Well the beds themselves at Tarntawan are just basic. Beds are Crowne Plaza (yes, formerly Pan Pacific) are very comfy - especially when you have guests to share it with no construction noise despite some minor work being done at entrance area. Le Meridien is right in the heart of that area as well, comfy beds, modern rooms, but I did find them very friendly towards male guests. Female guests and their patrons did not seem to get hassled, I was hassled twice during one visit, won't stay there again. Asia Travel stories, well, let's see. I have visited Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Japan. Each very unique in culture, scenery and ambiance. I enjoy not just the night life and gay attractions, but culture and history. Japan I find the most fascinating of countries, especially visiting the countryside areas. Hong Kong, just a big concrete jungle with LOTS of people. Thailand, well we all know the many faces of Thailand. Cambodia, much like Thailand with, it seemed, more historical areas to visit. I have traveled many places in the world and the fortune to live in many cities around the globe, each has its own allure. Asia is still on my top lists of areas to visit, going to Thailand for 10 days in February for some good ole fashion R&R.

Damn it, I knew that "JoePa" was going a step too far, but did I pay myself the least bit of attention? Nick Saban = Alabama Head-Coach-For-Life (in wating) JoePa = Joseph Paterno, late Head-Coach-For-Life of Penn State football team. Scandals/boys/showers/cover-ups/criminal trials??? Come on, guys, quit yanking my chain, that's got to ring a bell !!!

I know this for sure. Many of my friends are devout Christians. But, I love the hypocrisy of those fighting against gays! My mama always said that those that yell the loudest.....

Hotel is clean, rooms well maintained. Very central location to pat pong area and boy bars. Tawan bar around the corner. Hotel is basic, staff friendly, and no issues with bringing bois back. Free breakfast usually with room rate. If your expecting the Ritz look elsewhere, if you are expecting a Holiday Inn type hotel, this is it. I prefer the Crowne Plaza Lumpini Park, but is more expensive.

I am a big movie buff and I try to see everything that comes out but I know I miss a lot. I am sure some will not have my taste in movies but I was thinking about this today and wondered if there are movies out there that others know about that I don't. So, let me start off.

Lucky, the Holiday Inn Express (new one) near the malls is great value and when I was there a few months back was less than 2,000 baht per night. The rooms were very small but it was walking distance to Siam Paragon and MBK!

ROFL You are too sweet. I thought I was the one who was drunk those evenings together! Well, what it was, was football. That should explain it. Now, had it been basketball, the one real sport here in NC as anyone knows... (My mama, an N.C. State fan, on that account expressly forbade my even giving thought to applying to UNC. It was as if I had considered converting to Catholicism.)

Thank you! I picked up a little steam when he got to the part about some guy grabbing his enormous bonus, and then the lights went out again.

Hmmm... Bama puts the whup on the ladies of Notre Dame, thereby proving the obvious: undefeated nationally does not equal one loss in the SEC guantlet. SEC shares out Bama's 1/2 the Championship big bucks and gloats over how good life is: Notre Dame pockets it's 1/2 and gloats over not having to share; everybody else grumbles from the shadows that the system needs to be fixed. Nick Sabin grabs his enormous bonus & extends his contract to 2047 recieving the right, inter alia, to name 3 members to the Uni's board of directors; the world waits impatiently for a meltdown at Tuscaloosa of 7.9 on the JoePa scale.

I love the lights around Pattaya. Here is the sign from one of the best bars in Pattaya!
