A strategic move by the TG I would expect, since the breast tends to stay fuller and firmer as long as she is still lactating a bit. Tends to delay ovulation as well I think so the thai boyfriend who is barebacking her is less likely to get her pregnant. Whatever lights your fire. Some guys like it and it's up to them. Pattaya is like Alice's Restaurant. You can get anything you want, INCLUDING Alice. ~Sa-teef

They don't have a website. Most of their customers seem to be long stays. 33/40 M. 10 Soi LK Metro Pattaya City Banglamung Chonburi 20150 66(0) 3841 6234 keerati_home@hotmail.com That's what's on the business card I have from when I stayed there the month of June. The manager's name at the time was On, and she also gave me her e-mail address. She seems to use it for business purposes so I will post it here. on_tongyan@yahoo.com That's either an "n" or an "m" just before @yahoo.com. Her handwriting isn't the best. I stayed there during low season and they

I've stayed at Keerati Home Stay, eaten at several of the restaurants and visited several bars and both of the ago-go's on Soi LK Metro. It's an up and coming area without a doubt. I've stayed at Jasmine Mansion just around the corner and there are a wealth of good eating and drinking places in the other side streets nearby. I've stayed on or near the place for all of the 3 1/2 months I spent in Pattaya this year. It will never be a Walking Street but it can be a very enjoyable area. A lot of potential in the businesses located in the area I think. Agree with you about the food in Soi

Ah Ruskiehat! Your class far exceeds my budget! I think I am firmly planted as a cheap charlie in my eating habits in Pattaya, mainly because I don't feel the need to seek out the finest restaurants. So many of the of value priced places satisfy my simple palat I'm afraid! And how interesting Emil that three of your favorites are also mine now! "1. White Knight buffet on Soi VC, don't let the gay area scare you away. 2. Cherry restaurant 3. Vientienne on Walking St, haven't tried the one near the Big C on Pattaya Tai. 4. Num Chai on Soi Buakaow 5 Thai Bar b Que buffet joint o

Trying to think like a Thai and knowing what part of town they are familiar with or think you would like to stay in might help a little? There is the P J Inn out on Soi Sukradee off Pattaya Klang that is a pretty Thai place: Look for this sign off Pattaya Klang: There is the B R Inn on Soi 12 between Beach Rd and Second Rd: And there is also the K K Inn just south of the Pattaya Tai/Second Rd intersection just off of Walking Street: It could be any of those. B's and P's...............K's and R's get a little confusing for Thais sometimes.

"I think this deposit requirement is relatively new as I checked the website a few months ago and I do not recall seeing it. " Yes, it's new. When I made my reservation for May '05 it wasn't required. The day I walked in he told me rather sarcasticly that he was surprised to see me since Americans all pull no-shows! Quite a way to impress your customers: insult their country of origin with the first handshake? ~Sa-teef

The Thai kareoke was operational in '05 when I was staying there. They would finally shut-down around dawn, and then three days a week they were pounding stakes into the ground with sledge hammers right outside your window about that same time! When I stayed there: -there were bugs in the kitchen and bathroom, -the linen was paper thin, -the beds were horribly uncomfortable for me. I woke with a backache most of the days. -there is NO SECURITY because they leave the supposedly locked entrance to the apartments blocked open most of the day and night. that entrance is open to

"I would be delighted if Sa-teef would pop in during his next visit to see the present water pressure level and report back to you as an independent reviewer." Oh Good! Can I bring Noi along to check-out the water pressure? Well, it was just a thought....... ~Sa-teef

"300 baht for blood on the sheets. – Now if the girl was on her period then fine, but the blood was 4 TINY specks from my knee from an old cut which was slightly aggravated through sex. I was told that all sheets had to be replaced when blood was on them for Hygiene. More than likely, total bullshit, but even so were they Armani sheets??? 400 Baht – For joiner fee, for having 2 ladies on 2 separate occasions. First time this has ever happened to me and I have stayed in a lot better places. 300 Baht – For checking out 35 minutes late. Every other place gave me a warning out and Areca sa

Two votes for Jasmine Mansion. I stayed there for ten days in April and if I was doing another short stay that would be my first choice. There is no lift, so if a couple flights of stairs would be a problem for you it might not be the right hotel. But I agree with the other poster in all respects. It's kept very clean (think it's only been around for two years) and Kevin or Jin seem always available for any questions or issues. The staff was top notch when I was there and I found it very good value. I've posted a review of it in the hotel review section as Vikingfan. ~Sa-teef

It was origianlly written a couple of years ago and not by John Cleese. Completely debunked at the time. Can't you find anything original or new? ~Sa-teef

I won't be using him again. I had a reservation for Sept 2nd 00:30 hour and his driver pulled a no show. I tried calling the two numbers supplied and there was no answer. This is two out of three efforts to use his service with unsatisfactory results. NEVER AGAIN!!!! ~Sa-teef

Yes, a good Brandywine or Arkansas Traveler tomato is hard to beat! You might experiment with some open pollinated varieties and consider screening them with cheesecloth to limit the amount of direct sun they get. Quite a few varieties blossom and set fruit based on length of day so you may have to do some research to find out what is appropriate in Thailand. There must be an agricultural extension office in most areas of Thailand, and finding one of those guys or a prof at a Radgie who teaches the subject would have you sitting pretty. Get this worked out and write down what work

Nice work again , Monkeyman! Your hospital story is good: "One of the local hospitals recently conducted some practical training for large-scale road accidents in Thailand by simulating an accident scene. Nice thought boys, but wouldn’t it have been easier to hang around for a few minutes and wait for a real one?" But the best hospital story of the month had to be the one where the guy jumps from the window of one hospital and they call an ambulance to take him all the way across town to ANOTHER HOSPITAL? that one defies even thai logic.... Thanks for brightenning up our d

"EVA Air is primarily a shipping, as in freight, company and the Boeing 747s I've personally seen EVA use have all been Combi-s" I think I've been on both varieties on EVA, but I wouldn't bet money on it. Either way, I love flying triple 7's so it was good news to me! NOT that I want to argue the point, but it looks like you may have got your information from the Boeing website: Boeing Aircraft 365 seats in a 22/70/273 configuration. But the EVA website describes their fleet in a little different terms: EVA fleet 316 seats in a 42/63/211 configuration. They p

Long waits are going to be more common I think. From the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: "Thursday, July 13, 2006 - U.S. airlines carried 0.5 percent more domestic and international passengers and flew 4.8 percent fewer flights on their systems during the first four months of 2006 than they did during the same period in 2005" US Flight Stats It's a fact of life with higher fuel prices I think. The airlines have to cut costs everywhere they possibly can to hope to make a profit. I noticed on EVA's website they will be adding two more triple 7's to their routes to the U

Kevin and Jin, the propriators at Jasmine Mansion are in the process of renovationing a building for long stay occupants. Their hotel is reviewed in the hotel section here and if I was staying four months Kevin would be a good starting point for a long stay place. You might consider contacting them depending on the time frame of your stay. kpm217@yahoo.com Or alternately, you might consider staying there the first couple days and searching on the ground. As OnMyWay has said, many of the best buys will not generally be available on the web. The one bedroom apartment I'm staying i

Well over in that neighborhood you knew I'd have some pics of it, didn't ya? But not many. I was busy and didn't make it inside to see any of the rooms. The lobby area looked nice. I'll try to take the nickel tour in September and get some pics. ~Sa-teef I'm sure those are rack rates which will de deeply discounted. Let's not forget the Mercure' (sp) is over in "that area" as well as the LK Metropole and they both seem to be pretty busy? LK Mansions is on a side street off Soi Bhuakow near Central and the hospital. The LK Group didn'

Soi LK Metro is basicly a long two blocks long with a 90 degree turn in the middle. It runs between Soi Diana Inn and Soi Bhuakow. You are surrounded by good, reasonably priced restaurants on adjoining streets and there must be 3-4 places on that street as well that serve food. Bars are everywhere, with two ago-gos and lolitas also on the street. I stayed at Keerati Home Stay at the Soi Diana Inn end of the street for the month of June: I never had any issues with noice to be honest with you? I stopped several times at Metro the last ten days of April when I was in town

I used Mr Toom's service on 1 June for a pick-up at the airport heading to Pattaya. The driver was waiting for me with my name on a sign board as advised. A good, safe driver in a clean Toyota. Polite and professional in every way and got me to Pattaya safely. I had a 4:30 am pick-up heading to the airport on 30 June and that did not go so well. The driver was early and all seemed okay at first. An older gentleman in a ancient 940 Volvo. He was driving VERY SLOWLY the entire time through Pattaya and never seemd to pick-up the pace once we were out on the expressway. He kept it EX

I had a rather bad experience with one of Toom's drivers on the 30th of June. I e-mailed Toom and got apologizes but no assurance that the driver was disiplined or questioned in the matter. I'll post the whole story in the rides section...... ~Sa-teef

I stayed there for eight days in April and was happy with my stay. I had the 800 baht suite in the back fo the building but if I stay again I would likely opt for the standard rooms in the front with a balcony. "good hotel, great staff especially the cute receptionist!" Yes indeed! She has sort of an English twang to her voice which was endearing! Picked it up from boyfriend you figure? Assuming you're talking about the young one and not Kevin's wife Jin, who is attactive and very helpful from my experience. A good place. I posted a review in the hotel review sectio

Yes, all orders that I have had there come with a dinner roll and a BIG SALAD! The baked pasta night (it was lasagna and rigatoni or something along that line) was excellent IMO. I'll be staying over in that neighborhood in September so it looks like HB and I will be dining together regularly..... ~Sa-teef

Another classic from our resident mammalian cousin! Great stuff and always enjoyed. Thanks for the efforts, ~Sa-teef

Nice work! I'm in awe. I would empty the bank account for that threesome in the middle! ~Sa-teef
