Coss Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Whilst in Sukhumvit, my hostelry, on the room’s televisual extravaganza, showed me entertainment of bulls fighting (each other not matadors) and cock fighting. I thought I’d been transported back to the dark ages. * note: Stable Lodge Hotel, no have laundry service, go up road, otherwise still good.

Mekong Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Not even Thais watch Thai TV anymore except for those mind numbing soaps which fortunately my wife also hates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no laundry service at Stable lodge, the massage shop up on the left as you head towards Sukhumvit, before the 7/11 is your place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I'm a lover not a fighter! Hang on that's sounds incredibly incriminating 😳 Rooster fighting is huge in the Philippines with a big online betting industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on that's sounds incredibly incriminating 😳 Rooster fighting is huge in the Philippines with a big online betting industry. When last in the PI, I stayed at the home of a well known breeder in Visaya. Several Pinoy coworkers are really into this and breed roosters here and occasionally attend events. Yes, the betting is intense. When we went to a fight at the aforementioned place, I got to throw out a rooster as a guest of hormone…some guy kept yelling “…Joe, Joe…” and giving me a sideways peace sign with his fingers (sounds gay I know) which was apparently a bet…he lost and ran off, I was willing to let it go, but those running the show, my host among them, said “…no way, we don’t run that kind of show…” and went after him…I got my money, about $50used and they got their cut and that guy was supposedly banned for a month…I recall betting on the May Thai fights in the old Lumpini and Rajadamdern, and Samrong etc…a lot of fun if you keep it small and pay up.

Perv Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I pay under $10usd for Netflix, which I feel is cheap but I pay almost $60usd for the lowest level of internet. No lube at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Netflix is 169 THB so about $5.00 per month Internet is 600Mbps up and down, unlimited Data 490 THB about $15 per month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 While you don't travel much anymore Mr Mekong if you subscribe to a Thai account and travel overseas you can use it overseas at that lower rate. Same goes for Google services like photo storage. Advantage being you can live somewhere else but pay Thai prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
