  1. UPDATE: The Cheap Charlie cul-de-sac was open today for a garage sale. Normally cordoned off, and no trespassing, so I took the opportunity for some snaps. (See page 1 of this topic to see as it was.) Entering from the north end, formerly the Suk 11 Guesthouse Chez Pape still has a "Help Wanted" sign out. Looks pretty shabby, good thing you can't see much of it from the street. Here's the southern end, with the former site of Cheap Charlie's on the left. BTW, Cheap Charlie's has reopened in On Nut http://www.khaosodenglish.com/life/nightlife/2017/11/0
  2. The Mystery of the Missing Massage Shops Adjacent Villa Market were a sequence of shops starting with an Indian Restaurant and ending with a hair salon, with 8 small massage shops (all offering happy endings) in between. The massage shops were open until 3-4 AM. Last month, all the massage shops closed, but not by any police action. Evidently, leases expired and the businesses were forced to move, but only the massage shops, all other businesses remained. Furthermore, an additional 10 massage shops behind Villa Market closed, while another two restaurants, a travel age
  3. Narration by Hillary? Like at the Grammys
  4. On Sukhumvit at Soi 10, Chuwit Garden is to be replaced by a mall. It's a pity since there's not a lot of open space around. Formerly known as Sukhumvit Square, populated by bars and GoGos when purchased by Chuwit Kamolvisit. Does anyone remember? He hired a few hundred thugs to demolish the businesses at 4 AM Jan 26, 2003 to dispel the tenants. http://www.khaosodenglish.com/featured/2018/01/18/sukhumvits-chuvit-garden-paved-mall/ I recall enjoying a cigar on the gazebo in the back (before I realized no smoking was permitted). Meanwhile, construction on the Q Hous
  5. Reading "Fire and Fury", by Michael Wolff, on iPad Pro Kindle App.
  6. This year's Thailand International Auto Expo runs thru Sunday. Here are some photos from this years show.
  7. Took some more photos today. These larger bikes were priced at 1.3 to 1.8 million.
  8. You use the routing number of Bangkok Bank, New York with the account number of your Bangkok Bank account in Thailand and they do the currency conversion based upon the rate of the day.
  9. I direct deposit to my US bank, then top up to Bangkok Bank via ACH once a year to minimize transfer fees.
  10. Thats incorrect. Bangkok Bank, New York only does business banking. You cant create an account with them but you can use their routing number to do ACH transfers to a Bangkok Bank account you've created in Thailand.
  11. I got mine in June. Haven't gotten another so I assume they received my reply. I'll find out for certain next year.
  12. Here's an update. Photos from this morning. A quiet Sunday morning Site of the legendary Cheap Charlies Bar, a Bangkok institution for decades. Now the entire cul de sac is being cleared for more luxury condos. El Gaucho Steakhouse has moved further down the Soi. Starbucks has arrived, there goes the neighborhood. Even the BJ Bar is gone now. Site of the former Q Bar Insanity Disco and V8 Diner moved in to compensate for closure of Climax Disco, occupying the spot previously used by the St. Regis. Not my car Kazbar kill
  13. The difference between a lawyer and a hooker is that the lawyer will do anything for money.
  14. I went to the Big Auto Sale at BITEC today. Unfortunately, no sexy car wash, just a band. How would you like it if someone poured watercolors all over your new Jaguar? Only saw one other farang but there were other strange creatures ...and, of course, beauty queens
  15. The Lek breakfast buffet cost 70 baht in 2005. I am positive of that, it was the last time I ate there.
  16. Although his cause was just...he hurt the game and deserves to be out of the league.
  17. I shot some video, too. They streamed live video on facebook from inside the car.
  18. BTW, I received this year's 'heartbeat' letter today. Supposedly, if they don't hear from you they will send a second letter in 90 days before cutting you off.
  19. Very dangerous. Young women sexually assault you and take your money.
