Monkeywatch - November 2011

[monkeyman 1,604]

Greeting Monkeywatchers, and welcome to another damp edition of life in the Land Of Sponges.

 

Well, floods are once again news in Pattaya, not because there are any, but because of the arrival of stampeding hordes from Bangkok who've fled to Fun City in an attempt to avoid getting their backsides moistened. Several evacuation centres have been set up in the area, though there are reports that many people have been turned away as they were deemed to be "not wet enough".

 

An Englishman was involved in what was described as "a battle with three transsexuals" on Pattaya Beach the Saturday before last. The British Consular Attaché, Drifford Bone, said "We may have to reconsider our position of promoting Pattaya as a family resort".

 

Good advertising is essential if you want your product to sell really well…

 

 

A Russian couple were robbed by a gun toting Thai chappie on Monday while returning to their hotel near Pratamnuk Road after a Halloween celebration. When asked why he stood by while his wife made a lunge at the attacker's gun, the man replied "It was dark and she thought it was his penis".

 

It seems that bottled water is in short supply in Pattaya at the moment. Still, who cares? Water was always overrated as a drink anyway.

 

There's an appeal going on in Pattaya at the moment where people are being asked to donate rice. Donate rice? In Thailand? Christ, they'll be asking us bring our own girls next.

 

Fun City does of course have its own versions of The Seven Wonders Of The World. Here we see The Hanging Wires Of Pattaya…

 

 

A few bits of bar news to report this month. Mirage a Go Go came and went with a rapidity that put even Sakura Club 69 to shame, though it's now reopened with the new name of Baron A Go Go and a certain well known mamasan who's had more clubs than Tiger Woods. Dream A Go Go, that was formerly Catz A Go Go and Toyz A Go Go is now Closed A Go Go. X-Zyte has now been completely demolished and the site is rumoured to be earmarked for a new IT complex to rival Tukcom. Bet the boys in brown are planning their first raid already. The late unlamented Goodfellas is to reopen shortly, allegedly as a Go Go, and for those familiar with Spanky's in Nana plaza, Pattaya is to have it's very own establishment of the same name on the site of the old Limmatquai 80 ladyboy poofs club on Soi Diamond.

 

There was a bit of a panic last weekend when it was reported that a tornado had been spotted in Pattaya Bay shooting wind and water 400 metres into the air. Fortunately, it turned out to have been caused by a German tourist who'd gone for a swim after a night on the beer.

 

Well, at least they won't go hungry when they're on duty…

 

 

A French couple are reported to have had a 100,000 baht fire at their home in East Pattaya. So some people really do have money to burn.

 

Pattaya has donated 50 boats to flood victims in Pathum Thani. Well, if any of them are jet skis they'd better be careful not to scratch them.

 

Finally, we spotted a story on a local website that Pattaya City Council has decided to get rid of all the baht buses because of the number of complaints from tourists. The story was dated 12 August 1993.

 

be seeing you

Good one, as usual. :)

Is that the "new" Goodfellas on Walking Street that has gone under or the "original" Goodfellas on Soi 6?

Thx.
