1. Never. 2. Time of pension. 3. Physical ability to travel. 4. Financial. 5. Changing priorities of age. What the chaps all agreed was the great memories LOS had delivered. I suppose as we age,the energy of youth and physical attraction slowly changes. It may never be a complete change,however, change it does. 

…from a personal perspective,having lost a close travel buddie to Covid,who travelled with me,from the early 2000’s through Thailand, I do think twice before making travel plans. 
However, travel starts again in 2023,without my travel mate,and I look forward to a cold pint on a beach in Rawai,the three hour massage in the hot spa just inland from same beach,and the countless nights meeting and being ‘hosted’ by those delightful ladies whom never seem to stop with those lady drinks. 
So I’ll return - by myself ✌️.

Amazing how prescient the Middle Ages' thinkers were.

It appears you are in the Bangkok area?

How about we inform the BMs of a meet up? You name the day, time and place and we will see.

Last meet up was across from The Tavern, soi Nana when Hugh Hoy was in town.

He gave me the green light for a 100 days holiday in SOA in winter.

I arrive in Bangkok approximately 28 December and the return flight is approximately 3 April 2019.

That is about 205 days to wait, then I'll be back again in the sun and the warmth and play a trick on the Teutonic winter.

The girlies of Nep and Pattaya are waiting for me.

I got a message from Itsmedave saying he'd be in town July 4th-9th and again from the 15th to the 26th. He'd like to meet some of the 'old gang'.

So, anyone up for dinner on one of those days?

Friday July 6th seems like a good choice to me.

Are these meetings going on these days?

However, I feel the planets a going to be aligned for a few options in early 2018.

End of Jan, Feb and March seem good.

I fix the employees salaries, then bugger of for some R&R.

Not many of the old school (skool) left, these days so why not ?

I favour Jan or Feb.

Can we arrange for a meet up?

Ideas???

He has a great little pub/restaurant on the "walking street" of Nong Kai.

I stayed as a hotel just kitty-corner from his pub, Jing Joe Pizza.

He is usually closed on Saturdays, so it was just a one day visit.

His profile on facebook shows his previous location, on the river, which he moved from about one year ago.

The phone number is still correct so if you get up that way, pop in for a chat.

The Friendship bridge is there and is an easy commute to Laos.

Maybe NNB? Cactus is still out and kicking about...

I'm in Surrey / Hampshire but can make London with minimal notice.

It would be good to see if anyone is still left or any newcomers fancy the idea ?

Two days ago I bought spontaneously a second ticket to Bangkok.

The summer is over, the weather is getting worse and the rain increases. The temperatures drop and it is uncomfortable, wet and cold; the days are becoming shorter and the nights longer and colder.

The fall takes the lead.

So why should I stay here in ugly, rainy, cold Deutschland? Leave the miserable vale of tears.

Go Siam, go Laos, go SEA, go to the sun, the warmth and the sunshine, go for good humor, good mood, go for the girls hahahahahaha

1. The first part of my long-term stay in this season:

I'll stay in SEA for two months.

I'll arrive on Friday October 2, 2015 and will again leave Siam on 2 December 2015.

In December I am at home with my family, friends, acquaintances. Christmas time is for us very important. Good old Charly must be at home surrounded by his family.

2. The second part of my long-term stay in this season:

I'll arrvive in Krung Thep on 5. of January 2016.

I'll stay in SEA for 3 months.

Check Out is on 4 April 2016^th.

I hope that I meet some guys from this board either in Bangkok or Pattaya.

That would be fine.

The first days of October - 2 - 5 October - I am in my magic garden - the Nana Plaza - in the evening.

I start the evening in the Lucky Luke bar.

PM me or email.
