My complaint with Five Star Visa Runs is that they serve too many baked beans in their breakfasts. It's not the English breakfast you get at the Sportsman's Pub but a variant that's very heavy on the beans and it's difficult to beat the Russians in a farting contest to the border. So I recommend First Class Visa Runs, located in the Queen Vic on Soi 6. Both these companies are more expensive than others but they do provide more service, like movies and Wifi.

Be aware that when you have your retirement extended another year you're still required to do the 90 day reporting. I made the mistake of skipping it last year, since I'd given my address on the extension, and had to pay a 2000 baht fine. You only get a new 90 day clock when you enter the country.

Best Pizza i had in Pattaya, Pizza Big and Lee's Diner, were just OK at best. While living in Pattaya, i gave it up. Started believing you can't get good pizza in Thailand. Best thing you can say about Pizza Hut is they can deliver in 15 minutes. However, coming home from Soi Cowboy last night I stopped at Pala at the entrance of Sukhumvit MRT. Just before closing they're half price (45 baht for large slice), real mozzarella, mushrooms, even Italian sausage.

American Ganster Edit: Oops, late on the trigger

I rode down to Ban Chang on my motorcycle last year just to check the place out. I also had lunch at the Beaver Bar (or maybe it was Camel, I can't remember), the club sandwich was more like an egg sandwich, better (and cheaper) at Cafe Pittini on Soi Buakhao. Took a ride along the beachfront, not very impressed with the town. Maybe it's better at night? I hope so.

This thread reminded me i haven't tried Bourbon Street at the new location and I was at Gateway mall yesterday so I stopped for dinner. Seafood Gumbo (150++) was disappointing, had to spice it up with some Gumbo fire. Served with corn bread, a little dry, but the Hurricane (190++) was liberally spiked. For the main course, I ordered the Dutch Mussles with garlic bread and angel hair pasta (350++), which was very tasty, especially with a second Hurricane. Pecan Pie for dessert, the two large scoops of ice cream prevented me from ordering a third Hurricane. WBA on the Telly, and they really need to upgrade the background music, KC & the Sunshine Band just doesn't do it. Check bin was 1331 baht, including tax and service, for soup, entree, dessert, and two well-oiled drinks. Not bad for Bangers, had I been in N'Orleans would not be impressed, but had I ordered a third Hurricane would have achieved nirvana.

Good timing for me, I have to top up my account next week for the next retirement extension. X was 41 THB/USD when I moved here.

They're very friendly in The Arab's bars if you'll buy a 240 baht lady drink for a Welcome girl that you can't bar fine. But What's Up is still a much bigger rip-off for bill padding, and Soi Cowboy bars haven't yet started substituting Thai whisky for Jack Daniels like they do in some Nana bars.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try. The reds from Suzy Wongs flushes the yellows from Dollhouse across the street.

We can have a contest of who can come up with the best fix, and I've been convinced that post-processing is necessary.

Excellent! I used to have a Porsche, do they have something like this in Stuttgart?

Most Welcome Girls will turn their back. There are more people around, so it's easier to blend in the crowd and easier to be undetected if you don't use a flash or tripod. Some girls don't mind Also, some punters don't like it, maybe the one's cheating on their wives? Not to worry, if anyone sees themselves just send me a PM and I'll delete the photo. For a fee, of course. I'm working on it. Had to leave a few nights ago because I was afraid some ladyboys were going to kick my ass.

Between Suzy Wongs, Cowboy 2, and Kiss, the red neon really dominates the center of the block.

Yes, that's an improvement. I'll have to learn more about editing software. Also, I'll try the lens at Nana Car Park at 2;00 AM, much less light but sometimes better than a trip to the zoo.

The f/1.8 is less than half the price. I'll try some portraits this weekend and see if the extra aperture is worth it. Just need to find a thai girl who's not too shy to take her clothes off.

It's an AF-S Nikkor 50 mm f/1.4G. No secret, you can get it out of the file's exif data. All shots were hand held so fast shutter, but it didn't seen to give the best shots with the aperture wide open. But here's some nice bokeh at f/1.6

Purchased a fast prime lens yesterday and was trying it out on Soi Cowboy last night.

I can live with the bangers and mash but not the faggots and pees. I'm not into gay water sports.

I'm looking for a better Reuben sandwich, best I had in Bangers was at the Landmark, there must be a better one. With potato salad, and a pickle, like this Note: This is not what they serve at the Landmark

New Orleans is a good place, been around a long time, more pecan pie than apple pie. Love the hurricanes there, very refreshing and lots of alcohol.
