You can't go wrong with The Wine Cellar, aka Poseidon Hotel in the Complex. For Mexican, then the one in the Complex (Buenos Mexico), or a short Bolt / Songthaew is Mike's Mexican. For posh Thai, then May's on Trepprasit Road. Good hearty Italian, then recommend Salotto, on Trappraya Road. Just up from Tinnies Pies, which is a ripper for Aussi tucker. For French, then either Nathan's or Lupins. If you Bolt it over to Pattaya, then La Bordeaux behind Tukcom is worth the journey, about 120THB for the ride, phone ahead if you want the lobster. Also in Pattaya, across the road at the front of Tukcom is Zaab High, which is an Isan resturant. Great food and fantastic price. Careful if you ask for it hot!! For English pub group, then Hemmingways, just outside the Complex on your left on Trappraya Road. For Thai, then CoqTails restaurant at the back of CoqTails bar. Enjoy.

Interesting the flood story also appears in Aboriginal stories, as well as the original people's of the Canary Islands, ie pre Spanish.

One for the Brits, (of a certain age). Couldn't find a picture of @Olddaddy, but found this of Big Daddy taking down Giant Haystacks back in '84. Them were the days... Where size matters!

Bloody size queen.

As a suggestion, not sure if you frequent Midnight Bar, which is a couple of units down from Pink Panther; heading towards the 7 star Michelin food emporium, but speak with the boys there as they'll know of anyone who drops in for a drink from PP.

Expanding on your Songkran trivia fact, statisticaly in the UK, the 26th September is recorded as the date having the most births across the year. Interestingly, Nicholas and Noel aren't the 2 most popular boys names choosen.

For those up for it, then the 19th is this year's Jomtien Complex day / night. If you ever needed a reminder of last year's shebang, then:-

Couldn't agree more, that's why I'm LHR bound on the 14th.

Agree a full bodied red would overshadow the subtleties of fish, however a Beaujolais Nouveau being a versatile little number goes well with charcuterie, poached / cold smoked salmon and the classic pepperoni pizza. As for carpets, the Wetherspoons experience is one to experience if you haven't already.

Apologies, can't find the earlier posting re new bar opening in Jomtien Complex. Hence the new pictures. This just dropped on the Supertown Gay FB group. It's situated next to CockA2. FB link = https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DEBhg3VFo/

Was in Macau last October and flying out of Hong Kong. Noticed they had an airport link, thinking it was just a normal type bus service. Was totally impressed at the end, that checking in for the bus in Macau was a full airport style check in, passport, ticket and luggage. Bus transfer is technically 'Airside' transfer. Transfer was about 1.5 hours at HK$140, so about £14:00.

For a plate of Thai posh nosh, then May's in Jomtien is worth a visit. Bit pricey, great decor and ambience, portions big.

Memory serves, there is no 'Airside' transfer between any of the London airports, so if connecting flight is LGW and you land at LHR, you need to pass through security/immigration with your bags and take the shuttle bus/taxi/train between the 2 airports. So yes, if on a non UK passport you'll need an ETA, and £16:00 for the privilege of inconvenience. Welcome to the UK!

Aye!, yer wee numpty, yer nocht but a Southern Fairy. Zac is always there early evening till about 23:00. Obviously doing a good job, as it's their 11th birthday on the 10th April.
