Haha, a short ride to the pier. The Name of the gay bar is Silver Sand Bar. The gay beach is just in front of the bar to the south.

Ok, good info
you are getting confused, the James Bond mini bus goes to James Bond Island from Phuket - and yes you do have to have a "golden gun" but I am not sure if that is to get on to the island or to get off ...Originally Posted by scottish-guy
Is this a James Bond kind of mini bus or what?

Smiles is probably referring to Phra Mahathat Chedi Phakdee Prakat พระมหาธาตุเจดีย์ภักดีประกาศ, a spectacular place (judging by pictures, I haven't been), where the ashes of the late king will be placed.
"Riding a bicycle on sand" is what I compared my work in chemical research in universities to, and now compare my dating Thai boys to. Alternatively "running in knee-deep water".
I'm not a beach person, but for proximity to Bangkok I would have a look at Bang Saen (long beach popular with Thai, I estimate 20,000 - twenty thousand !- beach chairs by multiplying rows and columns and concessions, and some spots for sightseeing as well, ask for details), or Koh Si Chang (not to be confused with Koh Chang), some spots for sightseeing, ask for details.
Yes, Tong Chai is the name of the hill where the wat has been built.
Are you sure the ashes of the late King will be placed there ? If true, that will be the end of the quiet and secluded Ban Krut that we know, as so many thais will come here in pilgrimage.

Ah, Christian.
The bike ride of course is on the pavement, not the bloody sand!
There is a small road which follows the beach from the temple hill on the north end to the outskirts of Bang Saphan on the south end. I guess I just assumed that the smarter dudes reading the post would get that.
As for the temple, it may well be the mountain's name, but the temple itself is called Wat Tang Sai. It is also commonly called by Thais and tourists alike as Wat Tong Chai. Phra mahaha chedi is not the name of the temple, but is one of the chedis on the grounds.
I doubt very much that the late king ashes will be placed at Wat Tong Chai. The temple is not old, has very little history, and is far away from Bangkok. The ashes will end up sometime next year in one of the main buildings at the Grand Palace for a time, until the final resting is decided on.

Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
...smiles...actually I was being genuine...on the map it looks two skips and a hop from malaysia...besides I dont really know how far north the southern states insurgency reaches...to date being an unabashed sex tourist I've limited myself to BKK and Pats where plentiful cheap arse is to be had.....
However I do have oodles of airline points and occasionally like to gift my brother and his wife and their 2 kids the occasional cheap tickets to somewhere nice...theyve done Bali and Phuket already..on my account...so was looking for something else....but never mind I've gleamed enough from this post .....
You "gift" FOUR (presumably long-haul) seats - and you do this "occassionally", all from airline points?
I find that really hard to believe - by my reckoning you'd need to be flying long-haul Biz/First class about every 2 months and paying every business and household bill with airline branded credit cards.
I have 1.7 million flying blue points and 1.3 million miles&more points. And yes I did fly a lot up until a year ago, was based in Amsterdam and did a long trip every 6 weeks or so, and at least 2 short (under 2 hours) trips in between....paid everything (hotels, meals & car rentals) with my amex card which accumulated flying blue points.
Now I fly long haul every 3 months or so...not so good where my frequent flyer status is concerned but much better for my health.
As stated previously, Im an auditor, by the very nature of my job have to visit facilities to audit...comes with the job...very nice when auditing Thailand/Brazil...not so nice when its India/Nigeria.
Yes, and as you also stated previously when you appeared on the board with this fanciful "I'm an auditor" story, the company paid for your flights and first-class hotel accommodation. Remember?
So how could you collect flying points?? You never used your an amex card!
Oh, and just a quick reminder - you are no longer an auditor. You've moved to Australia with a new job. You threw that jet-setting lifestyle away. Remember?? All for a 'small" payrise.
Lol
