Today I used the airport for leaving Thailand. I found it beautiful and spacy. I found the walk from the immigration to the gates for departure a LONG haul. I am not sure why they make you walk through all those shops. They even had shops I love. Since I was early, I had to look inside. Then, I spent all my money. Don't they know that people leaving Thailand don't have a lot of excess cash and to put nice stores there is like feeding an addiction? Anyway, the walk was hell. The boarding was fast and reliable. They did not allow for any liquids and even took my chap stick. I had a bottle of perfume and they wanted to take it too but I sprayed it on me and showed them how good it smelled and they let me keep it. Nice. All my bags were together and made it on the plane and everything was very smooth for me.

Again your defination of a bf. I much prefer e-mails and IM and text to phone calls. To each his own. Some of you don't get that because people don't agree with your view, don't have the same or better relationship. Enjoy your phone calls. I'll enjoy my texts and e-mails.

Hold. Don't let out until till you feel the niceness set it. When I return to Thailand, I'll take you if you are interested. However, an event like that might be over the top for you.

We all can be wrong on occassion. Just because the ones who race for money don't show up at Pattaya Bike Week doesn't mean they aren't willing to show up for some hard cash. I stand by my numbers. I didn't give the frequency but I am told twice per month. I've been there. I've seen it. I watched. It simply does happen.

Perhaps my eyes deceived me. I was once told believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. I am getting old so I'll go have my eyes checked. Having one BF who has a high powered modified bike and going with him in the past, I think that perhaps he was just lying to me and called out all of his friends to play mind games with me. Worst things have happened.

I have been eating breakfast at a very popular breakfast place in Jomptien for 8 months. I love the food there and usually only get the same 3 or 4 dishes. I am friendly with the waiters and always leave a tip. The owner is normally there in the AM and I say hello to him although I don

GoneFishing wrote in another thread that often the boys don't have the option not to go with a customer. I am wondering if that is something that many have experienced. I have never had a boy say no to me. However, I have talked to many boys who refuse to go with clients who are other ethnicities, or have a bad reputation or a number of other reasons. I have been told by the boys I asked and they all said it was "up to boy." I do hope this is the case but do others know of bars that don't allow it to be "up to boy."

I like to get in touch with my BF about once a week to make sure all is ok and they are doing well. For the ones that have internet access easy I prefer that. I also like IM. Most Thais I know have MSN or Yahoo. But, all Thai boys have a cell phone. I find that there are many programs that work with the computer to send SMS anywhere I am at. I use one program for the Mac. It sends up to 160 characters per message and when someone replies, I can choose either the cell phone of the country I am in or a response to an e-mail. I know there are many programs out there but I really like: http://www.smsmac.com Any other suggestions on how to keep in touch?

I heard many making plans yesterday to be somewhere. I wish I were going to be in town as I know where the best dinner in Pattaya will be and it ain't at a business, it is in a condo with one of the best cooks in Pattaya.

Personally, I would love one of that wall spaces.

This great event was held 2 nights ago in Soi Sunee. A live band with dancers and tons of food. The place was packed and you could hear the music for blocks. I spoke to several bar owners and they all said that they were packed all night with the street traffic the party brought in. Perhaps LouLou needs to have a Birthday every week. I have one ladyboy on Soi 6 that calls me about every 2-3 months and tells me it is her birthday so perhaps LouLou could do the same?

Often in Banglamung on the weekends, you will find some of the roads closed for motorcycle racing. The guys get out their modified bikes and race to their hearts content. Accidents happen. Often there are over 500 of these modified bikes in attendance. As typical, most of the Thais enjoy a wager and these guys are no exception. You can have a race and bet cold hard cash, pink slips to the bike or your girl. I asked my friend why on earth they would bet their girl and was told that often the ladies liked going with the winner. All in all a strange concept to me but it looks like a bit of Hong Kong racing has made its way to the area.

I was heading home on the motorcycle last night and was on Thepassit Road. I saw a huge outdoor movie screen. They had some motorcycles out there like a drive in but also many huts and what looked like a restaurant severing food on the grounds. A Jackie Chan martial arts film was playing on the screen. It was quiet fun to watch. I stopped on the street a bit to catch a scene and moved on. If I were here for longer, I would go back and check out what the deal is with the place. Anyone else been there or seen it?

my thread is just a light hearted commentary on the lack >of posts here given the large number of professed members of >the site. LOL Well, just remembe that the number of members are those with registered and verified e-mails. I would say the majority never look at this message board? Why do they register? They can't view the larger photos without it. Do you think we will hit 10k before year's end?

I know how you feel with this and I agree with your statements. I also know that many boys have regulars that really do pay their bills and they don't want to offend the one or two guys that are being overly generous to them. I have boys in a few bars that I know will go with me no matter who walked into the bar. Why? I have offed them a hundred times over the years and always been very generous and kind. When rent is due, I help., When mama have surgery I help. I don't want the boy as a boyfriend but I do like to spend time on occasion with him and he knows that he had much rather have a easy night with me rather than an unpredictable night with a stranger.

I zm always a little skeptial of new things I have not used in the past. I signed up for epassporte.com and moneybookers recently. I may try this one as well. Adult webmasters are always coming up with new ways to get money. When Paypal was really wonderful, that is how everyone was paid. Now, epassporte seems to be the big guy.

>Nonetheless, the pics were fascinating. Did you know that over >4000 of the new members signed up right there in oz's >apartment in Bangkok? Lucky, I have not had a party for that many in months. The holidays season is coming and I just finished a movie about Martha Stewart. She gave me some amazing ideas. Perhaps I'll have a big party and if so, just wait till you see how many sign up.

>It puts you in good stead and >highlights your dedication to social intercourse. My dear TY, I have always said that intercourse is the most important thing; whether social or another form.

My dear GayButton, that is just too easy. This is Thailand.

So, you are the MF that took him? Damm you Rainwalker. I had been looking for him for months. I do think the bar is in bad taste in doing this. I had that happen to me one time and I politely called the manager over and said I was having drinks with the boy and if the manager wanted to pick up my entire bin then the boy could go sit elsewhere and I would leave. It is not that I was going to off the boy but I don't think a boy should be offed when he has sat down with someone else. That is very bad poor judgment for the bar. I will say that the ONLY bar that I go to that the mamasans seem genuinely interested in all the boys getting offed and working is Jimm Jimmy James. They really do want the boys to go off and work and are very happy if every boy on stage is off for the night. There are other bars that get upset when their prime boys get off as it takes away from the show or the ambiance and more importantly the number of drinks they sell. I had a drink with a boy last year and told the mamasan that I wanted to off him. She said he was already off. I politely got his drink tab and gave to her and said then, this is for you. If there are not there for work and able to be offed they should not be paraded on stage. After a discussion with the owner, he came back and said he could be offed. I kept him for a few days and had a great time with him. But, the guy who wanted to off him that night turns out to be his current BF to this day. It really is a small world we live in.

I had a little tour of the new airport today. I can honestly say it was simply beautiful. They did a great job with the aesthetics of the place. If you have not see the photos that Boxer took, you need to go to his site and see. It is really a much needed improvement and a shining star in Asia. I do wonder if the other star will be built? (No, I'm not talking about a shrine to LMTU's black book) You know the 90something story star? Any news on that?

In order to take any dog out of the Kingdom, you must have an Export License. It is easy to get as long as you follow all the guidelines below. An Export License is required even if your dog or cat has been into and out of the country many times. I take my dogs with me when I travel and I must get this every time I leave LOS. 1. You must take the animal to the Animal Control Center at the New Airport. It is located in the Free Zone. If you are entering the airport it will be a group of buildings on your right and most of them say customs or Duty Free. If you are leaving the airport, it will be on your left. It is called the Free Zone. 2. Once you enter the Free Zone, you do not take the left into the parking lot. Keep going straight until your car passes the beginning of the first building. At the front of this building, you will see steps that go up to the Animal Control Center. There is no large sign on that is visible but it is there if you get out and look for a small 8x11 piece of paper with the name. 3. Once inside, you will need to bring your animal, a copy of your passport and a copy of all relevant shots and etc. You must take these copies as they will not make them for you. Once inside, you need to present all that to the lady at the desk. You will also need to know your flight number and day of departure. Once she has taken a look at all your info to see it is in order, she will help you fill out an application and enter it into the computer and then hand off to someone else to check. 4. You will then see a Veterinarian. The Vet will check the temp of the animal and check its health. He will ask the age, sex, etc. He writes down all this info on papers and then you must sign off on it. He will also take a photo of you with the animal, 5. All of the paperwork from the vet is then given to the Checker. He checks all the shots, papers, etc and goes over them in GREAT detail to make sure all is right. I went the first time and the name of the breed was misspelled and we had to get a fax from our Vet. EVERYTHING must be perfect and in order. 6. This is then presented to the Stamper who puts seals on it all and sings off on it. 7. You are then given an Export License and asked to pay 50 baht per animal to the cashier. I cannot stress enough the importance of having ALL the paperwork in order and filled out perfectly. If any of the 6 people who check the paperwork has any questions, your entire day will be filled up with other work. The new facility is much nicer than the older one. It looks to be all computerized and networked. It was a vast improvement over the last one. On NWA, your pets can travel with you in the cabin. If you have only one, it is easily done. If you have more, you have to buy a second seat. Each airline has different rules. If I travel with 3 dogs, I can take one as my guest, purchase a ticket for the second dog and then the third dog goes as a guest of the second dog. Or, you can place them in the baggage area which is safe as well. The best site to look at for this is: http://www.pettravel.com/ If you are going to the states, it is easy to get the dog in as long as they have the recent shots. Unless going to Hawaii which I am told has a quarantine for all animals for 6 weeks. If you are going anywhere in the EU you must have a microchip as well as all the paperwork translated into each language of each country you stop. All of this is a pain but the chips are making things so much easier for animal travel. I hope this helps.

I thought Rainy season had ended. I have spent a part of every day watering my garden. However, the last 2 days, gushers of rain have plummeted Pattaya. It was hard and heavy. It was helpful to have all the water for the grass and flowers but it spoiled the days at the beach. I am sure the Rain will be gone soon but I quite enjoy the rest from the flower garden.
