All Activity

probably he picked up all pieces before taking photo. On serious note, take closer look

Today I'm speaking with a Russian🇷🇺 accent, I find you can get discount on most things with this accent

There's a difference between recommended tip and minimum tip. Arena tells you the recommended tip, which includes sexual activity. TCS and other upmarket places advise on minimum tip -- which does NOT include sexual activity (or, at most a handjob with the masseur remaining fully dressed). TCS will not discuss sexual activity with you; it has to be privately negotiated in the room with the service provider himself.

I notice you're not even mentioning USA carriers. 🤣

@emiel1981 I've been staring at your photo of chicken & cashewnuts. I can hardly see any chicken 😆

I agree with @Moses. There are no massage shops in Pattaya, not even Paradise, where you can reliably expect a high standard of massage complemented by extra service. There may be a few places, e.g. in Terminal 21, where trained therapists work, but (a) the shop will have a strict policy against anything erotic and (b) you're almost surely going to get a woman servicing you. For the latter reason, I have never bothered to try.

Just add another personality, @Olddaddy has an entire cast....

Damn, I asked @floridarob to stay away and you had to bring that story. I think I need a new identity in this forum.

From my experience, the Asian airlines do a good job taking care of their passengers when there are unforeseen delays. I was on a Philippine Airlines flight once, transiting Manila, where the aircraft broke. The airline gave all the passengers overnight accommodation and meal vouchers in the historic five star Manila Hotel. Another time I was on a China Airlines (Taiwan) flight enroute to Thailand. Shortly after landing in Taipei, the airport closed due to an approaching typhoon. China Airlines put us up overnight in a very nice hotel in Taipei, and arranged a Chinese dinner at the hotel for all the inconvenienced passengers.

super smart and congratulation for fast thinking

The Financial Times came up with a nice headline and definition of "some good" for me. The cynical opportunities of ‘Epic Fury’ To set the bar very low, that sounds better to me than World War III. To set the bar a bit higher, it defangs Iran for a while without changing anything fundamental about a bad situation for most Iranians. But it doesn't lead to a bloodbath like when the US took out leaders in Iraq and Libya. This is what other Trump alumni like Anthony Scaramucci have been speculating about already. When it comes to Trump, cynicism is always best. In effect, Trump is saying to Venezuela, and possibly Iran: FUCK DEMOCRACY. You can be an authoritarian. As long as you are my authoritarian. Otherwise you die. Eat your heart out, Vlad. When your buddy Patriot Pete runs a very powerful military, and you have the Genocide Jew as your partner in crime, you can get lots of shit done. Whether it's good shit or not is a different question. The question already on the table is: does America want to be the world's bully? @Moses likes to bring up Hiroshima. My Dad fought in WWII, and was in the Navy near Japan. He spent the rest of his life being proud that America was the world's good cop. In his eyes. That's a different thing than being the world's bully. Although I'm sure these days most MAGA people will argue it's the same thing. My eyes are on Gavin Newsom. He has never lost an election, so far. I think he is a good politician in that he can feel where the wind is blowing. And he has a coherent set of liberal principles. As one example I care about, he was ahead of the curve on same sex marriage. Now he is ranting about how this is a war America did not want. And about how further military support to Israel, which practices genocide, is now in question in his mind. That will be a big debate in the Democratic Party. And a good one. The thing I am most hoping for is that America rejects this course. In others words, Americans don't want to be the world's bully. That will be a huge internal fight. Assuming we continue to be a democracy that has internal fights.

I agree, but I'm talking about ordinary, non ballistic, crises. If you follow the travel blogs, there are many complaints about Emirates and Qatar, who frequently loudly publicise their virtues, but, it seems, don't lift much of a finger when things go wrong. Their customer service reputation is at odds with their glitzy image.

Right now, seems like the world has an overpopulation of authoritarians, theocrats, and American wannabe Kings. Personally, I wouldn't mind if there were a few less of them. 🫢

Thank you for your kind work.

Our @vinapu has spoken about this hotel numerous times, not sure how you managed to miss this.

@jimmie50 may not like this. 😒🤷

The list of American interventions shows, what "America says" and "America does" are two quite opposite things. And shows what America has no principles: look on the table above comparing Miloshevic and Syngman Rhee.

A quick check on the Agate website shows their basic room rates dropping to 2,000 Baht on Friday and to 1,900 Baht from Saturday onwards till the end of March. You could book day by day as rates may drop further. I presume they will go up again during Songkran. Hotel Zing rooms are tiny and I personally don't care for that purple and all-white paint job but it sounds like a safe, budget-friendly option and vinapu likes their breakfasts. 😉

And Americans will still remain hungry, sick and unemployed as they fund a Democracy movement for the Iranians.... Gee, isnt America GREAT ! GOD BLESS DONALD J TRUMP .........

welcome to paradise, we are waiting for first report of fun you had there

Oh. I meant Saigon. In Da Nang I had mediocre impressions from massage, but my sampling was even smaller - just one parlor.

Should be popular with the gay guests. 😏

the same good which comes of every war , i.e. overpopulation will be reduced for a while.

Also @Latbear4blk were you talking about that time you were on the balcony and that little old lady got a show. Because I love that story. That is why I will not get a balcony view around other buildings. I would forget in the midst of trying to get the guy out of his clothes.

You will like there. No issues with joiners
