Plahgat's Trip-report 2012, Videos & Photos

plahgat · November 19, 2012

Hi, Guys!

Maybe some of you have noticed that I haven't done any report from my 2012 trip earlier this year.

Reason being I've been busy working and haven't found the time or enthusiasm to write any!

Anyway... got sacked from my last seasonal job a week ago and being at home living on unemployment benefit, I suddenly got plenty of time left.

I managed to pull myself together to edit and cut the reminder of my film-material, and

now I have only the trip-report left to write down, but somehow I've lost the spirit!

So here is just a brief review of my last trip, most of my trips are going after the same plans anyway so no big different from last year's trip and year before that!

2012 Travelplan:

Trip lasted from January 9 until June 12 .

Took a bus from Suwannapoom Airport to Pattaya.

Pattaya 26 April-11 June

Tycoon Place Serviced Apartments

Bus back to Bangkok International Airport

I flew with Swiss Air via a short transit in Zurich and landed in Copenhagen on 12 June.

Main purpose of trip:

This was my 25th anniversary trip to Thailand, first trip was in 1987.

Except for some R&R, my main goal with this trip was to finally have my teeth fixed!

I'd been waiting 8 years to go to a dentist, because of my fear of pain and high expenses!

When I suddenly inherited 100000 baht when an old aunt died a couple of years ago, I had no reasons to prolong the wait anymore, but this was it!

So one month before the end of my trip I finally pulled myself together and after some research found a dentist and a clinic that I felt I could trust:

After almost a month of work I finally had 7 new Zirconia crowns fitted, and also had some other smaller work done, like changing old amalgam fillings to white composite.

Total cost was 96000 baht.

I'm considering putting in a couple of more crowns next year.

Because of this I didn't get involved in as much GoGo-hopping as other years to save some money, and I didn't barfine as many girls as well.

I only had 8 girls for the whole 5 month trip, of which three were new ones and the rest old regulars.

Barfined my girls from following gogos:

Pattaya: SuperBaby, SuperGirl, Misty's

Bangkok: Rainbow 2 Rainbow 4,

Patong: Suzie Wong's

Koh Samui: GB Lounge

Barfines 6-700 baht and 2000 baht for ST.

This trip I also went to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia for 3 days, I hadn't been there since 1997.

Did a lot of normal touristy sightseeing stuff and have a lot of photos and videos to show, so I won't bother you with more boring talk but let the pictures and videos speak for themselves!

Some videos I have already put up in other threads on different Forums.
