So probably Mr Nasiadai called it a day before this board obviously did.

Members 649 LocationHamburg - Bangkok - Duesseldorf Posted August 9, 2023 Corona is overcome. The pandemic situation has returned to normal worldwide for the past year. It is time to start a new journal. Personal experiences, thoughts about reading books, reflections on what I have read in newspapers, magazines, blogs and what I have seen in the cinema, on television or on the internet. I thought this board was dying because there were hardly any posts left. So I switched to a very lively German board. And I'm posting on an English Pattaya board by Scot Alex from the Rockhouse.

You can see the sign in the background of the Farang food cart pic I posted

You made the better decision Back then my hotel of choice was the Dynasty Inn

Yeah, I remember it well. I read an article in the LA Times Sunday travel section back in mid 97 that went on about what a fantastic deal it was to visit Thailand at the time. I recall you could get a room at the Bangkok Oriental for only $300 bucks a night. That article alone was what led me to book my first visit that year, mid-December where I opted for the Nana hotel rather than the Oriental… Spent about 3-weeks there on that first trip to BKK/Pattaya where I must have had the time of my life as I could not wait to return after getting back. However, I never saw that 56 Baht to the dollar, as when I arrived it had drifted down to about 51/52 or so as I recall. I think a Carlsberg at the time was maybe 70B in the go-go’s.

Well i tell anyone who listens about the days of 56 THB to the USD during the Asian crash and that was neigh on 30 years ago now

I remember the guys at Madrid Bar telling me “…you should a been here 20 years ago before the place got ruined…“ Now I’m that guy… met a lot great guys from back in the day, the old guard as it were… ah well…in Hua-Hin now, went to a durian farm today, went looking for wild elephants nearby…back to the suck in a few days, then back here in end of October…

32 years since my first trip. I took sand to the beach which was probably a good thing in hindsight. Who knows what could have happened. First solo trip some years later was when the journey really began 😉

True Fact

Trouble at mill... LINK Russian MP warns Putin: We’re on the brink of social collapse - A Russian MP has demanded that Vladimir Putin deliver a plan to end the war as he berated the Kremlin’s “ineffective leadership”. In his lengthy tirade, Vyacheslav Markhayev listed corruption scandals, oligarchy, losses of the “most active and reproductively capable segment of the population” and Ukrainian drone strikes among the ills plaguing wartime Russia. “The time of illusions is over. The country is on the brink of a social explosion and the blame for this will fall squarely on the entrenched ruling power,” said Markhayev, a deputy of the State Duma from Russia’s Communist Party. “If the situation persists, social unrest and chaos will become more likely,” he lamented. “The West will inevitably exploit this to destroy the remnants of Russian statehood.” The deputy joins a growing list of public figures who have broken from the official line to voice criticism of the authorities. Late last month, Renat Suleymanov, another State Duma deputy from the same party, called for the “earliest possible end” to the war, saying the economy could not “withstand” its continuation. In March, Ilya Remeslo, formerly a staunch Kremlin loyalist, suddenly turned against Putin with a scathing public denunciation which called the Russian president “a war criminal and a thief”, calling for him to be put on trial. .......

37 years for me --- chasing the one, that was different.. I met all sorts on that 1st trip, I had lunch with a Colonel of the 'ahem' (non public service) and he offered to find my girl, but I declined, with unusual foresight on my part, thinking that a lasting relationship, wouldn't be off to a good start, if uniformed fellows arrived on her doorstep... Then I found out she was the Mia Noi of some Captain somewhere ... Sigh, I'm still wistful...

Trump, 79, Honors D-Day Heroes by Praising Himself President Donald Trump marked the 82nd anniversary of D-Day by flooding social media with AI-generated images and videos celebrating himself. He launched a stream of bizarre content on Truth Social, including an AI-generated music video depicting him riding a lion, skydiving with a red parachute, mingling with adoring crowds, and sharing meals with world leaders...

There is a Washington state in the Pacific Northwest, between Oregon and Canada. That is a state. Washington D.c. (District of Colombia)is the nation’s capital…about 5 hours south of New York City…

For some reason the term Washington State sounds familiar. I stand corrected.

Oh fuck, you are right…just realized, it’s been 40 years since my first trip to the kingdom…though “…I just go for 2 weeks and get it our of my system…” well that didn’t happen…

D.C. is not a state, it is a district, some weird shit I and most Americans don’t understand, but they are not a state for governing purposes…Yes, after many months of research, I concluded that DC was indeed a very gay place… As for the fire island presence at the UFC event, the guys from Ken’s karate and sauna house said they are planning on running a buss load or train down to DC leather chaps and body glitter uniform of the day…

The Iranians arrived in Tijuana, as there is some issue with letting them into their previously scheduled camp in Arizona. No idea where they will play their matches…They arrived wearing pins with the number 168 on them, commemorating the 168 children killed by a US air strike…of course we all know there was no attack and if there was, it was the Iranians themselves and there are no dead kids, just “crises actors…”

That put a smile on my face. Iran play all their games in the US I believe. Wonder how that happened.

Wouldn't that be the ultimate sledge Is there a Fire Island presence behind this or it's just the The Dupont Circle Neighborhood. Unknown bit of trivia OH or you are probably aware of this. Washington has the highest percentage of LBQT than any U.S. state

Say it slowly but we are talking about 25 years ago now
