Here's Jim from Singapore recent video from a couple of months ago for reference. My FlightRadar app had him staying at The Pullman on SiLom Road midweek!

It's all the business meetings with commercial property agents and owners selling their bars in and around Jomtien.

I find it's a useful tool to cross reference against Grindr, clarity of their name, plus alternative photos.

Would also suggest ThaiFriendly.

Living out here as a kid, then always in and out of the pool all day long, never wore Sun tan lotion, despite the looks of someone of the Ayran race, and never got burnt. My dad on the other hand, used coconut oil and was, to coin an old British saying, as black as the ace of spades. However, noticed in my 20's taking European holidays, ie 2 weeks of as much sun as possible, then did get burnt, so started to use the old SPF 8 or 15 on the face. Only time I got seriously burnt was on my feet, as they were covered in sand, so assumed they were protected, couldn't walk for 3 days! Did some research into SPF's at the time (1980's), and longevity was based on 15 minutes, so SPF 8 was rated to protect for 2 hours. So came up with the theory of total exposure for 15 minutes, then spent the rest of the day under cover. Always got a good tan after the 2 weeks. Also added a good smothering of moisturiser to the face at the end of the day. Looking at the ingredients of today's Sun tan lotions, they contain half the contents of a pharmacist's laboratory. So wouldn't use them. Nowadays, adopted the Aussi mantra of "Slip,Slop,Slap", although without the Slop.

Immediately thought of this, for those old enough to remember:-

You'll have to walk further, and cross the road.

With your ex BBC hat on, you could don your John Motson sheepskin coat and stream a running commentary!

Or perform the famous @vinapu tuck.

You might have a problem with point 2:-

Australians have a habit of getting flight durations wrong, remember years ago pulling Jimmy Barnes of Cold Chisel up over the lyrics to Khe Sanh, their early 1980's Top-40 hit, where he wrote:- Well, the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone And only seven flying hours, I'll be landing in Hong Kong Today it takes 09:40 hours. Jimmy's reply was "it rhymes better"!

Current stats have 1.2%* of the male population of Australia as showing symptoms of dementia, knowing @Olddaddy is such a unique individual, I wonder if he falls into this category or is his own special case? * = Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2023 report.

As you're heading down to Jomtien, then recommend Barmony Jazz & Resturant down at Na Jomtien. https://maps.app.goo.gl/3MgzGsY7L1wYRMB78

For those Brits that want a reminder:- I woke up the next morning after a somewhat large curry & lager session to find a large branch in my living room.

I was hoping to sell tickets.
