LBJ

grab a girl or two and stock up on booze, I guess that will be my plan

is it this brand?

probably still trying to decipher this poll....

Count to five in Thai and maybe you'll get a clue.

It's not that hard.

Obviously a Baht bus driver plot!

Up a little early today? What date would you like me to remove the cartoon?

From the looks of those photos you could have been flat on your back (on Walking Avenue?) for both of them.

They never gave me a problem with an 18 year old.

The Areca Lodge is a nice place. Don't know what their rates are for that time of year but you could probably get close to your price range. The Evergreen wing has a really nice pool as well.

Agreed, terrific show for zombie lovers. I'll have to get the DVD's when they come out.

OMG, what a LDOP!!!!!

Poor Claude, probably rolling in his grave.

I envy anyone that can get a non-stop flight, from here in Fort Myers (a small airport) I am always looking at at least 2 stops enroute to BKK. Delta or United are pretty much my only options if I want to keep it simple. I paid $1450 for my last trip from here so that doesn't sound that awful considering your $1157 from the west coast but I would take the non-stop as well if I could get it. Fares are up from everywhere. Thai is a good airline.

and they play similar music at least by 11pm and onward.

Having stayed on Soi LK Metro numerous times, I have often walked by this place but never had a look at the rooms. My current trip was put together quickly without much time for planning. That and the fact that I wanted to use my credit card somewhat limited my choices in the area. I decided to book with Agoda.com as I had a few thousand points with them that I could use to save a few dollars on the cost of the room. I tried to find some info on this place but with few results. What I did find was mostly positive so I decided to book. Their website is very limited and the prices they list are surely way above what any room here is worth. For this deluxe room they quote 2500B per night (aproximately) but I booked it thru Agoda for 1200B/night. I would bet you could probably get it cheaper as a walk-in. They seem to be associated with the LK Metropole as you can have access to their pool and exercise facilities. The towels are also imprinted with the LK Group logo. I like this room very much and personally can only find two things that are somewhat annoying. As this room is on the Soi LK Metro side of the building, you will hear the noise from the bars below until they close. The windows and door do not seem to have any sound dampening qualities at all. As I tend to stay out late most nights, this hasn't been a real problem for me. Secondly they have an intermittent water supply problem. Mostly my water pressure is fine but at times it has slowed to a drizzle even though it lasts only as few minutes before it is back to full pressure. Other than those two, the aircon is fine and the bed is comfy. Here is a link to their website: Keerati Home Stay

Actually I love the area. Everything I need within a few hundred feet. If you take the time to look, you can find some very nice and attractive ladies as well. That being said, I will spend the majority of my nights on Walking Street basiclly because to me WS is Pattaya and it can't be matched for the Pattaya experience. But LK is certainly better than it was, and hell, I'm evcen gonna visit the Drunken Duck this time!

They (Joe and Jack) seem to be talking about TQ, the thread OP is about TQ2 on Soi BJ.

I've got this nifty little money clip that also has a slot for an ATM card. Keep it all in my front pocket.

They were working on that when I was there in July/Aug.

Two large trucks there a few days ago being filled up with everything from inside including the kitchen sink.

Here's one from Kuwait. I think the forecast this day was "mostly sandy with a chance of death".

Just flew on Emirates last week and all the ones I saw in coach were certainly pretty.
