  1. I realize this is Ancient, but was the best Map of The Six I could find via gOOgle. What was the name of the bar with the gals in plaid skirts? I believe it was on the South side of the street about halfway down.
  2. CaddyShack also a bar in that vortex where East Pattaya almost becomes joined with The Dark Side
  3. This seems like activity that could get one banged up, & it would be even easier to get nicked by the Bobby if you do not know where you're heading & are asking about. I remember being loose with the rules in a middle Eastern country & we ended up getting a little in the shit for being drunk in public, just for trying to get a cab.
  4. Get into the lounge & sample the local cuisine. Get some sleep.
  5. I lived in L.A. for a while & spent a lot of time in Hollywood, but ironically the closest filming to me was in Virginia Beach when they made Navy S.E.A.L.s with Charlie Sheen. Some people I knew were extras, walking on the sidewalk when Charlie goes into a building on the beachfront road. Charlie also tried to hang out in the S.E.A.L. watering holes, but they gave him the cold shoulder.
  6. A former coworker of mine, from long ago, has recently contacted me to get my take on jumping ship & moving to The Land of Smiles. I wanted to tell him the Hey Days are over, but I tried to be encouraging. He is looking at it like a horny sailor getting a port liberty, but I am unsure of how to persuade him to think more objectively. Private Dancer was my last suggestion, which I think all newbs should read, before even getting their first tourist visa.
  7. Back to School where he installs a hot tub in a dormitory room
  8. When I lived on Soi Yodsak & drank at Washington Square, a group of regular imbibers disappeared after a boiler room got busted.
  9. I remember being in a Catch-22 situation between the bank & Immigration at least once. The bank wanted a Residency permit to open a new account & Immigration needed to see a certain amount of money in a Thai bank to proceed. The bank account I had been using for my wages was not acceptable, but I cannot recall the details now. I think it was at the turn of the Millennium. I thought things had been opening up more, considering the Digital Nomad visa is a thing. I have known a handful of guys who would have qualified for that back in the '90s.
  10. There are far too many vloggers out there encouraging everyone to move to The Land of Smiles, & it has gotten out of hand. Thais are normally quite laid back on social media, but they will go tooth & nail when one of those eedjits posts something along the lines of "Should I move to Thailand?" They will berate them, commenting that they have already attracted enough vermin, & that it is ruining the Kingdom.
  11. The Wraith is what Carlos Estevez was doing while his brother Emilio was making Repo Man.
  12. This is a bit of a guess, I think it was her: Beyond the Law (1993)
  13. I watched this just a few months ago on MGM+: Who'll Stop the Rain Nick is a Vietnam veteran
  14. Gregory Peck of course it will be easy to follow that
  15. A-A-Ron Eckhart was in London has Fallen
  16. I really enjoy Shabu Shabu, it is such a convenient way for a lot of people to enjoy. Swish-Swish it basically what it means, the act of swishing the ingredients around in the boiling broth, & how they fed the soldiers in the field during the Feudal times of the Samurai & Shōgun. I actually attended a Shabu-Shabu party in Sri-Racha, the host was a Japanese man who had just bought a home. or perhaps just bought a home for his wife 😃 Ruen Thai is great, too!
  17. Do you need to go to the office where you're residing? because I've found the office in Sriracha city is a dream
  18. What I used to enjoy is when they tell you that you need document-A. So you spent a while futzing around getting document-A to them, they review some more & tell you that now they need document-Z. It is difficult to get them to review past the requirement of document-A, because they assume you'll just give up.
  19. it's not just the Thai gals:
  20. Oh my, I feel like I was the one who started these Movie Quiz threads, glad it's still happening. On a Music forum I'm on, I started a similar Music Match thread that's been going five years.
  21. I liked a @YouTube video https://t.co/u077MQH0qB Guns N' Roses - YCBM (short clip) [Rock On The Stage, US 2014-05-16]
