I haven't tried New York Pizza yet, but for me in Pattaya, so far the best pan pizza is at Pastrami on Rye. The two thin crust pizzas I like best are at Mimosa and Toto. There are also several mom-and-pop pizza places scattered around town, including on "The Dark Side," but I've never tried any of them.

That has been my observation too. The only change I've seen has been the subdued music volume. However the 30-day mourning period is just about over and the music volume will likely be ratcheted up again. Other than that, I've seen no changes at all.

If you're right, then I guess they don't believe in Email attachments, fax machines, or simply entering into their computer system which branch is holding the paper with the actual signature. Apparently they're not happy unless they have the original and it's held in the same bank where the other originals are stored - assuming they're actually kept there in the first place. Oh well, whether you're right about the reason or not, it doesn't really matter. That's how it's done. So, to avoid problems, if you have a new passport just go to the bank branch where you first opened your account.

I didn't know I had to do it at all. I had made several transactions at the bank after receiving my new passport. The branch I usually go to didn't exist at the time I first opened my account, but it's much closer to where I live. They know me there. No transaction problems at all. It was when my bank passbook had become full and they needed to issue a new passbook - that's when they wouldn't do it until I had gone to the branch where I had opened my account and changed the passport number. I still have no idea why it had to be that particular branch. I'm just glad I wasn't out of town somewhere.

I recently renewed my passport. Some banks make you return to the branch where you originally opened your account to change your passport number. Bangkok Bank did that with me. I was at a different branch, but they told me I have to return to the original branch. Don't go to a teller window. Go to one of the bank officer desks. Bring your real passport with you. They will fill out a form with your new passport number, have you sign it, and then enter it into their computer. Now all of their bank branches will have your new passport number on their computers. I have no idea why they can't make the number change at just any branch, but that's the way it worked for me at Bangkok Bank.

The I will correct you. I did not say 0.0001. I said 0.001. If you want to correct me, correct me correctly . . .

I'm not worried about it, but I'm interested. According to the news, two electors from Washington state said if Hillary Clinton wins, they are not going to cast their vote for her. The did not say who they intend to vote for instead or whether they will cast a vote at all. I'm curious to see if they really do that. It has happened, and has happened many times. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector

Yes. Isn't that just terrible? Meanwhile, at the time of this post the "Trump Supporters" topic now has 9758 views and is 42 pages long. I'd say somebody is interested. The US Presidential election has everything to do with Thailand. What do you think will happen to gay rights in the USA if Trump is elected? If you think the way gay rights are handled in the USA have no influence over gay rights and attitudes toward gays in other countries, including Thailand, I suggest thinking again. The USA, Thailand, and other countries could end up resembling what was taking place in the UK in the days before the Turing law if Trump and his supporters get the chance to turn the clock back. That could easily happen under President Trump. I would hope you're much too intelligent not to see that. Seems to me a few posters on this board prefer to discuss much more important subjects - such as meatloaf night . . .

The organizer has already told me DThump will be perfectly welcome to come if he wants to. Remember, folks - if unnecessary and uncalled for comments and trouble is going to start yet again, this time on this topic, it's not me who's starting it.

You asked how to get an invite and I explained it, along with explaining why it's done by invitation. I also made the effort for you to contact the person who makes the arrangements so that he could contact you and invite you. And instead of maybe a quick 'thanks,' this is the response I get? You're welcome . . .

Huh . . . ? What's the drama part?

I won't post anyone's personal information, but I have contacted and notified the person who arranges the meatloaf nights and hopefully he'll contact you. Meanwhile, the meatloaf night is every Thursday at 7:00pm. If you'd like to go tonight, but if he has not contacted you in time, my suggestion is to just go. You won't have any problem at all spotting the group. The reason the group asks for a RSVP is so that Mario, the owner, knows how many people to cook for. All of the boys and, of course, Mario, knows who heads the group. If there is enough food, and chances are very good there will be, I'm certain you will be warmly welcomed to join. By the way, for those for whom I am not exactly their favorite person, don't worry. I will not be there.

The only trolls making threats are you fine people. Gee, you're scaring me to death. I have made none, unless of course you believe you would feel threatened by merely talking to me directly instead of hiding behind internet anonymity. And those of you who feel that poor old Fossilgay is being mercilessly attacked by me, take a look at his posts. Check how many unprovoked personal attacks he directed toward me, most of which I ignored. Any remarks I made about him were in response to unprovoked attacks, not that I give a shit about anything he has to say - or any of you for that matter. So, troll away. I have nothing more to say to any of you - until you have the guts to talk to me personally, which none of you cowards will ever do. Again, I was there. Not a single one of you had the courage to confront me. But you're great at troll posting. Well, actually not great at all - just lame. Bye bye . . .

Confront me personally and ask.

Not one of the internet heroes showed up. I was there, just as I said I would be. I also intentionally said nothing about what my intentions were if anyone actually did have the guts to show. I knew none would. I knew it before you knew it. I see a set of posts now full of put downs, insults and assumptions. If any of you did show up, you know what would have happened? I would have asked you to sit down. I would have bought the first drink. And I would have listened to you tell me what your problems with me are. I would not have gotten angry, would not have lost my temper, would not have had a heated argument, or anything else ridiculous. I would have listened and talked about it - you know, like adults do, and maybe paid attention to your point of view. But noooooo. You see the same posts above that I'm seeing. Nothing but more insult and put down attempts - coming from people who think like a 14 year old. That's why there is no credibility to any of them and why I couldn't care less what any of the trolls think.

If you've got the guts, I'll be there.

Am I supposed to be interested in your 'advice'?

I'm sorry to see the Prozac has failed to help you yet. Don't worry. Given enough time, eventually maybe it will. I'll be at Elephant Plaza Monday night. Drop by, identify yourself, and make some of your comments face-to-face instead of hiding behind internet anonymity like a true coward.

If you're looking for something formal, there are two expats clubs in Pattaya: Pattaya City Expats Club: http://www.pattayacityexpatsclub.com Pattaya Expats Club: http://www.pattayaexpatsclub.info Neither is necessarily gay, but many gays belong to both. If you're looking for a group of gays that are not really a club, but get together consistently - virtually nightly, go to the Elephant Plaza bar in Sunee Plaza around 8:30pm. Ask for Bud. All the boys know Bud. It's a small group, but very friendly and you'll get the best advice from that group. I'm part of it, but I'm not there very often. If I'm there, it is most likely going to be a Monday or Tuesday evening. They have a meatloaf dinner there every Thursday, usually attended by 14-20 gay expats. You will be perfectly welcome. In my opinion, in Pattaya that's the best place to start and the best and most knowledgeable people to start with. If you want to have a look at my board, see: http://www.gaybuttonthai.com I would suggest starting by renting a condo rather than a house. Plenty of condos for rent are available in the city, where you're most likely to want to be to get started. Condos are usually available long term or monthly. Once you get established, get to know the area, and get to know where you want to be, get to know people, and get to know who to get advice from, that's when to start looking for a house.

Have you thought of getting psychiatric help? Your posts make it obvious you're in desperate need of it.

For those interested in buying such attire, here is a copy of a post I made on the Sawatdee board in January, 2015: __________________________ I know of a place other than Silom in Bangkok too, in the Platinum Fashion Mall, directly across from the more commonly known Pratum Market on Petchaburi Road. They have two shops in the Platinum Fashion Mall. I have their business card: Lucky Underwear - Wholesale and retail Room 1189-1190, Camden10, 4th floor Room 873, Nathan10, 3rd Floor Mobile: 089 822 3355 Shop: 02 121 9559 A young gentleman took me there when he wanted a few items for himself. They have a good, inexpensive selection and the quality is good. Also ask to see some items that are not on display. They have plenty. They'll bring out bags filled with all kinds of variations. I definitely enjoyed the young gentleman's 'fashion show' a little later . . . I also bought several items to bring back to Pattaya. You might be surprised at how many boys love wearing them and providing their own 'fashion show' for you, especially if you let them keep their favorite one for themselves. The shopping mall is huge, but with the above information it should be relatively easy to find the shops. If you can't find them, just show the room number and section name (Camden10) at another shop. They'll direct you. If that doesn't work, call them. Tell them you're at the escalator. They'll send somebody over to take you to the shop. When I was there, a couple of the sales girls spoke fairly decent English, certainly enough for you to easily communicate just what you're looking for. There are no such shops in the Pratum Market.

Definitely make a reservation. Not only that, believe me you'll need to make the reservation several days in advance to be able to get in. Telephone: 083 029 7598 See also: http://www.smokinpugbbq.com -and- http://www.facebook.com/smokinpug

I know a solution to that. Drink less. I'm not much of a drinker either, but you can always stick to soft drinks or fruit juices rather than alcoholic drinks.

Me too. Maybe the non-slutty types are the best kind, but when I'm going out for 'fun,' I'm looking for the worst kind.

And inappropriate for any generation. If anyone wants to see public fucking, look for a pair of soi dogs.
