other side of Sukhumvit

not much luck in 2025 as I was forced to cancel my flights twice , In Jun and in Aug and take another flights few days later

Perhaps you are too young

smart people first spent and then worry how to pay for it. I'm with Oldddady on the issue. Learned that lesson when I tried to save to buy my first car, whenever I was close , price went up. There's always chance we will be hit by bus and dying thought would be " I should go once more to Bangkok this year"

exactly how it was , the same boys , the same owner

it was , under Dreamboys

In Bangkok African enclave is around Sukhumvit soi 3

I love Hagen Dazs but only 3 traditional flavors - vanilla, strawberry and coffee. All those newish invention are over sweetened crap and this comes from me who still puts 2 teaspoons of sugar into glass of tea.

double post by mistake

TMax already answered while I was sleeping, lol It's still in operation although I don't see them on Agoda recently. Zeus massage is using them as one of 5 hotels where their personnel meets clients for outcall massages

no, absolutely not, but I kind of fail to see what Hitler crimes have to do with how former British dependencies chose their heard of state. Speaking of crimes, unfortunately history has way of forgetting those given enough time. How strong is memory in Russia of Chinggis Khan and his ilk and their conquer of most of country along with big chunk of Asia ? Alexander the Macedonian was greatest murderer of antiquity , levelling whole cities in his conquests and now almost universally we call him Alexander the Great. We admire madrassas Tamerlane built in Samarkand but who remembers how cruel ruler he was. And we can go on and on.

I have a parrot but her being battery operated she is easy to silence and doesn't leave droppings

those days all and they are selected by their own country, monarch just rubber stamps it although I'm sure has something to say behind the screen if need arises not a case for few generations already and when it was, not necessarily it clashed with citizenship rules neither Britain was considered exactly foreign country. those things evolved for more than century. Circus fort some, constitutional order for others. Circus part may come somewhere else , say Canada goes to war with Britain so military goes against country they pleaded allegiance to head of state of . It's why I suggested above that anachronism should be done with.

for wide world it means lectures about superiority of American system of governance are over . And American political class seems to be as prone to yield to strongman as ones in North Korea, Russia, Cameroon or Nicaragua

no, only bit cynical , but at end of day you may be actually very correct

keep in mind that this sad situation may be result of fact of divorce , not fact that father was gay. I had a friend , since dead, who, when he was teenager, after father left family for whatever reason did exactly the same - voluntarily forgot about his existence and stuck to his guns till day of his tragic death in climbing accident.

sounds catchy but I wonder if he really means it.

# me too. I'm good with parents and siblings being unelected but those are only exceptions I can think of. Specially in places where Head of State wields real power like USA of France they should be elected with term limits - it's the best thing America ever invented, too bad it doesn't apply to members of Congress. China one day will regret they removed term limits for Xi Even in countries where elections are clearly sham, they serve purpose of reminder that theoretically power can be changed by way of popular vote , no matter how theoretical. Monarchies may have their unifying use when monarch stays above the fray but clearly fact that British monarch is nominally Head of State of countries with less and less ties with UK any decade like Australia or Canada is anachronism and most elegant way of ending it would be for new monarch to abdicate from that part of his duties once and for good.

and I presume he is still dead

my last boss is married to a guy who divorced his wife when their daughter reached adulthood

reminded me boy I asked in the morning if he managed to catch some sleep. his answer was " no, but you not paying me to sleep"

problem with wars is that rarely they go according to the scripts and scenarios. I doubt Soviets and Americans envisioned they will be tangled in Afghanistan and Vietnam respectively that long, never mind losing , when they started their adventures. First world war would never started if all those emperors envisioned what will happen to their countries , thrones and in some cases , heads.

If I find flying economy to tiring I will just stop. No way I'd be willing to pay extra for dubious ( for me) benefits of premium economy or , God forbid , business class. Breaking trip somewhere mid way is great idea and I did it few times. Costs more but brings benefits of seeing some new places. Last year Munich stopover gave me opportunity to get to the peak of Zugspitze- Germany's highest mountain. This year one in Madrid afforded me to see Prado and Cordoba on my way there and Toledo on way back. I wouldn't break my trip just to have good night sleep in hotel yet but can envision doing it in the future. I had 2 such stopovers involuntarily because late aircraft missing connection , in Tokyo and Shanghai and liked it quite a lot.

If price was right I wouldn't mind to stand on short haul flights like Munich -Prague or Bangkok-Phnom Penh. Sydney - London is different matter

add Jupiter . Moonlight and perhaps Dreamboys as well as Hot Male and jackpot may be hit
