  1. I always re-activate my account at http://www.asianescapades.com/ prior to a trip, filled with reviews, current goings-on as well as current pics, you do have to pay though. If you don't use a Hotel to pick you up in Manila I'd suggest these guys: http://www.margarita....com/update.php pretty reliable and have a good rep, used them on my last trip. Beisdes Orchard Inn noted by Coss there's also http://www.wildorchidresort.com/ - great location with two pools, Stayed there last spring. Walked up to Kokomos for most of my meals, great place for people watching. Have some Pattaya Expat friends living in Pattaya, AC is where they go for vacation :-) Many say you get WAY better GFE in AC and LT's the rule there (vice ST). Hopefully they'll be a "Pool Party" going on somewhere during your visit, should bring a waterproof camera if you go :-)
  2. Thought that fix was at Pink Panther during a combined Nanapong / Nanaplaza outing (involving a farang contestant)? However I could have my fight fixes mixed up.
  3. If you're talking about the Kung Fu show at the 3rd floor Hollywood of Nana, yes his assistant was outstanding, she was quite a Fox!
  4. Yes I forgot to add to the list the platform shoes back then - even their "non-boots" shoes seemed to have 6-12 inch soles making for a lot of tall girls walking around back then. Paired with their short mini-skirts or short short Hot Pants, made for quite a (nice) sight...
  5. A few memories, from a 2-week Millionaire's perspective: - Venga Boys music was everywhere - all the GoGo girls wore knee high boots :evil: - boots were often all they wore - Clinton Plaza was one of the areas to go - Dance Contests were all the rage :hubba: - bars closed 0400, if at all - baht was 45-48 to the dollar... - long time still a common phrase in Bangkok - Nana was showing - Patpong was a great place - Calsberg beer was everywhere - scantilly dressed cigarette girls and Carlsberg girls - you could easily get a seat on the Sky Train - airfares were less than 1/2 what they are now - Titty Twister was a great place in Nana - Asoke beer bar complex and Lolitas at Cowboy :hubba: :evil: - overall price of hotel rooms were cheaper - Woodstock was the Nanaplaza hang-out
  6. DM, In the old Woostock there was a clear "raised area" where everyone met however I don't recall the meeting table in Gullivers being much 'elevated'. Even in the old Woodstock which was much smaller - my very first time had a hard time finding the "correct" group. If you've never met the group, never seen the table before, and don't know anyone yet I do think one could easily join some other group in error, wonder if that's what became of some of our old members... :: Maybe KS can carry a FlagPole flying a Nanaplaza Flag at the meetings :: or, since we've a permanent Meeting post now maybe someone can paste a pic of the area or maybe draw a map. [once you enter in the front, turn left walking towards the left end wall and the motley crew will be at the last window side table area - if I recall correctly (and If I've been with the right group...)]
  7. Dude, sadly no, but there were several girls working there that I WISHED were GoGo dancers...
  8. I needed some periodontal (gum) work done and also had to have a root canal on a back molar. Having seen what a good job Thailand dentists did for me replacing a gold crown and bridge (at Thantakit), my own Dentist in the US suggested I get the work done during my next Thailand trip as I'd save thousands of dollars. Thantakit was good but they didn't have any in house Periodontists - only one that visited once a week so I simply did Google Searches to find a Dental Clinic in Bangkok that had multiple specialists - I found Silom Dental's Web site. I did search here looking for any reviews but apparently no one here ever went there so I decided I'd write one up for the benefit of others after my trip. Fisrt of all they do have an excellent Web site, filled with good data and even have video testimonials from former patients. They do indeed have many specialists who are also listed and you can even see where they got their degrees (most from Western schools). They give you a "general Dentist" to coordinate your visits and work during your stay and mine was so young and pretty I couldn't wait to see her again on future visits... Silom Dental is pretty close to Patpong and I foolishly took a Taxi there 1st couple of times - turns out they are only a half block from the Chong Non-Si Sky Train station so getting there from Jasmine Suites took only about 15-20 minutes by Sky Train. Well over the course of 7 visits I got all my work done. They have morning appointments all the way into early evening appointments which fit my partying schedule quite nice. Oddly enough I found getting all those Novocaine shots somehow acted as an aphrodisiac of all things - I was quite randy those nights as the Novocaine wore off. They did excellent work with minimal to no pain whatsoever, and still stocked me up with plenty of pain killers just in case (I never needed a single one). Its quite great to be able to chew again without pain - they also did root planing and scaling and my teeth feel much firmer in my gums now. I still have a follow up for the Root Canal on my next trip however for the 7 visits and all that work I paid about 12,000 baht all told. Here is their Web Site: Silom Dental If you plan to try them out on an upcoming trip its best to send them an email (address on their Web site), explaining what you want to see them for and also telling them the exact dates of your trip. I arrived on a FRI night - they had me in there the very next SAT morning to evaluate what I really needed and then figured how to do that during my stay. Anyway I liked their work and plan to return again for more.
