    I've never seen you wearing a hat like that. It looks nothing like you!

    "Boyztown 1982-2008" (note the correct time-span) can be obtained from the reception at Ambiance Hotel and Cafe Royale in Pattaya; also available at Amor Restarant, Copa Showbar and through all the other bars in Pattayaland Soi 3.
    Half the cover price (600 bat) is donated to Pattaya Gay Festival. :study:
    It's rather heavy, but postage worldwide could probably be arranged with the sellers at cost price; you could try asking Jim at Ambiance or Printer Graham at Cafe Royale who reviewed it on his website "Gay Affairs" some time ago. :thumbleft:
