My suggestion to effect this is to do what was done when Sansuk first opened; charge a nominal entrance fee for under twenty-fives. In fact, it was 0 bht at that time though I realise this may be...
At the moment it would be difficult to find a hotel in the Silom/Surawong area that isn't offering reasonable prices. For example, I paid less than 1000bht pn for my November trip to the old...
I can't answer that. Who knows what the future holds? I'm just back from my stay and the Jomtien Complex was certainly busy. Or appeared to be to be. But one thing you should be aware of; there is...
The documentary was informative, the film entertainment. Room for both, in my view.
Anyway, it makes a change to see a film that isn't about superheroes or heists. And with no "love interest"...
Not so last week, at least on the Jomtien-Royal Garden- Big C part of the route which we used every day usually twice..
I do accept that falangs and other tourists were often without masks but it...
Recommended. I was pleased it showed how the whole community joined together to save the children while giving due prominence to the courage of the divers. Wisely, in my view, it stayed clear of...
No sign of certificate checking that I could see on 15 July and 2 August. My certificate was unexpectedly checked by EVA at the LHR check-in despite my being told the day previously by the airline...
It is certainly sad, as is the inexorable decline of Boyztown which, incidentally appeared to me a few days ago to be part of a general deterioration in that part of Second Road judging by the number...
All I remember is that d**n pool table. The gay scene is CM is not geared to our tastes...both a delight (well it was when I first visited in 1999) and a tribulation for those seeking to replicate...
Correction, Dodger; not one but two pools, the second of which is of salt water and is preferred by both P and me.
As for the quietness, the JC was busy again last night and the show at The...
I suspect that PG will enjoy his stay in JC just as we have. I don't need to stress , yet again, that Agate is for me - and even more so for P- the best hotel at the price we've used in Thailand.
...
If I were on my own, I'd certainly have done so. In fact, I'd have enjoyed a Singha like in old times.But we were on our way to MK in Central to be served by singing robots. and P. wouldn't have...
Pleased to hear that ...to quote Zero in "Grande Hotel Budapest".... it's an institution, isn't it.
2000 on Panorama's terrace, watching the go go dancers sashay by on their way to work....those...
I took my first look at the bars in operation last night; I was very impressed. The soi was vibrant, the lights and decor welcoming - the roof has added something- plenty of falangs and many guys...
Any news of Panorama? Our baht-bus passed it about 1800 yesterday and its lights appeared to be on. Many happy memories of early evenings there....I do hope it has survived.
The documentary about the rescue emphasised the collective efforts of the community to support the rescue operation. Local villagers contributed and supported it, sometimes at considerable cost....
Thanks, newalaan2. The JC bars certainly provide a welcoming environment.
More positive observations. Last night, Beach Road looked almost as busy as it did pre-Covid. I realise that the...
From the age of twenty-three, I experienced UK racism almost day to day. Police racism towards my Black friends and workmates and in particular towards their youngsters, political racism insofar as...
Probably true, but not the reason why some Thai guys on the scene have them. Any more than British people choose them now- nothing to do with the traditions of the Royal Navy.
"These people"....Black people? Muslim people? My experience is extensive, dating back over fifty years and, bluntly,it just doesn't fit in with what I know. It includes a lot of time in the...
"....or helped to kill," Arms sales of ordinance as well as political/diplomatic cover. And as for the US, Obama actually replenished Israel's stock of bombs after Gaza had been bombed.
Only...
I'm not sure how "cultural" tattoos are; I see them as more of a fashion, one that has grown in the last fifteen years but was unusual in earlier times. They are a complete turn-off for me too, by...
I'm grateful that I, as a Briton, wasn't blamed for the numerous massacres in Iraq, the executions by UK forces in Afghanistan, the bombing of Libya....and numerous other atrocities.
Odd, isn't it,...
