I don't go to Hooters with high expectations but I got three slices of turkey and mashed potatoes, with some good eye candy. The dressing was awful but my drink was liberally spiked, so I walked away feeling OK when other places were charging more.

I had the Hooters special at Sukhumvit Soi 15 Bangkok. About 15 customers mid-afternoon. Turkey was moist and tender, mashed and fried potatos, sprouts and carrots, ham was just ok. Service was poor, I asked for apple pie for dessert but was served minced. Ordered tropical Long Island (with passion fruit). Total bill was 789.

I live in Bangkok, it's hottest from March to August (with very high humidity), but the hottest month is April.

Hooters Christmas

Maybe time to change the marketing strategy? The show only achieved 2/3 the 50,000 vehicle sales target. Too old for a foursome?

A few golden oldies

I've never ordered one there before. Thanks for the warning.

11 Long Islands X 4 shots per drink X 1.5 ounces per shot = 66 ounces of hard liquor (i.e. one shot under 2 liters). Wouldn't you be dead?

Get your kicks down on Route 66 How would you like your minivan decorated like this?

I attended this year's show today, 1.5 million are expected. Admission is 100 baht. My truck was there ... some nicer vehicles ... with lots of prettys The pretties wore mostly black and white gowns attire had to be approved in advance. Very conservative, not much exposure, but that doesn't mean they can't hop on a bike and flash some knee! Afterwards I visited Flan O'Brien's Irish Pub downstairs, just leave the bottle! I had to sober up with an Irish Coffee before heading home Cheers

The images in the first row don't identify the restaurant. The sign of a poor marketing department!

Went to the Photo Fair at BITEC in Bang Na today. No beauty pageant or Thai Penthouse models this year, but at least the Epson girl was hot.

No, If your bank balance falls below the threshold they won't give you the extension.

I extended my visa last week at Bangkok (Chiang Wattana), a month before expiration. Arrived at 8:30 am when the Bangkok Bank branch downstairs opens. After making a small withdrawal to date my passbook, I obtained the bank letter and statement of past 6 months transactions showing where I had transferred a million baht 3 months ago. No embassy letter. Had photos taken downstairs, 100 baht. Received queue number and spoke with officer at 11:45, no personal information sheet, just signed the two papers regarding overstay consequences. They make everyone exit the office between noon and 1 pm. Received my passport at 2:15 pm. It was my third extension in Bangkok, prior three were in Jomtien.

The last time I had breakfast at the Lek Hotel it cost 70 baht, that was quite a while ago. Same same as the Apex, bad at any price. Imho

Bangkok Bank offers direct deposit of social security checks but the account has the restriction that you have to collect the money in person (i.e. so the SSA knows you're alive). This is a special account you can set up with Bangkok Bank but you're paying monthly transfer fees so it's better use a US bank for direct deposit and transfer funds to Thailand annually IMHO.

These were from a different show I went to today called the Fast Auto Show at BITEC in Bang Na. This show was disappointing in that there were only a few girls so I went to the hall next door for the Safety Show. This show lasts through Sunday, but I don't recommend it unless you're looking to buy a car. From the Safety Show

Here are a few more photos. Last day is tomorrow, admission 100 baht.

Here's my Car Wash Video along with a few stills of the A-Class Girls and some of the FHM Girls 'Next Door'. I only saw 3 or 4 farangs at the show.

I think just the A-Class Image Girls are Japanese. ■ 2016 Auto Salon A-class Image Girls Profile ERENA ISHIGURO Birth date: August 5, 1985 Height / Bust, weight, hip measurements: 166cm;B:85, W:61.

This years show was scaled down but still a good one When you're pulled over for speeding and the cop asks, "What's that smell?", you can tell him it's your Hemp Air Freshener from Japan They had a cute girl group from Tokyo called the A-Class Image Girls, and they could spell their name. Highlight of the show, as always, was the Sexy Car Wash. I'll post when it finishes uploading to YouTube.

I'm considering this service. Supposedly, you can get a driver's license and residency by staying one night every five years. Sales tax is 4%, but I have never been to South Dakota. http://www.americas-mailbox.com

Looks good but how much is beef and how much is filler?

Thanks Butch, here's another for you.

There's a big bike show at Terminal 21 this week. Not many bikes. Even worse, not many girls. But I live in the neighborhood.
