Now that's a happy meal!

Ah, at one time nearly a 2nd home...where the bars would play Bon Jovi It's My Life whenever we walked in. Dance contests...weekly Friday meetups for dinner before the festivities began...glory days. But I haven't been back since I moved back to the States in 2008. Would it be anything near the same? Certainly I'm not, now married, retired and I'm... Kinda old. Would I even fit in (both with the crowd and in the seats) A few months back I went to another haunt Soi Cowboy and it was a huge disappointment. Nobody near naked (except for that one special bar just off Cowboy) elevated drink prices, fancy lighting but no energy. Well, I'm happy and relieved to report that NEP has still got it. I only hit 3 gogos...the ones reported to be the best and they came through. Billboard...new for me. Very flashy, well lit and a crazy amount of top tier talent. Mostly covered and no shows to speak of but the place to be to find some real beauties and beers at 170baht not bad at all. More Asians than westerners at all of the bars. Spankys...this is the one. Girls not to the level of Billboard but certainly passable. All topless, fun shows and great energy. Only downside is lighting a bit too dark for my liking. Beer 200 baht Then, an old favorite.. Angel Witch...and I actually spoke with a mamasan who remembered the old Nanapong Dance Contests. Girls a level lower and a few years older.,.but well lit, good prices, topless, friendly girls and lots of shows. And these were throwback shows, darts, ping pong balls, just like the good old dirty days. Of course nothing will ever compare to the strap on DP shows circa 2000, but they are trying. Beer 180 baht. Maybe I'm not too old after all.

Thought I might relive old glories and have dinner at Gullivers Saturday night before heading over to NEP to see if it's changed in the 20 years since I've been there. Then Sunday morning I'm going to watch the NFL game with breakfast at the Game on Suk near soi 9 before grabbing a bus back to Hua Hin. Ya'll are welcome to join in any of these adventures.

Flasher and Khun Sanuk both met me for dinner when I returned for a Vaca about 7 years back. Sad that they are both gone because they were both very fine gentlemen. BTW, I am in Bkk this weekend and am free for dinner but I have to advise against seeing what happened to the last 2 guys who ate with me.

All you pacemaker guys should hook up with Gerry

I don't think we can expect the release of any files (with the possible exception of mentions of Trumps enemies) while he is still in office. Even when the house passes it, it will likely die in the senate, or he will refuse to sign it...or claim they can't be released due to an ongoing investigation. If he really wanted them released, he could do so today. It's all BS. Do not expect him to step down either. That would be admitting defeat which he never does and Vance couldn't pardon him from state crimes...some of which he already has convictions for. In the unlikely event he does step down (or at the end of his term) , expect a quick flight out of the country never to return.

I last lived here 20 years ago and just moved back. Cost of living and easy lifestyle were huge reasons (also the Russian asset currently sitting in the White House and shitting on America) We considered Jomtien and Hua Hin and decided on Hua Hin. The infrastructure is great here and you can still get all the Western things you want without the high prices that ate in other parts of the country. Bangkok and its traffic and relentless energy were never an option...although I do miss the gogos and crazy times we had there. Been here 4 months now and enjoying it...3 bedroom villa with pool (furnished with free pool service, gardening, and internet) for 23k baht a month 15 minutes from the beach is hard to beat. The bolt/grab system has made life so much easier as well. And...Bangkok is only 3 hours away...

Thanks for the replies Coss, Old Hippie, and My Penis (Nervous Dog, right?) Had some fun in Bkk. I stopped in to Soi Cowboy. Is the street narrower than I remember or have they built out? More than 4 people standing side by side and no room to move now. Walked into Midnite for old times sake and it was awful. 270 for a beer, few customers so they decended like locusts onto me, and then "mistakenly" shorted me on the change when I paid. Beautiful new stage and light system but sad all the fun was gone. I went in a few places and apart from Crazy House, not even topless dancing seen. What the fuck is that about? Should have done research on the best clubs now instead of heading to old favorites. Next time, I guess. There aren't any gogos in Hua Hin so I was excited to head back into one for the first time in many years but left disappointed. Please let me know if ya'll get to HH and I'll buy you a beer (but you'll pay)

Hey there to all the old fogies like myself. I moved back with the family to retire in Hua Hin. We are coming to Bangkok tomorrow, so if anybody is up for a drink in Soi Cowboy or a quiz night on Thursday or Friday May 8-9 please let me know.

Dee and I moved back to the states in 2007 and have visited a couple of times since then. The goal is to retire to Hua Hin in a few years

What I remember most about Woodstock Friday nights (apart from the super fun times with ya'll) were the far side cartoons pasted to the bathroom walls over the urinals. Made peeing a real pleasure. Thai resident 2001-2007

Such sad news. Marcel was the best. He came out to see Dee and I the last time we were in Bkk...a great friend and really made my time in Thailand so much better than it would have been without him. Hope everybody else is doing well.

Literally a post 10 years in the making. I remember reading this topic when it was first created in 2008. I thought the title was funny so I opened it up and quickly realized that I also wanted to bone Tussinee. And now, all these years later, through many life changes and changes in Thailand itself that this ode to Tussinee is still here...it is somehow comforting. Now I have no idea what Tussinee would look like today (or even if she is still alive) but I realize that all of us, in our own way, want to bone Tussinee. Some of us get close sometimes, while other times it may feel like Tussinee is boning us. But, in the end, my wish is that all pf you, in your own way, and in your own time, will eventually get to bone Tussinee.

Sorry to miss you too, John...let me know if you are back by late July...maybe for the dance contest in Pattaya
