The gentleman was what might be termed, "one of a kind".

Yes, FH he was an American of renown and was in correspondence with Queen Victoria.

Can any of your astute gentlemen identify this man pictured below? Upon his death, 30,000 citizens of his nation lined the streets as his funeral cortege, stretching for 3 km, passed by. Try to be discrete in your replies if you really know his identity.

Thanks anonone. As mentioned early in a post, you can go to TelWhiz at places like Tukcom/Pattaya and extend the expiration for one year for a modest amount. Can't recall but a few hundred Baht??

Can you provide clarification? By Call do you mean that after entering the numbers/symbols are you to then press the Call/Send button? Or are you to enter the letters Call along with the numbers? Secondly is the charge then deducted from the balance in your account? My cell phone is now in Thailand and I am not. So I will ask a friend to attempt to do this.

I do try to sort but the notes still look the same to me maybe because of lighting conditions? No not color blind.

Before leaving Thailand you can go to TelWhiz, there is one at Tukcom in Pattaya, and, for a modest charge,can extend expiration date for one year.

Assuperman you have a unique command of the English language!

Davint, you may want to look for Love of Siam a Thai movie. You can google for more info but very popular romantic cinema.

Please Scotty, don't try to snow me!

Wow! I hope my bf saw that. He always wanted to see snow. How could such a thing happen in Thailand?

Ok,so which one is you and which one is he???

Very funny post Assuperman. In American English "hooking" means the same as prostituting. A "hooker" is slang for prostitute. You naughty boy.

A similar post appeared on Gaybutton Forum but no name mentioned. In memoriam of a thai friend. Postby scandinavianboy » Fri Mar 29, 2013 4:40 pm Today is the birthday of a dear friend who would have been 28 years old today. In the end of October in 2011 he started to feel discomfort in his chest and after a few weeks also in the stomach making it difficult to eat. He went to at least three doctors, both in Pattaya and in his hometown, but none of them could figure out what was wrong with him, but gave him tablets for muscle pain and gastritis that didn´t help. In the end of December his friends took him to hospital in Pattaya where they very soon found out that he had tuberculosis. He had now a swollen stomach due to inflammation and difficult with breathing and was referred to a larger hospital in Bangkok. After continued medical investigations he started with anti-tuberculosis medication, a treatment that would take at least 6-12 months. In Thailand tuberculosis is most often of the multidrug-resistant type which can make the disease very difficult to cure. In spite of that fact, he was in a much better mode emotionally now when he knew what was wrong and we both looked upon a near future where he was cured and healthy again. However happiness was short, since he just a few months after he started treatment got complications from continuous spreading of the disease to the nervous system, making him have epileptic seizures and inability to talk. The last time I ever talked with him was in the beginning of April, and his last words on the phone to me were "I´m fine". A few weeks later I visited him in a hospital in his home town and he was now in a really bad shape. When he finally died, 27 years old, it was a relief for me, because there had never been any way back since the start of the neurologic deterioration, and the last weeks of his life was no life at all. Sometimes it´s easy to forget that we are visiting a country with a different panorama of diseases, where for example many of the boys have encountered tuberculosis at an early age which makes it a risk for coming back later in life, especially if they have their immune system affected. It´s also easy to forget that there are more things going on in some boys´ lives than just the beach and the bars.

FH,in revenge for your Senior Quiz, Koko is working on a WWII Photo Quiz which might intrigue Christian and one other poster on this forum.

Maybe the CIA could substitute it for water boarding?

When I asked for a replacement ATM at Kasikorn they screwed me out of 500 Baht for some sort of so called accident insurance. Just a scam. This was at Central Festival. Just be aware if they try it on you. Otherwise a good bank.

Christian, as Devint would say, you are a "dirty boy"!

kee gong = cheating

Ahem, but I think you answered your own question; yes message boards are very addictive. When I am away from Thailand I find myself frequenting all of the gay message boards much more than when in Thailand. Just bored I suppose. But I do enjoy reading the thoughts and opinion of others although there are some posters who are truly obnoxious and not worth reading.

To all our cat lovers, I do apologize for my above comment regarding our feline friends.

Oh, it's all in jest. Everyone knows that a dead pussy is a good pussy.

NIrishguy; you do make an excellent presentation and I agree they are a little bit nuts. Having said that, I congratulate on one of the longest sentence I have ever seen written on this forum.
