  1. I bought it, as all BM's should after LBJ's contributions to the forum. Anyway, I can't seem to download it. It is just on google play or something! .......Yes, I acknowledge am a technology fuckwit! I was wanting to put it on my android tablet. Any advice, anyone?

     

    try Google'n the title of the book...it should pop up...as you now own the book... on Google Play... and you should be able to down load it...if not, I'll try and email you the link. cheers.

  2. Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out.

     

     

    Here is a link to the first 3 chapters of "The Midnight Train...Destination: Pattaya"... for free.... courtesy of LBJ and Google...I got hooked and bought the book from for a mere $2.65 US...Good luck with the next installment LBJ...can't wait to read it. Cheers.

     

    Just one question LBJ...have I met Chalee?

     

    edit...sorry guys...I bought the book after reading the first 3 chapters and I can't post the first 3 any longer...Sorry.

  3. water safety in Pattaya isn't even given a second thought...now you can't even take a ferry to Koh Larn without worrying about your safety....

     

    I wouldn't be surprised to see exclusions in future travel insurance policies to include traveling in a ferry to an outlying island off the Pattaya coast.

     

    RIP to the lost souls who thought they were on a pleasure trip.

  4. Hi O...I took both in September and got some decent shots with each...smartphone was a unlocked LG GT550 I bought through amazon.com for $55.00 USD and the camera was a point and shoot the old trusty Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8 that I purchased years ago off ebay for under $100 USD... Looking at the quality of the photos...I think the cheap smartphone wins....

     

    smartphone...

     

    and Panasonic....

  5. Apart from Pattaya (if for whatever reason it wasn't an option), where would you choose to live in Thailand, and why? What would be your priorities? Accommodation? Girls? Medical? Beaches? Transport? Proximity to borders? Food? Farangs?

    Cheers CT...

     

    I've been pondering this very question...

     

    I want to have a hobbie other than bar girls in retirement...so, I'm looking at Hua Hin because of the beaches and clean water and more laid back lifestyle.

     

    The area seems to offer a lot of things that are important to me...the many different areas for fishing, affordable housing not far from the beaches and good medical facilities.

     

    The centralized location makes Hua Hin not to distant from Bkk or Koh Samui and the city offers a pretty decent nightlife for when I feel like running around.

     

    This is the plan anyhow.

  6. if the guy is a big muscleman then he's probably safe...but if not...someone may do a Sonny Corleone on his camera.

     

    Most turn the other cheek when they get video'd by the Asian brigade on Walking Street...maybe throwing up a middle finger salute...but if a falang video's you...well, that's just plain weird.

     

    I remember when my maters girl got photographed by Sa-teef on soi Bukaroo...she saw him taking her photo and got off her bike and asked him what he intended to do with the photo...not exactly in those words though.

     

    when you take photos of people in clandestine mode in Pattaya you have to be aware of the consequences.
