai" is one of my favorite restaurants there. Lamai Beach is beautiful. You won't be disappointed. Cheers

Hi Gabor, I have spent much time on Samui and in Lamai. It's a smaller beach than Chaweng, so it's not spread out as much. You can't miss the boxing ring. It's right in the middle of a large beer bar complex on the beach road. They only have the free boxing on Saturday nights. Look around a bit to get a good seat with out an obstructed view of the ring. Ringside is good, but sometimes it's nice to sit back at the bar with one of the cutties. I think there is still only one go go bar on Samui. It's in Chaweng close to the Green Mango. But many beer bars, especially in Lamai. There is a Philipino band called "Ovada" which plays at the Siam Bar and Grill in Lamai. It's fronted by two hot chicks who play guitar and sing. It gets a little loud but I always enjoy it. Another nice place is at the end of Lamai Beach. It's called "Buddy Beer". It's open 24 hours and the food is good. They have nice pool tables and foosball. Samui is easy to get around on by motorbike. I always feel much safer than in Pattaya or Bangkok. If you're not very comfortable on a motorbike, you may want to rent one with an automatic shift. Around 200 baht a day to rent. I hope this is some help. Have fun.

What do I have to do to delete one of my posts? I am able to edit it down to nothing, but for the life of me I cannot totally delete it.

I have flown China Air a few times now, and have booked them for another trip in September. The seats ARE very cramped, unless you get lucky and get in a row with leg-room. This may be a reason to fly the other carrier. The CA food is not so bad. Better than any I've had on U.S. flights. The sexy cabin attendants will give you all the beer you want too.
