P.s. I kind of like the two blokes insulting each other.

 

Kind of agree, he actually started. Looking forward to a day off tomorrow I plan to enlighten the esteemed community about my very first visit to Khrungthep originating from a tecnical breakdown rather than hoping that wonderful creatures from Walking Street might finally put my life into balance.

Too much of a circle jerk here at times. Not all the time mind you. I'd like to see a lot more blokes with different views not licking each others nuts - without the asshole quotient going off the charts, probably impossible on the internet though.

 

Thailand is in a repressive social slump compared to years ago but still a very fucking beautiful place where one can actively engage with life on a level that simply doesn't exist in the sterile West. I truly believe that's why such a broad spectrum of people embrace it.

I'm waiting!

 

Sir

 

with deepest regret I have to postpone my excursion into the past until tomorrow because I overlooked the game Real Madrid versus Bayern München starting within a few minutes from now . Soccer, if you know what I mean .

 

It crossed my mind these days that nobody seems to know what has driven our Beloved Leader Mr Khunsanuk to settle in Khrungthep City . A detailed report would be welcome.

Excellent statement Mr JaiRai . Although I am currently embracing not so much the place as such but Lao´s truely loveliest female citizen . But I am principally with you .

Well I for one cannot be accused of "Licking Other Posters Nuts" I am an equal opportunities person and give each the opportunity to either have a dig back at me or to fuck off.

 

Joking aside, I feel that one person can also have the broad spectrum of reasons to embrace ThailandOne person for example os myself, well since I do not know other people so deep the only person I cam really talk about is oneself.

 

Thailand 1991, Hedonistic, could get away with shit type of thing, but that was over 25 years ago and even I change, guess what we all grow old eventually like it or not.

 

I understand Nasadai's comments since they relate to what he was experiencing before he suffered health problems and sees things as they were so to speak, happy memories, I also understand Bubi's POV about changing and moving on from the past.

 

People are unique, we each have our own reasons for doing or acting as we do, just because somebody else has a differing opinion than I does that make him incorrect or just different opinions? I would like to think the later, I am not bloody perfect, far from it, so I would never tell another "To Be Like Me?"if I did I would expect to be told to "Fuck Off" and wouldn't blame them to be honest.

 

Nobody is right and conversely nobody is wrong, basically we are all assholes in our own unique way ... Now Fuck Off. Haha

Gentlemen,

 

hereby tradesman Bubi explains how he found Bangkok .

 

Started to do business with the Asia people in the beginning of the nineties with the Japanese but gave up soon due to high prices, no supply and awkward people . Just can´t get along with them Japanese , if you visit a Japan pornsite they put electrical devices into their women and think it´s great sex. They even seem to enjoy that . What the fuck does that tell us ?

 

Anyhow, moved business towards Taiwan and to get there choose China Airlines, they labelled their planes Mandarin Airlines for political reasons then by the way . Depending on the day of the week routing has been FRA or AMS via BKK to TPE . Meaning I touched down at Don Mueang a billion times just to move onwards either way . Til the Lord in his eternal wisdom decided that tradesman Bubi needed advice. Which finally materialised in Captain Lin of aforementioned Mandarin Airlines .

 

Point is that I have always been an aircraft fanatic and whenever possible tried to get access to the cockpit which has been easy at earlier times before the goddamed Arabs spoiled everything . April 1996 I happened to sit between the pilots on an elevated seat in an MD11 from Taipei bound for Bangkok , Captain Lin ordered coffees and squeezed a paper cup between the throttle levers half full of water . The ashtray . We smoked a ciggy and talked about life . One of the very great moments I shall rememer til I die gentlemen . Captain Lin invited me to stay and enjoy the midnight touchdown at Don Mueang and further warned me I should prepare for trouble later on because the aircon was gone and probably no hope for nocturnal repair.

 

The China Airlines people tried to put as may as possible passengers on various planes to Europe but because they could not guarantee that my luggage would duely accompany me I decided for a hotel , rejected the Amari Airport and went downtown on my own .

 

Which has been visit 00001 and has become at least 00150 in the meantime . I may take the occasion to thank the Lord, Captain Lin and in particular the company that fits aircon units into MD11´s that do not work . I am really really deeply grateful .

 

Nuff said .

 

Boarding pass and Captain Lin´s business card can still be shown for evidence . No promprem .

BB - Hats off to Pilot Lim

 

Ahhh MD11's, or DC10's

 

I remember flying in Thai Airlines MD11's (DC-10) and got a business class upgrade,

 

WOO HOO

 

Only to discover that economy on Singapore Airlines was better than Biz on Thai in those days.

 

My last trip to BKK this past week, arrived midnight Sunday left Midnight Tuesday, and didn't see a single red light.

 

Not that I didn't want too, just no time with working even on Labour day
