  1. Fiery Jack by a country mile. Only other writer that came close was his mate Muff Richardson that also posted once or twice. Oh, and of course that brilliant nutcase Mao Mark (?) from about thirty years ago. That character SileakHunt was very wonderful too. I liked him.

    What happened to Fiery Jack? He hasn’t posted on here for ages. I hope he’s okay.

    ...on Monday, a British tourist became one of the first to be publicly identified as possibly suffering from the potentially deadly virus.

    Ash Shorley, 32, was taken to the hospital in Phuket, Thailand, late last month for a pneumonia-like infection that doctors reportedly say includes symptoms consistent with the coronavirus... Shorley’s parents told The Sun that they are awaiting test results to see if he has indeed been infected by coronavirus.

    It was negative: not coronavirus, just bog-standard 'flu.

    I've got a return flight to BKK booked in early March (5th-11th): Thai Airways booked via Expedia, bottom price 'non refundable non changeable' blah  blah blah.

    I had same type of Thai Airways ticket booked (also Expedia) 2 years ago. Had to suddenly cancel 2 weeks before travel. Rang Thai Airways directly (Edited to ADD: NO POINT contacting Expedia, they're fucking useless) and they allowed me to cancel and refunded the money minus US$200 'cancellation fee' (so I got 80% of my money back).

    Rang Thai Airways just now and they said it will be same US$200 cancellation fee, rest of money refunded) if I cancel my March tickets (right up to 24 hours before departure okay). Bloke I spoke to advised me to wait until 'as late as possible'. Said if this coronavirus thing gets really bad in Thailand Thai Airways 'maybe' will let folks cancel with full refund.

    Wait and see. Pain in the fucking arse for everybody.

    Hi,

    The title issue was probably caused by the software upgrade. Signatures were actually turned off (have turned them on). You can change them by clicking on your username (in the top right of the screen) and selecting Account Settings. You will then see a menu item called Signature in the menu on the left.

    Sanuk!

     

    Thank you, Reverend Khun Sanuk, for everything you are, and everything you do. My life has been better because you have been in it, and I've had a lot more fun. X

    Starting in the early 90s [Japan has] had a moribund, stagant period that hasn't gone away. Its going on nearly 30 years!! 

     

    Ha! yes. Which coincides exactly with when old Fiery Jack first took up residence in Japan! :applause:

    Er...  :confused:

    :relieved:

    Just saying. :clown:

  5. I've been posting on here for over 10 years too, and I still can't do that right by the look of it. Hence the double post above. :doah:

    They say it takes 10 years to become expert in something.

     

     

    That can't be right. I've been boozing for 40 years and I'm still shite at it. I can't stop breaking stuff and falling over. If anything, I've got worse with time. :doah:

    And I've been regularly shagging tuppenny Thai tarts for nigh on 20 years, and I'm still fucking crap at that too (according to most of them). :relieved:

  8. Though from about 2000 to 2015 I used never to stay anywhere else, I haven't used Nana Hotel at all during my last few visits. I finally had enough. Like Specialist, I finally realised that, by paying a bit more, I can easily get somewhere infinitely better. So that's what I do now. Last few trips, I've stayed at a different place every time (harvesting 'special offers', and making sure they're all guest friendly before booking). It's so far so good, and I like the variety. Somewhere new every time. I'm in BKK for a few days in July and just booked at ALOFT on Soi 11. Got a hell of a good deal, and it looks great. :applause:

     

    Looks like Nana Hotel is still coming up trumps with some folks though. 'Highflier' of old London town in the Kingdom of United stayed at Nana Hotel just three weeks ago, and he certainly got his money's worth. :clown:

    <p>

    WORST STAY IN A HOTEL EVER - STRICTLY DO NOT USE!! DISGUSTED!!

     

     

    We checked in this hotel to leave our bags behind and went out to the Chatuchak Weekend Market thus didn’t really check the room! When we returned we found the room to be atrociously DIRTY beyond belief and if you fancy staying in rooms where air-conditioning unit leaks and bathroom full of molds then this is the place!!

     

    The staff were extremely rude when I made a complaint and were trying to disregard my complaint! They then changed our room for us when I showed them photographs of the rooms but only for us to found out the second room was worst than the previous one!

     

    The beds seriously needs changing for the mattress are all ruined by working call girls for hire by the hour just next door to the hotel!! The smell from the mildrew and molds were throughly disgraceful and unacceptable!

     

    If you enjoy listening to screaming woman who’s trying very hard to satisfy old dirty man, this is the perfect place for you!!

     

    If you need evidences, please e-mail me!!

     

    NEVER WILL I EVER STAY IN THE BANGKOK NANA HOTEL AGAIN!!

     

    I used the Agoda App to book this hotel as I’ve used Agoda before and they’re quite DISHONEST about their hotel's review as all they are interested is in your money! They failed to retrieved my money back on my behalf, I’ll never use Agoda again! I used them because I rely on the brand name of Agoda and their promise to customers satisfaction but it is all lies!! Agoda then said I did a NO SHOW thus refused my refund! Cheats!!

     

    Your choice to pick this hotel but don't say I didn't warn you all.Show less

    Ah, the memories...

  9. I think I misread this years ago. https://www.thaivisa...attaya-closing/

     

    Stick did a nice interview on him in 2007

     

    Yes. I saw that, and a couple of other articles like it. Seems Marc's friend and business partner (Francis) died suddenly. In 2007, by most accounts.

     

    But it appears that Marc was quite seriously ill at the time. I'm hoping he recovered and is still with us, wherever he's residing now. Wish someone could confirm that...

     

    Here's hoping.

     

    jack :help:

     

    PS. This was written in 2013. Mentions Marc twice, but nothing about him subsequent to his friend's death...

  10. I thought it closed years ago!

     

    I was never a fan but I didn't mind the french bloke who started it, didn't he die many years ago in Pattaya?

     

    I think he even posted here as "Eden Papa"???

     

    The whole thing was far to rough and ready for me, then, now, I'd probably love it!

     

    Relax. Heard today: Eden's open for business, and it's business as usual. Panic off. :relieved:

     

    Original manager was Marc. French. Mellow, affable, charming. Yes, I think he posted on here, possibly as Eden Papa. I had certainly not heard that he died. Sad to know if it is indeed so. Can anyone confirm or (preferably) refute this? :hmmm:

     

    Marc left Eden some years ago, and was followed by another equally lugubrious Frenchman, Mickey. As far as I know, Mickey still reigns. He was there last time I visited Eden, which was last December. :hubba:

     

    As we were, boys. As we were.

  11. Our friend and fellow quester Mr Steven Cho has merely ably illustrated a possible process of which we would all do well to stay aware. It all adds up:

     

    crazy/two-timed/short-changed/dumped/betrayed/drunk/ya-baaed bargirl/freelancer/(or more likely) ladyboy +

     

    drunk/naive/unsuspecting monger =

     

    spiked drink + much subsequent mayhem/madness/disaster/trouble/injury... :doah:

     

    As you will know well, Gentle Reader, your old Uncle Jack's had a few close shaves over the decades, some very close, but not as bad as Mr Cho's naked public shit-smearing frolic. No judgement here, lads. Hope he was okay. There but of the grace of gods... :relieved:

     

    jack :help:

     

    PS. Slightly off topic, but why is he described as 'South Korean' if he holds a 'US passport'? Genuine query. :hmmm:

  12. I heard a rumour. Twice. Closing for 'renovation' around 'the end of April' was what I heard both times, to be precise, but, the way it's going on Lower Suk these days, I'm shitting my pants. :clown:

     

    It is April now. The cruellest month. I am incoming soon. And Soi 7 Beergarden is to me as star charts are to sailors. :applause:

     

    Tell me it ain't so. Anyone? :sad:

     

    jack :help:

  13. Well, here I am. Last night, first time in BKK for six months, and here we go...

     

    Soi Cowboy? Why not! Baccara was good. Lots of sexy young birds, doing the two step putting-out-a-fag shuffle, all knickerless underneath wee mini skirts on you could crane your neck and get a good look up. But mostly mainly very obviously out for a Jap bloke, of which there were many in attendance. Had three beers and left. 6/10

     

    Suzy Wong should be renamed 'Old Bangers' and, incredibly, if it's possible to be a woman wearing stockings and not look sexy, my votes go to number 85 and 62. One beer and fuck that. 2/10

     

    The hilarious thing was that in Suzy Wong I sat next to some handsome young German bloke and his beautiful German girlfriend. She was a bit pissed, :drunk: and had obviously dragged him here as a 'let's go and tut-tut at the sleaze' sketch. He was sober. Soon as the gals start grinding knickerless, his eyes start wandering and her face looks like torn shite. She gets on his case and won't give up. I don't speak German well but I felt sorry for the bastard. Couple of embarrassing world wars lost and all that, and now this. :relieved:

     

    Lighthouse is good too. Mostly dogs dancing but some diamonds in the dustbin. 6/10

     

    Then somewhere else. Drink had kicked in. Some shit place. Birds all over me but uglier than I am.

     

    Ended up going back to Lighthouse then in some short time dump with two birds from Lighthouse. One was a wee chubby thing, good as gold and could've sucked a bowling ball through a hosepipe. Other sat there and looked at her phone while I shagged fatty. Business as usual, then.

     

    Good to be back. It's still here. :hug:
