It certainly got off to a rowdy start for me, at the beginning of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Soi&lt;/span&gt; there was a crowd of Middle Eastern youths having a loud a rambunctious time.&lt;br /&gt;It did not matter who you were-you got soaked. I noted that they seemed to go after the young Thai females, to the point of running after them if they were going in the opposite direction. I must confess I got quite pissed off when I drove past with my bike loaded with supplies after shopping. I signaled to the revellers that had I food and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;perishables&lt;/span&gt; on the bike and most of them held off but as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;usual&lt;/span&gt; there was ape in the crowd and he threw a bucket of water in my face. I drove the bike up to the guesthouse with murder in my heart, fully intending to find a brick and go back and attack the idiot.&lt;br /&gt;As I arrive at the guesthouse an old lady &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;across&lt;/span&gt; the street saw me dripping water and smiled at my condition and that brought it all into perspective for me, suddenly the anger dissipated and I just accepted It was a bit of a soaking and no harm done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;OUT Of Towners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the same theme, I had three guests (one of them first time in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Pattaya&lt;/span&gt;) come down from Bangkok at the start of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Songkran&lt;/span&gt; so they would miss the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;shenanigans&lt;/span&gt; in Bangkok. Unfortunately they did not fare well in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Pattaya&lt;/span&gt;,The first day they came into the guest house after a morning at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Jomtien&lt;/span&gt; beach and asked me to get a taxi to take them back to Bangkok. They explained that as they left the beach they had been literally assaulted by crowds of young Eastern Europeans bombarding them with water,this was not in fun Tommy said it was a mob in a frenzy. The guys managed to get on a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Bhat&lt;/span&gt; bus which was full and told the driver to get moving and do not slow down for anything, but said a furious Tommy the driver then proceeded to stop at every gathering that was throwing water so the revelers could douse the passengers. Even after the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;passengers&lt;/span&gt; had forcefully told the driver not to stop he continued to slow down, When the third dousing happened courtesy of the driver all the passenger got off the baht bus and walked away telling the driver he was not getting paid.&lt;br /&gt;To add insult to injury Tommy and his gang got another soaking when they encountered the mob at the end of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;soi&lt;/span&gt;. That was enough of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Songkran&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Pattaya&lt;/span&gt; for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Tommy's&lt;/span&gt; friend, why pay money to get soaked here when I can get the same free at home said he. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Street Party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was not all gloom and doom though,on the 18&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; I gave my staff the afternoon off to celebrate (more like I was told they were having a party). Garbage bins were lined up outside Two Guys and filled with water, chalk and talcum powder were made ready and the celebration commenced. With the latest design of water pistols at the ready they proceeded to soak each other and rub chalk on each others faces. This was more the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Songkran&lt;/span&gt; I knew, the neighbourhood children joined in and anybody passing,declining to get wet were left to pass untroubled. The only people that were given no quarter were the young Middle Eastern youths that had been soaking all and sundry the days previously, I suspected it was pay back time because the locals went running after them and made sure they got wet.&lt;br /&gt;Food drink and music was available all day and it was fun watching the gyrations of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;thoroughly&lt;/span&gt; soaked &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;sinuous&lt;/span&gt; young men dancing with abandon in the middle of the street. Now that version of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Songkran&lt;/span&gt; I can appreciate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Alistair's Report&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a report form a customer who has been doing long term research of the gay bars in Pattaya ( I cant remember if he was on an educational grant or self funded), that one of the places he liked was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Guys Club&lt;/span&gt; in walking street, what he enjoyed was the intimate atmosphere and also the show that they put on later in the evening. He also told me that a new bar has opened in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;boyztown&lt;/span&gt; that it is associated to Dave Mans club, as of now I have not checked it out.&lt;br /&gt;I tend to believe Alistair's assessments/reviews  because I know he is a person that has in the past endeavored until the breaking dawn of the morning and left no dark corner unexplored in his quest for enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Birthday Parties&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was at a couple of birthday parties , My own and Ducks of(CU Bar).&lt;br /&gt;My party was a low key affair at the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Forest Bar&lt;/span&gt;, I supplied an  Ice Cream cake for the customers and bought the staff a bottle of whisky. The Ice Cream cake was from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Swensen's&lt;/span&gt; in Royal Garden,(First came across them in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mikes Bar LaCage&lt;/span&gt;, well worth the money), The cake  was quite large with chocolate dipped cherries on the top.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all the customers and staff had been given a piece of the cake there was a couple of slices left over.  Martin had them  put them in the fridge at the end of the night, thinking that was a nice treat for him when he opened up the following day.  Guess what When Martin Opened the shutters and went to the fridge there it was all gone, and of course nobody knew where it went.&lt;br /&gt;Must have been that Italian guy "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;Fuckedifano&lt;/span&gt;" did it again, says Martin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always like to go to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ducks &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;party's&lt;/span&gt; because his food is excellent and his 50&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; Birthday party was no exception.&lt;br /&gt;He had his mother bring over from Croatia 17 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;kG&lt;/span&gt; of Sausages and dry smoked ham,and happily I made a glutton of myself with them.&lt;br /&gt;The spread was the home made sausages (3 varieties) all delicious, Dry smoked ham that after savoring it left you smacking you lips and looking for more. other items were Ducks secret recipe very tasty &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;Kebab&lt;/span&gt; sausages (spicy or natural), Chicken Drum sticks, a variety of salads and real German farmers bread. There was lots more but I concentrated on getting more than my share of the ham and sausages.&lt;br /&gt;I had some photos of Duck posing beside the food display brandishing his newest bottle of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;Croatian&lt;/span&gt; Brandy, unfortunately I managed to loose them while trying to transfer them to my computer using new software. The Old adage that comes to mind is when all else fails read the instructions, Duh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a visit a couple of days ago from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Monty&lt;/span&gt; (the original mine host of this gay guesthouse). He is back in town and looking very healthy, at first i did not recognize him as he has filled out quite a bit. When the penny dropped who he was I said hello and apologized for not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;acknowledging&lt;/span&gt; him earlier,the reason being his changed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30"&gt;appearance&lt;/span&gt;. He said that he had been &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"&gt;seriously&lt;/span&gt; ill for a while but was much better now. I mentioned that i had heard rumors that he was looking for a place to run, he smiled and nodded saying that many places he has been in were offered to him but they were not suitable for his purpose.&lt;br /&gt;Now This being &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"&gt;Pattaya&lt;/span&gt; I have already heard three different rumors where he is setting up shop and If you want to hear them you will have to drop by Two Guys!&lt;br /&gt;All I can say is welcome back Monty, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33"&gt;Pattay&lt;/span&gt;a is sorely in need of more characters like you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is sad to report there has been the passing away of a few of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34"&gt;Sunee&lt;/span&gt; regulars, Richard Bunt (Co-Owner of Gay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35"&gt;TingTong&lt;/span&gt;), The Owner of the Office Boy Bar and Old Jim who almost blind was usually seen being guided by a couple of friends round Sunee.&lt;br /&gt;At least they were fortunate enough to enjoy &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36"&gt;themselves&lt;/span&gt; with the time they had left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Updates of the Bars  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have not done any updates in this newsletter because I have not been around the bars for a while. I did not realize this lapse until I went into one of my favorite &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37"&gt;GoGo&lt;/span&gt; clubs and was met with squeals of surprise and delight. As I was walking past the stage to my seat the dancers were tugging at my sleeve and saying why you not come see me long time. They were so happy that three of them did an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38"&gt;impromptu&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39"&gt;synchronized&lt;/span&gt; dance routine for me, one tall slim, long clean &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40"&gt;limbed&lt;/span&gt; dancer with a broad pair of shoulders tapering down to a waist no bigger than my neck had me jumping for Joy (or was his name Jimbo?). I invited him to sit for a moment so I could show concern about his well general being and uncover his &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41"&gt;personality&lt;/span&gt;. He was a very likable person and I enjoyed my chat with him, I think he enjoyed my company as well, because when I got ready to leave he put his hands on the sides of my head turned it to face him and with lovely pouting silky lips gave me a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42"&gt;wonderfully&lt;/span&gt; gentle mouth to mouth kiss.&lt;br /&gt;People still ask me why I like to stay in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43"&gt;Pattya&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those that want regular updates on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44"&gt;Pattaya&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_45"&gt;Nickys&lt;/span&gt; web site is now posting weekly reviews covering a wide range of subjects and locations in Thailand..... http://www.nickysgaypattaya.com/gay-pattaya/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care John&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7068466753002335329-1607883716679219940?l=twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/feeds/1607883716679219940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2011/05/hi-everybody-its-been-while-since-last.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/1607883716679219940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/1607883716679219940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2011/05/hi-everybody-its-been-while-since-last.html' title=''/><author><name>TwoGuys Guesthouse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00012009452303289880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068466753002335329.post-811561367900010726</id><published>2011-03-26T01:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-26T02:35:41.134-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pattaya Gay Vacations'/><title type='text'>TwoGuys Feb/Mar. Newsletter</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Good Morning To you all, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is is Saturday morning and I am feeling the effects of a late night survey of Sunee Plaza. As some of my customers remarked it was done only so I could bring to all the readers of this newsletter the up to date gossip, slander and downright figments of peoples imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wandered to Sunee via &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Happy Boys&lt;/span&gt; and then Eros, Happy Boys as always&lt;br /&gt;was fun with the staff dancing on the tables and not only letting things all hang out but swinging them around as well.&lt;br /&gt;One of the Staff was called Orangutan. Why I said , is it because he is all hairy no I was told , he has one steel and one brass ball, when he walks and they bang together they make the noise like Orang--a--Tang!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eros GoGo&lt;/span&gt; has improved by leaps and bounds, the inside has been cleaned up and there are plenty of staff abounding. The staff on Fridays wear G strings and you get a view of some nice bums. Other nights they wear Bikinis, Boxers, regular Y fronts and one night a week the are allowed to wear street clothes,&lt;br /&gt;always in white. The cost of the drinks are very reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few of the bars are now doing happy hour specials and in some places the prices half the normal charged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Eros I walked by the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;New Queens&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Regies&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wan's&lt;/span&gt; bar all the bars appeared to be busy. I had been on my way to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;All of Me Bar&lt;/span&gt; to say hello to Boy and Gary but was sidetracked to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Green chairs&lt;/span&gt; bar on the corner of&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Don Plaza&lt;/span&gt;, where I was regaled by a shocking tale by C who told me about his being taken advantage off in a well known establishment.  He appeared to be a state of shock (or was it euphoria) while he was recounting his lurid and amazing tale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C said that he was in the establishment for a quiet drink and a peruse of the staff when he got int a conversation with a comely staff member he was then invited upstairs for an more intimate chat, thinking that he wanted some fatherly advice he acquiesced to the request. Once upstairs and seated my friend was shocked rigid when the young man removed his flimsy garments and sat on his knee, then draped his arms around his neck and started nibbling his ear. The rest of the details were to graphic to describe here but C told me that he was so intimidated he was powerless to resist the young mans willful naughtiness  brushing his well formed lips all over C's body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I left c at the Green Chairs to ruminate on his encounter and moved on past the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Corner bar&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;YaYa's&lt;/span&gt; bar and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Duc's&lt;/span&gt; cafe again all were quite busy. I then bumped into Duck of the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; CU bar&lt;/span&gt; who was returning to the bar with a couple of young men in tow. He told me he was taking them to the show At the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Copa&lt;/span&gt; in Boyztown as they had never been there before. I was tempted to accompany them but had a deadline to meet and had to finish my research for the newsletter, so I paid the bin and was pleasantly surprised to find drinks were on happy hour special at half price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next on the list for a visit was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mic My&lt;/span&gt; GoGo as I had been told that they had a lot of new staff. I was not disappointed as the place was jumping!&lt;br /&gt;I saw a lot of new faces and some of the old hands were about and there was one that I had not seen for a while. When I asked him where he had been he told me his Mama told him he has to go to college so now he only go to bar at weekend. Just as I was about to leave I noticed a tall young man, very handsome. I called him over and spoke to him his English was very good and he told me he works in Bangkok during the week and comes down to Pattaya at the weekend to play. I then asked him if he would like to play with me, he gave me a wonderful smile and said sure anytime. Once again where but Pattaya  can you meet handsome young guys that are happy to speak with you.I am meeting him tonight as he was requesting some work related advice and unfortunately as I had a pressing schedule to deal with I could not fulfill his wants then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;La Cage Bar&lt;/span&gt; has a lot of new staff recently, some quite cute. There is still the happy hour on until 21.00, most drinks buy 1 get 1 free.&lt;br /&gt;Mike organizes many outings with regular visits to Bangkok for Classical Music buffaloes he also puts on a few special events during the month, check out his web site for details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended the evening at the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Forrest House Bar&lt;/span&gt;, I think it has some of the most handsome and cheerful staff in Pattaya. I enjoy watching the ebb and flow of people around Sunee from here and the drink prices are very reasonable. Any time you want a game of pool there is always one of the hustlers on the staff ready to whip your ass for the cost of a drink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now thanks to the kindness of some  customers who took the time to suggest them,I am able to offer some good reads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Life of Pi, by Yann Martel............. cant remember who suggested this&lt;br /&gt;2. Book Thief, by Markus Zusak..............Suggested by John Toth&lt;br /&gt;3. Midnight Children, by Salmand Rushdi.....Suggested by Kenneth Milton&lt;br /&gt;4. The Lucuna, by Barbara Kingsolver........Suggested by Skip Koppert&lt;br /&gt;5. Unknown Soldier, By Weinö Linna .........Suggested by Daniel (Mr Sweden)&lt;br /&gt;6. Shantaram, by Gregory David Roberts......Suggested by Richard Gayton&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself have just started reading the Harry Potter books after many years of&lt;br /&gt;dismissing the series as children s fodder. I must say that when I have started reading any one of the books I can not put it down, it just keeps me engrossed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General&lt;br /&gt;The new &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Le Bush hotel&lt;/span&gt; opposite if finally open after 2 years of construction,&lt;br /&gt;I hear the prices start at 1400 B/ night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;P bar&lt;/span&gt; in the heart of Sunee appears to be closed, this is the bar that played Hip Hop music and was for non gays. Some uncharitable people suggested the P stood for Pussy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oud's Bar&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;I dropped in there a few times over the past month and as always was entertained by Oud and the boys. Jack and Ralph were getting ready for their trip back to the states and a visit to Costa Rica on the side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new road going to Jomtien  seems to finally got to the beach, it is still a bit of a mess , the last time I was at Jomtien during the day I was glad I was on a motorbike because the car traffic was backed up all the way up the hill. I imagine that the businesses in the Jomtien Complex will be&lt;br /&gt;happy to see the end of the construction. It was no fun truing o cross a muddy dirt road to get into the complex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Songkran is approaching and I am already fully booked for then. I have threatened staff that I am going to stay in my room for 3 days and let them get on with it. They already have bought their "wet" gear to participate and want me to shut up shop at Midday 19 th. so they can play with the rest of the locals around here, all are welcome to come along and join in the Fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care everybody and remember to enjoy yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7068466753002335329-811561367900010726?l=twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/feeds/811561367900010726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/twoguys-febmar-newsletter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/811561367900010726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/811561367900010726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/twoguys-febmar-newsletter.html' title='TwoGuys Feb/Mar.

To make matters worse there is now a cooking oil shortage in Thailand coupled with a rise&lt;br /&gt;in cost of about 70%. The Thai government is now investigating to see if this has not been manipulated by the two major companies that control the market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I managed to finally meet a young man last week that I have been conversing with on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gay Romeo&lt;/span&gt; for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;He was quite reticent about coming to Pattaya from his home town as he had heard that it was a wild and wicked town.&lt;br /&gt;But the lure of finding work in a gay environment was overpowering, so he plucked up the courage two months ago and came to town. He was happy when His friend found him a job as a waiter at a show bar in Jomtien as he did not want to work anywhere where they can be offed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been out with him A couple of times and took him to some shows in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Boyztown.&lt;/span&gt; You could tell he was new to town because his head was turning everywhere taking everything in. He walked slightly behind me holding on to my arm and sometimes pushed me in front of him when we were near some of the more rowdy barkers outside the bars.&lt;br /&gt;At the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Xboys&lt;/span&gt; show most of the performers were rather well endowed going by what was thrusting from underneath their gossamer thin briefs. One rather slim guy was so huge I wondered aloud if it was real. Oh yes said my new friend nodding his head enthusiastically, I don't think I have to worry about if he is really gay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are going on another purely platonic outing tomorrow night to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Funny Place&lt;/span&gt; show and drinks after wards. I have to pinch myself again and keep repeating this is not a dream, where else but Pattaya can an old fart have a handsome 21 yr old be interested in him, whatever the reason I am more than happy to receive his attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; News from around Town.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last month I mentioned a new shop opening up in Treppasit road that sells New and refurbishes Sofas and Chairs to a high standard at reasonable prices. It is called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Sofa Shop&lt;/span&gt;, here is the web address... http://www.thesofashop.net/index.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Ken and the calls home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very frustrated Ken who is a regular customer was complaining about his Mobile/cell phone reception just after he arrived. On my inquiring he said that on international calls the sound was very indistinct, he had great trouble hearing his partner at home. I took him to a good phone person that I use and left him to explain his problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later that day Ken came in quite happy and said the his phone had checked out OK so it must be the international satellite.  A day or so later Ken told me the problem had been fixed. It seems that his partner had been given a new phone for Christmas and had only started using it. After the calls from Ken with the bad reception and frayed tempers he decided to read the instructions.&lt;br /&gt;Only to be find out he had been holding it upside down, using the speaker as the earpiece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Nab&lt;/span&gt;.I did the Nab disco last week mainly because I had not been there beforehand. For the Thais it is the in place to go and be seen, There were certainly lots of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;youfs&lt;/span&gt; abounding, I would say it was a 50/50, Gay/straight crowd.   I bought a bottle of Whisky and the mixers (over 1500 B)  to share with my younger guests. The nab is set out with a stage and a central runway shooting out A la fashion show. There were plenty of bare chested dancers  on stage at any time, some quite cute. But they lacked something, it was as if they were going through the motions of something that had been done 1000,s of times before.  Not at all like &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Dave&lt;/span&gt; where I got the impression the dancers were enjoying what they were doing.&lt;br /&gt;At about 01.30 there was a short show, 15 - 20 Min from performers with the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Alcazar &lt;/span&gt;show, it was all in Thai so I missed what was being said but the locals enjoyed it. I have decided My disco and Karaoke days are over although I still enjoy going to&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Xzyte &lt;/span&gt;because of the resident band.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WW boys&lt;/span&gt;. I did the full show of the Wild West boys and have to say it was not a patch on the time I was there a more than year ago. This show followed the format of Lip syncing Ladyboys with Dancers doing their strutting behind her, there was one performer however that really put everything into her number and if I did not know better i would have thought she was actually singing live. Other than that nothing to write home about unfortunately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Venue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I at last went to the Venue for their show, I have been hearing conflicting accounts about the show so decided time to see for myself. Now for anybody not having gone to the venue before, the place is very slick, very modern and I liked the decor. I think I paid 150/160 B for a beer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are going there get there early to grab a good seat to see the show. There are a few pillars in front of the stage and it is easy to get stuck behind one. The service is spot on lots of waiters hovering around to take your order.&lt;br /&gt;The show itself was OK and if you have not seen a show like this before you will enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;I sincerely wish the folks at the venue lots of luck because they are at least trying to entertain their customers with new shows regularly. I am sure that it is not easy to think up new routines on a regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Police raids&lt;/span&gt;, there have been frequent Police raids in Pattaya recently and not just the gay scene for a change.&lt;br /&gt;The&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Prime Minister&lt;/span&gt; has pledged to do something about the drug problem and has told the police to crack down on users and pushers.&lt;br /&gt;There was a very large raid in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sunee &lt;/span&gt;where the Police blocked off all the streets, then proceeded to go round all the  bars and check every Thai boy, doing an ID check and a Pee test, no farangs were remotely bothered.&lt;br /&gt;They followed this up about a week later with random checks in the bars,The police would go into the bar check the boys eyes and then if they thought they were suspicious make them take a pee test, again no Farangs were bothered.&lt;br /&gt;Just last night the Police were in Sunee stopping all Thai boys on motor bikes and checking their IDs and also under the seats to see if they were carrying anything. This has had the effect of clearing out most of the young street kids  and the assorted nefarious types. Lets hope they keep it up, I think Sunee is much better off for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CU Bar&lt;/span&gt;, Duck of the CU Bar has informed me that he is having a 3 in 1 party on the 24 Feb. Attached is his flier  for the event. The food is always good at Ducks but be warned if he offers you any of his home made Brandy, It will do your head in. I know because I am talking from experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IhtERGNOtco/TWMr2tDUH3I/AAAAAAAAAI8/uKqGq52FhbE/s1600/DuckParty.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IhtERGNOtco/TWMr2tDUH3I/AAAAAAAAAI8/uKqGq52FhbE/s320/DuckParty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576348982421233522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of Me Bar&lt;/span&gt;, Last newsletter I told you about Boy and Tom opening up their new bar In Sunee where the old Wunderbar was, It was politely pointed out to me that I got the new name wrong. Anyway earlier this month They had a large party with free food and a sound stage to celebrate Official opening and Boy's birthday. The food was excellent, cooked by Tom and Boy themselves,The music was quite good with a couple of Thai guys singing western standards until around 10.30 then  Boy's  friends and guests got up and did their renditions, some of the singers were good and others as the night wore on not so good, but the whiskey consumed was telling them they were just brilliant. I noticed one gentleman who is 92 was up dancing with the boys when the Issan music was playing, the boys thought this was a hoot and were laughing and clapping urging him on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Crazy Dragon&lt;/span&gt;, I haven't mentioned the Dragon in a while, it is another one of my favorite bars where you can have some fun interacting with the Table Top Dancers and still have a drink at a reasonable cost, it is a no pressure atmosphere and if you just want to sit and watch you are quite welcome to do so. Mark and John who normally sit inside at the door are very approachable guys and will chat to anybody (they even talks to me).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Happy Boys&lt;/span&gt;, Had a promotion in last months Thai Puan monthly magazine where if you took in the Ad they ran, they gave you a free pair of the unique socks the dancers wear. I got a limited edition pair that a large boy had been using as a willy warmer. I have also been kindly supplied with discount cards for Happy Boys that will get you a free drink after you buy one and also discount cards for Eros Boys that will allow you to get a beer or soft drink for 80 B. They will be available to regular customers and residents of Two Guys as long as supplies last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Forest bar&lt;/span&gt;, Has some very handsome waiters working for them, I think some of the most handsome in Sunee (personal Opinion). One in particular called Tom 2 who is not only handsome but quite pleasant to talk to and funny as well, He always tells each customer you are really the only person for him.&lt;br /&gt;About two weeks ago Tom 2 had enjoyed participating in consuming a bottle of whiskey and was slightly off kilter as the evening wore on. That night about 5 regular customers including myself were sitting at the bar looking out on to the street where the boys were having their party, Tom 2 came to the front of the bar, smiled and blew a kiss at another customer down the bar from me.&lt;br /&gt;I caught Tom 2's eye and pretended to be shocked and upset that he was playing up to someone else. The poor guy was well oiled by now and thought I was serious. He came round the bar pleading with me,sticking his tongue in my ear and telling me he liked me more that the other fellow and I was number one. Ken who was sitting beside me was creasing himself with laughter as I put my nose up in the air and dramatically clutched at my broken heart.&lt;br /&gt;I spoke to Tom 2 a couple of days later and told him he was forgiven and we were still very good friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Something new&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mickey who runs the Old Posting House in Cumbria ,England. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;www.oldpostinghouse.co.uk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; who is here on holiday was telling me that he had been to the Chez Vicky restaurant in Day Night Plaza last Sunday night. Vicky puts on a show On &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sunday night only&lt;/span&gt; which Mickey said was worth going to see, I have added it to my list of TTD (Tings To Do) and will let you know about the show after I have seen it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having a conversation with guys in the bar about&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; banking on line and security precautions&lt;/span&gt;, I mentioned that I use a FREE browser add on that is very easy to install and then you can forget about it, here is the blurb from the software site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;KeyScrambler&lt;/span&gt; Personal protects all your inputs in  Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Flock, including your login credentials,  credit card numbers, search terms, Java, Flash, PDF Forms, Web email  and a lot more.

We got talking about politics and  the state of The Thai economy and eventually The poor young man told me a  harrowing tale about his not being able to get any sleep at his apartment  because all the other residents watching current affairs on TV and discussing  politics all night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"   lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"   lang="EN-GB"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;color:black;"    lang="EN-GB"&gt;I was so  moved that I offered to let him sleep at my apartment for the remainder of the  night, but warned him I might keep him awake because of my nocturnal habits.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"   lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;color:black;"    lang="EN-GB"&gt;He was so  grateful he almost cried in his beer when he accepted my offer.

Starting with  a newly owned Bar in Sunee called &lt;b&gt;"Me and You"&lt;/b&gt; (ex  Wunderbar) which is run by two Thai friends &lt;b&gt;Boy and Tom&lt;/b&gt; both very  pleasant and popular young me&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;and also  both ex-cashiers from &lt;b&gt;La Cage.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"   lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;color:black;"    lang="EN-GB"&gt;The Bar is  in a good position for watching the action going by, looking onto the cross  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"   lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;color:black;"    lang="EN-GB"&gt;Street that  connects the front and back Soi.

I have added photos of the buildings progress, the first is when it was  about halfway done and the second was taken two days ago almost completed. The  finishing work is going on inside and the soft furnishings have still to be  shipped in.

The staff I am  told are very popular with Japanese and Korean and tend to be on the diminutive  side. I did spot a very cute dancer that I will be interviewing for next month's  newsletter, in fact I saw another 2 cuties on my tour of duty that will also be  getting an in depth Interviewed at a later date.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;After  KaWaii we looked into a couple of other places but had no customers so we  by-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;passed  them, It was now 20.00 and we headed to &lt;b&gt;Happy Place Bar &lt;/b&gt;to see the show.  I am told that it is  very energetic show with mild S &amp;amp; M elements, which  aroused some of the performers according to a recent spectator. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;We were  informed earlier by one of the staff the show started at 20.00, unfortunately  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;somebody  got it wrong. We sat for half an hour with nothing happening then asked a  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;waiter when  the show was staring, 10 Min's he said.  Still another 10 Min. waiting and no  show, so as our drinks were finished we left and headed for Funny Boys.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I found out  later that the show is scheduled to start at 20.30 but usually starts around  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;20.40. I  must say though the staff at Happy  Place were all smiling and friendly, not at all  pushy. The bar had a good vibe to it and you could tell that the staff are happy  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;working  there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Now if you  don't know it, &lt;b&gt;Funny Boys&lt;/b&gt; is a comfortable,&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;very nicely decorated and well run bar with  lots of stage hands on duty. There are all types of eye candy available to suit  many tastes, from Fem to Muscle and Ordinary  Straights. We were having a good  time comparing our notes about the comeliness of the staff but Unfortunately the  atmosphere was spoiled for us when a gaggle of Male and Female Japanese tourists  came in with a guide. They sat gawking and tittering behind hands pressed to  their mouths, the staff didn't seem to mind, I suppose in this economic climate  one cannot be fussy about who wants to spend money in your bar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The last  place we visited in the Boyztown area was &lt;b&gt;Wild West Boys&lt;/b&gt;, we walked in  when the show was in progress  and we saw silicone aided Katoys (at one stage  bare breasted) miming songs, accompanied by young men prancing around the  stage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;There was  one good spot where two performers were doing erotic and energetic things under  a sheet and you were given a brief glimpse when the sheet was lifted,  one performer certainly had a nice little bum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I didn't  see enough of the show  to compare it to previous shows in the past that had  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;been very  well produced. After the show was finished, I watched the exodus of customers  out the door, that’s normal I thought, just here for the show. But when the  "background " music started it was not only crappy techno music but  was so loud  that you could physically feel the base resonating on your body, needless to say  we quickly made our way to the exit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;With The  &lt;b&gt;Boyztown &lt;/b&gt;tour finished we headed back to &lt;b&gt;Sunee,&lt;/b&gt; Gerry opting for  &lt;b&gt;Happy &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Bar in Soi  Yensabai &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;which I had  introduced him to a couple of days earlier. He is of the same opinion as myself  that it is well named, I know I always have fun when I visit and he has not  missed a jolly night yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I myself  headed off to the &lt;b&gt;Forest Bar in Sunee&lt;/b&gt; to see if there was any gossip  around that I could use for the Newsletter, there was gossip but of the nature  that could not be printed. Come to Pattaya and find out what you are  missing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;A new Boy  Bar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt; has opened up in walking street called the &lt;b&gt;Guy Club&lt;/b&gt; and there  has &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;been a lot  of twittering in the gay community about it, but from what I have been able to  find out it's marketing to the female tourists that prowl the area looking for  cheap thrills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Other  Things&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I an still  compiling a list of books that have made an impression on you, If you wish to  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;add a book  title please mail it to me using the return reply of this email.

I eventually found a shop in the  Made In Thailand Shopping Plaza on second road with a variety of sticks for  sale, all at 300 B each&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;For anybody  travelling or using more than one computer this little program is a godsend. It  is called "Drop-Box" and what it does is allows you to store and transfer files  from one computer to another via the Internet (no need for any flash drives). it  is a free program and you can upgrade it if you want more storage capacity. All  you have to do is go to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dropbox.com/instal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-size: 11pt;"&gt;www.&lt;b&gt;dropbox&lt;/b&gt;.com/instal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; and then  follow the instructions.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Here is a  bit of humor about our rapidly changing technology, Done by Ronnie Corbett of the Two Ronnie's. The skit take place in an old style Grocer's shop between a customer and a very "knowledgeable" assistant, who would make a good used car salesman. For the non Brits.

Al the  staff were decked out in traditional Thai Costumes and had many people stopping  to take photos  of the waiters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The  following Night at the Forest bar was a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Birthday  party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;  for Peanut and again all the staff were done up in different Thai Costumes, they  looked quite stunning and once again were enjoying the festivities. So much so  that a few of them had slight navigation problems at the latter part of the  evening. The customers were lapping it up being attended to very affectionate  and emotional staff who would sit in their laps while taking their order.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;One  of the younger staff greeted me effusively when I arrived, giving me a big  sloppy kiss and sticking his tongue in my ear, Oh if only we got this service  all the time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Later  on the staff member who shall be nameless ( to protect his chaste reputation)  decided that the lower half of the Thai costume was to warm and ripped it  off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;This  left him wearing only a head band long knee length white socks and a revealing  skin tight leotard made of very flimsy material under which he had little or no  underwear. He was getting a lot of attention from the customers as he walked  about quite unconcerned. The leotard having slid into cleft of his bum exposing  his smooth skinned exquisite ass. After a while the other staff  of concern  should he catch a chill  banished him to their sleeping quarters, alas.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;I  have included some photos off the staff in there traditional Thai costumes  (kindly supplied by Martin). A few are slightly out of focus, the reason being  that they were taken later in the evening when the staff were tired and  emotional after a busy night of celebrations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;On  a not so happy note, a breakfast customer came into Two Guys the day after Loy  Krathong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;and  reported that his rental motor bike had been stolen the night before while he  was partying at Jomtien beach . He was not a happy camper because it was going  to cost him 60,000 B to replace it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;He  said he could not believe it had happen to him, he was sitting only 500 m away  from where he had parked it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;He  suspected a bunch of youths which had been sitting near it, they had been  watching him when he locked his camera and Walkman under the seat, unfortunately  he did not lock the wheel as there were lots of people around at the time and he  thought nobody would be brazen enough&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;to  mess with the bike with lots of witnesses there.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;About  six days later he came back looking much happier, the bike had been found parked  in a small Soi off Jomtien beach road. The owner of a small convenience store  had notice the bike and knew nobody local owned it, after 5 days he called the  police and reported it as abandoned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;When  T went to check the bike he found that the seat lock had been broken and his  gear had been nicked. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Whoever  took the bike was probably after some quick cash to buy more beer, so T  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;was  quite lucky as all it cost him was a new seat, about 3000 B instead of 60,000 B.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Lesson  learned he said, next time  I will use all the locks available. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;One  tip I got from a friendly local policeman about wheel locks for you motor bike,  use hand cuffs, there is no way they can be cut and no way they can free wheel  the bike away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I  had been preparing for Christmas&lt;/strong&gt; and had started baking Christmas mince  meat pies,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;the  production line had to come to a halt when Aek our cook/cashier/waiter had to go  home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;for  a family reunion. I was left to supervise the rest of the staff, Geng normally  on the ball but &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;this  was not his most alert performance. I have noticed before that no matter how  smart/astute/switched on  the boys are, they seem to have days when they seem to  switch off or forget everything they ever learned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Things  were going a bit slow for the breakfasts and I explained to  Geng that customers  don't like to wait 20/30 minutes for their breakfast, this  was met with  incomprehension. When I tried to tactfully explain that he could use more than  one gas ring at a time instead of cooking every item individually in the one pan  I was rewarded with pouts and the cold shoulder. Eventually I got him to cook  the bacon and the eggs at the same time as he loaded the toaster (progress you  say) Wait for it.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;I  had been upstairs doing some work and when I came down for a break ,Geng was  cooking Pancakes, but he was not happy. His Pancakes were not round like Aeks  and “did not look beautiful”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;He  had some on a plate already cooked so I tried one and it was good (but not  round)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Just  as I was munching the Pancake the customer stuck his head in the kitchen and  asked Geng if he had forgotten his order. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;How  long has he been waiting I asked.......30 Mins says Geng.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;I  don't know why customer ask me that said Geng, I already tell him he has to wait  long time until I make pancakes beautiful. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Fortunately  Aek is now back and Geng is getting a refresher course on organising his cooking  routine and making beautiful round Pancakes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Sunee  Plaza &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;is  picking up but could do with more people around, I have noticed that the Persian  Bar/nightclub (Apadana) is very quiet these days, in fact lately they keep the  lights on but nobody is working there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;I  have noticed that now we are approaching the high season some of what you would  term &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;“Old  hands” are reappearing,most of them working as free lancers in the various  establishments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;and  beer bars. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The  latest rumor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;  I have heard repeated is that a new bar is going to be opened in what used to be  Balkan Express.

font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;I  will leave you to your imagination as to the nature of the  distractions, enough to say that there are a lot of new faces in Pattaya  and I have been going around the bars checking them out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;

He also recommended the following blog that covers Thailand and  is worth a read &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Bao Bao’s Blog  ( &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;http:// &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://khunbaobao.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;khunbaobao.blogspot.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt; )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Loy Kratong &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;is  upon us again . It takes place this Sunday .  I have heard that alot of  the bars will be closing early so the staff can go and participate in  the festival. I spoke to the Mamasan at the Forest House in Sunee Plaza  and they are staying open all night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;In  the past I have gone to the beach with the staff from The Bar La Cage.   Deck chairs are hired and tables put up, then bottles of whiskey are  produced. It is a very relaxing evening watching the boys frolicking in  the sand in their skimpies and setting of fireworks, each boy trying to  out do the other’s display with a bigger bang or a brighter flash ( keep  your mind out of the gutter-I’m talking about Fireworks  ).  I normally  leave around midnight with the party still going strong, by this time  the music has started and the boys are dancing up a storm. I have yet to  invite a partner to the dance but  have my eye on a handsome hunk that I  met in Happy Boys the other night, the only problem is that I am so shy  and afraid that my modest proposal will be rejected.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;I had reason to look into &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Accident insurance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;  costs and found that the  Siam Commercial Bank (SCB)  has policies  underwritten by New York Life, the basic policy costs 1200 B a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;,  for 50,000 B coverage (Hospital expenses), you can get higher coverage  for not much more if desired.  I think that this would be good coverage  for anybody  with a high deductible and people that are here part time  and not worried about health insurance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Sam &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;one of the regulars around Sunee made a short trip to Cambodia and kindly wrote a report&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;of the highlights, he has generously allowed me to include it in the newsletter, it follows directly after this . Thank you Sam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Sam’s Report on Cambodian Trip&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Trip to Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville October 7 - 12, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The  trip was booked several months before to fit in with a friend’s holiday  time in Pattaya and we were lucky to obtain a promo price from Air Asia  so that the round trip only cost 2010 Baht per person. Air Asia only  fly to PP once a day from Bkk and we departed on time at 15.25 and  arrived on time,  landing at 16.35. We were quickly through Immigration  as we had obtained E-Visas online, these can be found at  www.mfaic.gov.kh/evisa/ and saves you a page in your passport. You can  also get a visa on arrival and will need 2 photos and pay $20. Outside  there are plenty of taxis and tuktuks to take you to your  hotel/guesthouse, it’s about 30 mins to the centre of PP and costs  around $10. There is a range of accommodation available and the  riverfront is a great area to stay, the only Gay Guesthouse is   www.manorhousecambodia.com and I have stayed here twice before and did  so on this trip. It’s run by Greg from Australia and his Cambodian bf  and is safe, secure and to a very high standard with room safes and free  wi-fi, I can recommend it. I think I should mention here US$ are the  main currency used in Cambodia, I was getting $30 for 1000Baht in  Pattaya and managed to get $32 from a money exchange in PP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;PP  is not a large city and is easy to travel around using the tuktuks, and  same as Pattaya you should agree your price beforehand, for short  journeys $2 or $3 is adequate. It’s reasonably safe and the people are  friendly and helpful and have a good standard of English. Sights to see  are The Royal Palace, National Museum and the riverfront which is a  great area with lots of bars and restaurants along its length, and so  drinking and eating alfresco at night time and watching the world go by  is a must. There is also the Foreign Correspondents Club which is open  to all and has an upstairs restaurant and bar with reasonable prices and  views across the river – recommended. Two other places that you should  visit so that you can get a better understanding of Cambodia are Tuol  Sleng Genocide Museum(S21 prison camp), and the Killing Field about 30   minutes from the city centre by tuktuk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;PP  used to have a few gay bars but sadly only one has survived and this is  the Blue Chilli bar not far from the riverfront   www.bluechillibar.com    It is run by a good Thai friend of mine, Oak,  and his Cambodian partner Sokha and was originally set up by an English  chap, John, who was there during our trip. Please visit the bar as you  will assured of a warm welcome from Oak and Sokha. It is not the same as  Thailand as, apart from the two waiters, boys do not work in the bar  but there are often many there looking to meet a new friend especially  on Friday and Saturday when they do a small show which is very popular.  Cambodia and it’s people are still very poor compared to Thailand, they  are not greedy and happy with any assistance they may receive. Wat  Phnanom is a park and temple on a small hill where many people spend  their afternoons and you may find a friend here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Although  only in Cambodia for 5 days we really wanted to visit the beach resort  of Sihanoukville to see what it looked like. We hired a Cambodian lad  whose “friend” had bought him a car to use as a taxi and was known to  the guys in Blue Chilli, and set off for the resort at lunchtime. It is a  long 4 hour drive in good weather but we were unlucky as a tropical  storm was raging and we drove through this and by the time we arrived at  the resort lots of trees and other damage had been caused and the sea  was very rough, and unfortunately it never really stopped raining all  the time we were there. John from Blue Chilli came with us and we stayed  at a small guesthouse recommended by him and owned and run by the local  police chief, his wife and their family. They were all very friendly,  the rooms had air con, shower/toilet and cable tv with more channels  than UBC, and only $15 per night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;It  was only a 5 minute walk to the beach so we threw or bags inside our  rooms and headed for the beach bars at 5.30pm and didn’t get back there  until after midnight! The beach we were on was Ochheuteal and this is  the least developed with bars all along the stretch of beach and John  said they always did beach BBQs every night but not this night due to  the weather. There are several other beaches and you can find info on  the internet. We liked what we saw of Sihanoukville despite the weather  and the next Cambodia trip will include several days at this resort. We  left about 2pm the next day and got back to PP by 7pm, we hit heavy rain  and flooding on the way and it was touch and go as to whether we would  get through or not but our taxi driver did a great job. We paid him $110  for the trip and covered his food and accommodation.  Air con buses run  regularly to and from Sihanoukville and the cost is only $4 one way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;We  spent our final night back at ManorHouse and the Blue Chill bar,  lunched at the FCC the next day   www.fcccambodia.com/phnom_penh/boutique-hotel.php then flew back to  Bkk. The AirAsia flight left 20 minutes early at 17.05, we breezed  through Thai Immigration and were back in Pattaya by 8.30pm. The Thai  Airport tax was included in the Thai flight but when leaving PP you have  to pay $25.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;If you want to see a different part of S E Asia then I recommend you try Cambodia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7068466753002335329-4324090847884439577?l=twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/feeds/4324090847884439577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2010/11/oct-nov-two-guys-news-letter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/4324090847884439577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/4324090847884439577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2010/11/oct-nov-two-guys-news-letter.html' title='Oct./ Nov Two Guys News Letter'/><author><name>TwoGuys Guesthouse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00012009452303289880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068466753002335329.post-134806063369174785</id><published>2010-10-18T03:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-18T03:27:11.317-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pattaya Gay Vacations'/><title type='text'>Two Guys Newsletter</title><content type='html'>&lt;p  style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;font-family:Times New Roman;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Twoguys Guest House&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Welcome to  Pattaya ,Thailand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Sept./Oct  Newsletter &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Greetings from a Soggy Pattaya, we are now in the latter part of the wet season and are getting a lot of rain.&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately most of the down pour is early morning time so it does not interrupt the cultural activities of most the visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about visitors, we are seeing many new faces here at Two Guys, We have visitors from Hawaii, Ireland, New Zealand, Belgium, Singapore, Japan , China and a very cute young Russian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill is a new visitor to Pattaya, he normally visits Phuket and was told that a week in Pattaya and he would be bored.&lt;br /&gt;He is here this time on sick leave as he was suffering from stress induced problems.&lt;br /&gt;Originally he was booked in for 10 days but when he discovered all his stress problems had gone and how much fun he was having he extended another 10 days.&lt;br /&gt;He could not believe the range of bars Sunee had to offer and how friendly the bar workers were.The other morning he sitting with 3 pieces of paper in his hand and complaining that they were telephone numbers given to him from the night before and he couldn't remember who they were from.&lt;br /&gt;He definitely has not let the grass grow under his feet, I see him with new companions every day, sometimes as many as three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;News around Sunee;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wan's Cafe is now open for business and seems to be doing good, they have managed to find new staff, and some of them are very cute. One of the customers from Two Guys has been a regular there and has enjoyed being pampered by the staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old Balkan Express has reopened as a beer bar called "What Else", I dropped in for a beer, quite reasonable prices (50 B for a Leo)&lt;br /&gt;I was greeted effusively by the Mama San who arranged for a staff member to sit beside me, unfortunately he could speak no english except for "buy me a drink" an offer that I declined.&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after that the Mama San also offered to fetch a drink for him, again an offer I declined. As beer bars go it was OK to sit there and watch the world go by,I found the staff to be a little bit pushy, maybe because they are new and trying to hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Old Villa Rouge is in the final Stages of getting ready for opening, I have heard that it is someone connected with Hollywood Disco who is the owner. They are off up country at the moment looking for new staff and dancers. There are going to be Coyote dancers, but I don't know yet if there will a proper show or just dancers lining the wall like Dave Man's club .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stopped off on my rounds of Sunee at The CU Bar (Duck from old Balkan Express) and got chatting to Bill and was sucking on a beer or two, next thing we are given a plate of Tab Nabs, (samplers of the food that Duck has on offer) Bill and his companion enjoyed the Kebab sausages and I took charge of the mini spicy burgers. They were served with toasted Pita bread covered in a very tasty secret sauce. Duck says that food is available from opening to closing time. Prices here are very reasonable 50 B for domestic beer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My other late night hang out is the Forest bar, where I have been ogling a cute staff member or two, both have very nice smiles and I enjoy the cerebal topics we discuss.&lt;br /&gt;I use this as my base of operations when I am doing my research of Sunee for the Two Guys Newsletter&lt;br /&gt;There are quite a few new staff there, all very pleasant and still willing to give you a thrashing at a game of pool any time you want to play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an Amusing Story as told to me by Bob from Denmark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had been out shopping and returned to Two Guys,&lt;br /&gt;Bob was sitting outside reading a book and when he saw me arrive his face broke into a huge grin,&lt;br /&gt;he said I have been waiting to share this with somebody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob was in his usual seat outside on the terrace reading his book and occasionally watching the world go by on the Soi.&lt;br /&gt;He said that he noticed a motorbike draw up in the small alleyway across from Two Guys.&lt;br /&gt;The driver got off,  parked his bike and removed a towel that he had around his neck and laid it out on the motor bike seat to dry. he then went off to do whatever business he came for.&lt;br /&gt;Bob noticed that the towel had slid off the seat a bit and was hanging down over the rear wheel but seemed to be stable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little while later one of the cats that terrorize the neighborhood came prowling down the alleyway and stopped at the motor bike and had a sniff at the overhanging towel.&lt;br /&gt;Bob said the cat obviously thought someone new was moving into his territory so he turned around and proceeded to spray the overhanging towel with his scent then stalked off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 10 minutes later the driver of the motorbike and a companion arrived back, The driver picked up the towel, draped it around his neck and got on the bike followed by his companion getting on the back.&lt;br /&gt;The guy back seat lent forward to talk to the driver and Bob said you could see his face screw up when he got a whiff of the cats calling card.&lt;br /&gt;He said something to the driver who by then was looking around him to see where the awful smell came from. Eventually the pong was traced to the towel which was hastily removed from around the drivers neck and discarded.&lt;br /&gt;By the end of the story Bob was cackling to himself so hard he was red in the face and having to stop and take breaths.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7068466753002335329-134806063369174785?l=twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/feeds/134806063369174785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2010/10/two-guys-newsletter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/134806063369174785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/134806063369174785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2010/10/two-guys-newsletter.html' title='Two Guys Newsletter'/><author><name>TwoGuys Guesthouse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00012009452303289880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068466753002335329.post-8926021665910973760</id><published>2010-09-09T22:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-09T23:13:27.913-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gay Vacations'/><title type='text'>Two Guys Guest house  Aug/Sept.  Newsletter</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Welcome to  Pattaya ,Thailand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good day to you all, welcome to Observations and Discombobulated  Ramblings of a Gay Guesthouse owner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Month I have more stories from customers that were kind enough to share their experiences with me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Are you sitting comfortably, well lets begin!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First lets get the sad news out of the way, another Bar has closed in Sunee,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Memories Music Bar &lt;/span&gt;closed mid month, I am led to  believe that Ian &amp;amp; Leigh decided to call it a day after a very low season and less customers than normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not staying shut for long as Wan of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wan's Cafe &lt;/span&gt;and also Wan's Bar has acquired the business and intends to move the operations from the Soi Yensabai location that he just sold to the vacant memories bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The new name for the cafe is yet to be decided. They hope to cater to Thai and Farang customers. I think this may be a good addition for Sunee, I have heard people in the past  mentioning that there was no Cafe for farangs in Sunee.&lt;br /&gt;I wish them lots of luck and hope they do well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Some Good news from Sunee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I visited &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wonderland Gogo &lt;/span&gt;bar after hearing good reviews of the show. (Last month I called it Happy Land, sorry for messing with your heads)&lt;br /&gt;They had some cute dancers and the show was a good as most that I have seen in Pattaya.&lt;br /&gt;The bonus is that after the show they now have some very personable non dancers on stage as well.&lt;br /&gt;There are two shows nightly and the dance routines are changed regularly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also visited &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yaya bar&lt;/span&gt; for the first time and was warmly greeted by Ya himself, I was made to feel welcome with some very nice staff circulating&lt;br /&gt;and not at all pushy. I will certainly be going back there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mike's Bar LaCage&lt;/span&gt; has been running his Friday Fish and Chip night for over a month now and it is proving to be very popular, 26 people turned up at the last one.&lt;br /&gt;Remember this is in the depth of the low season), The food is supplied piping hot from the Village Chippy on Third road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike is also running a quiz competition after the food is scarfed, all are welcome to participate. There is also an accumulating bonus round at the end of the quiz, if the bonus is not won it is rolled over and added to next weeks offering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been hanging around &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Forest bar&lt;/span&gt; at the weekends its good for catching up on the gossip and just sitting there you can watch all the action taking place on the corner around that part of Sunee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The staff are pleasant and some are willing to give you a thrashing at pool anytime you are willing to challenge them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is funny to see their actions when they win, I am often smiling as I watch them joyfully jump up and down flapping their arms in the air and squealing their happiness. Only in Pattaya &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stopped into &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oud's Bar&lt;/span&gt; for a gab with Jack and Ralph. Jack has been spending his quiet time making paintings on his computer. I saw some of them and they were very good, they looked quite stunning when presented in a frame. Talk nicely to Jack and he might take you in the back and show you his etchings.&lt;br /&gt;Ralph told me that they are getting ready for a holiday to the States and Costa Rica soon. Ralph was also saying the bar has a hard time keeping staff, seems the customers like them so much they keep taking them as long termboyfriends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up at &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dave's Man Club&lt;/span&gt; one Saturday night with Bill and Tan from Bangkok. All of us should have known better as we had already imbibed plenty (those of you with uncharitable thoughts might well read pissed), but what the hell life is short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  turned out that the club was hosting a foam party and was jumping with lots of happy young Thai men willing to go into the foam and get all wet. Now have you seen young Thai guys with their shirts and pants clinging to their sinuous slim bodies, a sight not to be missed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was standing near the stage, watching a smiling cute young guy who was on the stage dancing to his partner on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;This lithe young man had obviously been in the foam because you could see the outline of his body undulating as he danced to the music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the music finished he nodded to his partner, who reached up for him, put his arms around him just below bum level and lifted him of the stage.&lt;br /&gt;He then relaxed his hold on the dancer just enough to allow him to slide down to floor level, the friction of the grip pulling up the dancers pants showing the shape of his well formed bum,&lt;br /&gt;and at the same time pulling his T shirt up to reveal his gleaming wet torso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the dancer was safely standing, his partner slowly pulled the T shirt above his head and gave him a big open mouth kiss. At the same time dropping the wet T shirt on the floor and slipping his hands over the wet skin, down the back of his pants and then pulling them together.   This has to be one of the most erotic things I have ever witnessed&lt;br /&gt;( maybe it was because I was tired and emotional)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;David&lt;/span&gt; is an interesting customer was here on a short visit from Taiwan. He hails from England originally and now lives in Taiwan with his partner.&lt;br /&gt;He is semi retired and does courier work for a major airline, he also has done bit parts in ad's for and local TV due to the lack of westerners available. &lt;br /&gt;Seemingly there are not to many westerners that go to visit Taiwan let alone stay so he is in a minority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He explained that in Taiwan the unmarried live at home with their parents so most of the gay action is in Hotels, Guesthouses or other places.&lt;br /&gt;He lives in a small industrialized town with no formal Gay establishments but plenty of action.&lt;br /&gt;David likes to go walking in a local park and is often approached by young men wishing to practice their English!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says a lot of the young men like older westerners and he has been offered to be taken out for a meal and taxis home just so they can get to practice their English in a more informal setting. Now that is my idea of how we should be treated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I very recently had an &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;irate email&lt;/span&gt; from a would be customer who turned up for breakfast at 07.00 and found only the night security staff on duty.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately the web site does advertise breakfast at 07.00 and this had been pointed out to me once before so I should have been at least apologetic even contrite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when you open up your email first thing in the morning and read advice like  CHANGE YOUR F**KING WEBSITE this does not put you in a diplomatic frame of mind.&lt;br /&gt;I was quite restrained and merely told him to "piss off". Reading between the lines of his subsequent emails I don't think I won him over as he was threatening to expose me on the forums. Maybe I shouldn't have told him to get a life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Happenings  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Amore&lt;/span&gt; in Boyztown due to reopen soon according to the new sign "Street Life – Art Gallery, Delicatessen, Wine Bar" called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Sweet Happenings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Happy Boys&lt;/span&gt;, (which is on my list of favorites) now have a new web site up and running http://www.happyboysbar.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Copa Bar &lt;/span&gt;Boystown is having a second aniversary bash 18 Sept. appearing on stage will be Miss Jason&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mike's Bar leCage&lt;/span&gt; is having a live music night with Rose and Guests Sept 15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pelican Crossings&lt;/span&gt;, pedestrian crossings with flashing lights have now been installed at a couple of places in Pattaya.&lt;br /&gt;None are working yet and the interest by jaded cynics on their operation and functioning is high. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once Again some news items swiped from PG report and Nicky's&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7068466753002335329-8926021665910973760?l=twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/feeds/8926021665910973760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2010/09/two-guys-guest-house-augsept-newsletter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/8926021665910973760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7068466753002335329/posts/default/8926021665910973760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twoguysguesthouse.blogspot.com/2010/09/two-guys-guest-house-augsept-newsletter.html' title='Two Guys Guest house  Aug/Sept.

We are now getting our daily rain showers and fortunately a lot of it is at night. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although I have sometimes had to stay in the bar late evenings/ early mornings because the rain.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is another quiet season, mainly because of the economic climate and the fracas in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bangkok&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; causing many visitors to find other countries to visit.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;We have taken advantage&lt;/b&gt; of the quiet time to do some maintenance like fixing leaks, laying new tiles&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;and re-grouting the tiles in the showers. The staff did most of the work they were quite surprised when I first told them I wanted the work done, but were quite happy to be kept occupied (and in a job) rather than them sitting around on their duffs all day staring into space.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I had a customer in for early breakfast yesterday&lt;/b&gt;. He had just closed his bar (07.30) and was hungry so he stopped off at Two Guys for the # 1 breakfast with double everything.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I sat at the table with him having my own breakfast and generally catching up on the gossip from Sunee.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As I was chatting away to him he looked out onto the Soi and suddenly went rigid, he had a look on his face like a greyhound dog that just caught a glimpse of a rabbit. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I turned round to see what he was looking at and saw the son of the Thai Restaurant owner from over the street.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now this young man is 18 and severely handsome, about 5Ft 9” tall, not a bit of fat on him and very a well defined body, broad shoulders, nicely proportioned chest tapering into a thin waist and long tanned legs complimenting the view.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He gets up every morning at about 07.30-08.00 and strolls around the restaurant in his boxer shorts, quite oblivious to the outside world. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;At this time of the morning I usually stand at the bar, on the lookout, pretending to read the paper. I also have a mug of tea handy to catch the drools when he makes his appearance.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I must confess to having been quite selfish keeping this little treat to myself, only the customers that get up early have rumbled my early morning voyeurism. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another customer&lt;/b&gt; that I have told you about before (Bob) &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;never fails to keep me entertained with his stories.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He has led quite a remarkable life from the day he was born until the present. I know he will be annoyed when I tell you that he is 90 and still chasing young men.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He was born to a single mother and was a very sick baby. When he was taken home to the family farm, they took him out to the cow shed and left him overnight on a floor covered straw and cow manure, this was to see if he would survive. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;His grandfather who was a member of a rigid religious group never acknowledged him, his grandmother used to call him her ugly duckling. As a child he could not understand why everybody was angry with him and what he had done wrong. This caused him to leave home as early as he could and become a drifter. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He ended up in &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;New   York&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; as a Chorus Line dancer with a passion for writing poetry and mixed in with the literary circle of the day. There he met many notable people among them was the writer Christopher Isherwood who became a life long friend. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Bob recounts that after a couple of meetings, Isherwood told him that they were destined to be together as lovers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Isherwood explained that a Gypsy fortuneteller had told him that he would meet someone tall, who was a dancer, a poet, came from the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Midwest&lt;/st1:place&gt; and had an R in their name. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Bob said it was a load of horse manure; Isherwood was spinning him a line just to try and get into his pants.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although they stayed lifelong friends he never did sleep with him &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last week&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Peter B&lt;/b&gt; a customer who is relocating to &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Korea&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; brought in two bags of good quality clothes that he did not have room in his suitcase for. He knew that in the past I have arranged for them to go to people in need.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This time one bag went to &lt;b&gt;Thais for life&lt;/b&gt;, they distribute them to a local foundation that is known to support the needy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The other bag went to the &lt;b&gt;Karen refugee school&lt;/b&gt; in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Bangkok&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; that I wrote about in an earlier newsletter. Any&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;left over garments wont be thrown away they will be sent to the students home villages in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Burma&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If any body has unused reasonable clothing and don’t know what to do with them, drop them off at Two Guys Guesthouse. We can always find someone who will be thankful for it.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Two Weeks ago&lt;/b&gt; I was told about this best selling author and his books, The Millennium Trilogy is a series of three bestselling novels written by Stieg Larsson, 21 million copies sold. (I had never heard of him before)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am sure you are the same as myself and always looking for a good book to read and thought I wish I could find some list where the ordinary punter lists his favorite reads or the best book he ever read.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I would like to start such a list and ask you to offer (email me at two Guys) one book title that others may enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If I receive enough replies I will update the list monthly and include it as part of the newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My contribution of books that I enjoyed are &lt;b&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Memoirs of a Geisha&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;self explanatory and a bloody good&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;                                                                                                                                                            read.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some of the BoyzTown&lt;/b&gt; establishments are in the process of getting a face lift. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Café Royal&lt;/b&gt; has had some major work done inside.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Copa&lt;/b&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A &lt;b&gt;new Lady boy bar &lt;/b&gt;has opened in Soi 17, lots of money spent on it and lots of staff hanging around.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Its situated in the new building just across the road from the Mink restaurant, near Shisa house.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I was at the &lt;b&gt;Corner Bar&lt;/b&gt; for Tomas’s birthday bash, and quite an evening it was. The pool table was &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;used to display the food buffet with lots of variety, sandwiches , canapés (I call them Tab Nabs),&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;fried chicken strips, roast beef , roast pork, salads and fresh fruit.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The majority of waiters were topless and with the fashion now a days (their pants hanging of their ass) almost bottomless. There was lots of good entertainment with one performer singing and playing his acoustic guitar .&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We also had a (civilized) farang karaoke, with a very proficient singer playing many of the standards that the audience requested. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am afraid I could not concentrate on the music as I was getting distracted by one very handsome waiter&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;dancing about topless and who’s pants were almost at his crotch, every time the pants got to the tripping point &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;he would deftly give them a little flick upwards for them to start the whole descending cycle again, believe me it was eve riveting stuff.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Some of the other &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;waiters also gave impromptu dances much to the appreciation of the other customers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Once the Birthday Cake was cut and given out the waiters started smearing each other with the cream, I was temped to join in but knew it might get out of hand. (Think what you like)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A good night was had by all and the party was still going on when I left at 23.00.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Take Care everybody.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;John&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;Good day to you all, welcome to more ramblings of a Gay Guesthouse owner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;This Month I have some more tales and experiences to relate to you. I am assured that they are all true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;I was telling a customer an amusing tale of my first time in Pattaya and going into a 7-11 shop to buy some condoms. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia;"&gt;I will tell you that story later , anyway he topped my story with his about his first visit to a Pattaya Pharmacy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Pharmacy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Or should I say his friends visit. Ken being a rather shy gentleman was in need of some KY gel and was to embarrassed to go into the shop and ask for it. His friend P who was no Pattaya virgin volunteered to go get it for him while Ken stood outside the shop looking in. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;P entered the shop and had a look around the display shelves and not, finding any KY gel went to the counter and spoke to the owner.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Unfortunately the owner could not speak much English and did not understand what P had asked for. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Ken watched from outside as P used sign language to try and communicate his wishes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;He did this by holding up his left hand and making a circle with his finger and thumb and &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;used the index finger of his right hand to simulate a pumping action. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Ken said The Pharmacist looked on in horror then threw up his hands, angrily waving them about saying no hab.... no hab, illegal in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Thailand&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;P realizing that he was being misunderstood asked the pharmacist what was illegal, whereupon the Pharmacist told him that he thought he was asking for a dildo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;I never did find out if ken got his KY gel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7-11 Shopping&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my first visit to Pattaya I was in need of some condoms and visited the 7-11 on the corner of beach road with my companion that&lt;br /&gt;I had met in BoyzTown. I also being quite shy had waited until no other customers were at the counter, slid up to the server and laid my items to be purchased in a heap on the counter.&lt;br /&gt;There was Lots of snacks and junk food and buried deep among this was the packet of condoms.&lt;br /&gt;All went well until the counter assistant picked up the condoms looked at them and said "no take". I said yes I want , No he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then called over to another assistant and had a loud conversation in Thai, both examining the packet of condoms and gesturing towards me.&lt;br /&gt;This attracted the attention of everybody in the shop and they all were having a good look at the condoms and myself. Exactly the opposite of the situation I wanted to happen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this time there were a number of people at the counter including my companion all a discussing the condoms and the word "Falang" being bandied about. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;The counter assistant and my companion then went to the condom rack and brought back all the various condoms and proceeded to examine each type. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;My companion finally decided which type was suitable and with a triumphant flourish held up the pack for all to give their approval.&lt;br /&gt;Exiting the shop feeling thoroughly humiliated I asked my companion what the F**K  had just happened.&lt;br /&gt;I was informed I had picked a packet of condoms that were sized for the Thai customer and they had to find ones suitable for the Falang.&lt;br /&gt;I must admit they fitted quite well and all was forgiven later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happenings around The Soi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last month was a busy social time, it seemed that there was a party every other night&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;demanding my attention.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Mike at Bar LaCage had his 60&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Birthday bash on the 22 June and it was a brilliant night (what I remember of it) The entertainment consisted of a solo Guitarist who I just caught the end of his act, he was obviously good because the customers gave him a good send off. Following him was a team of acrobats and entertainers who interacted with the audience very well. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Other performers were two sets of singers…. Rose and Andre were up first and they performed lots of music requests keeping the atmosphere buzzing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Next up Was Jeffrey Vernon, Jeffrey who is over 60 and does a fabulous job of covering songs made popular by Frank Sinatra. I think he got the largest ovation of the evening.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;After Jeffery was Mz Edith Crep Drag Artist and entertainer, bussed in especially from Jomtien to do a one time performance. She had a good time smooching with the crowd and tickling the customers fancy. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Rose and Andre finished up the evenings entertainment and by this time just about everybody was quite merry and the till was quite full.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Mike was grinning like a Cheshire cat for a couple of days after.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Other Happenings ;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Ya Ya Bar had their official opening on the 28 June, the new owner is a pleasant guy as is his staff&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Wonderland has recruited some new staff and the show is getting better all the time,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;They are still doing two shows a night, more power to them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;I stopped into the new Wan’s Bar and had a pleasant time chatting to Colin (Colin &amp;amp; Wan)&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;and ogling the staff. The new bar is a double unit and quite spacious, still good for watching the comings and goings at the top end of the Soi.&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Last weekend I stopped into my other local The Forest Bar and found a Triple birthday party in progress, rounds of beer were being bought fast and furious and the birthday boys were certainly out to have a good time. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;I left around 01.00 and the party was still going strong. Martin told me it went on very, very late &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;One new bar in BoyzTown area, used to be Bubbles now called &lt;st1:street st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:address st="on"&gt;Happy Place&lt;/st1:address&gt;&lt;/st1:street&gt;. They do an erotic show at the weekend and I am told the place is stand up only when the show is on. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Get There early &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Things are quiet now in Pattaya and it seems it is going to be a low season all round, the Gay businesses seem to be faring a little bit better than most.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;More tales next month, I had a story about someone entertained the famous poet Dylan Thomas at his house but I managed to misplace it.

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Month&lt;/b&gt; I told you about a handsome young man I met at the Forest Bar and to let you understand &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Just how common it is to meet friendly young men here I will tell you about another Person that it happened to.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;David turned up for breakfast in the company of a slim handsome young stunner; he was very quiet and did not&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;speak much to any of the Farangs but did speak to Ak our waiter /cook/cashier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This tall, slim young man was wearing the pants that are fashionable just now and are made of a slightly stretchy material. They are designed to cling to the form of the body and can best be described as showing the curves and natural shape of the body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Some people don’t suit them but on this young man they sure did, one could say they were revealing.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Naturally (out of pure envy) I asked David about his companion, he said (rubbing salt in the wound) that he was a sweetheart and he had met him in a Family Mart convenience store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;They had met at the counter at the same time, David not being shy said hello to the young man and was rewarded with a smiling reply. They then met outside the shop and continued their conversation finding out that they had much in common. The upshot was David invited the young man back to his room and they have been companions since then.       &lt;u&gt;Once again &lt;/u&gt;Only in Pattaya can and does this happen to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Interesting Customers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Being a curious person (uncharitable people say I am a nosey bugger) I like to find out about the background&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt; of the customers that visit Two Guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;I happened to be speaking to a couple of dudes that comes down from &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bangkok&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; regularly and they mentioned that they are volunteer English tutors in a Karen refugee center.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;All the students escaped from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Burma&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Thailand&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and they come to the refugee center to learn English so they will be able to get a minimum wage job in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bangkok&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;The students are male and female, young and committed to bettering themselves and supporting their family’s back home. The youngest is a 17 year boy named Joey (they adopt English names) who walked for 8 days through the Jungles of Burma and over the Thai mountains to get to the center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;The centre require the students to put up 2,000 B each per month which is matched with 3,000 B grant.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;The students are so hungry for knowledge that they hang on every word and write everything you say down in their note books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Tommy tells this story;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Once when I was talking and writing on the whiteboard  I forgot my next thought and unconsciously said “shit” aloud. I turned around and they were all staring at me with wide open eyes having just finished writing in their books and were now waiting for the explanation. I then had to go round the class and make sure that they had only written their books what I had put on the board and not what I had said. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;If anybody is interested in more information,Volunteering time or making a donation you can contact &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Tommy at… bkktommy@gmail.com&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;or Richard at…&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"   &gt;&lt;a href="mailto:richard_behm@yahoo.com" title="richard_behm@yahoo.com"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;color:black;" &gt;richard_behm@yahoo.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Every Cloud has a Silver Lining&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The recent slump the Thai economy does have some beneficial side effects. I frequent GayRomeo&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gayromeo.com/"&gt;www.gayromeo.com&lt;/a&gt; a gay site that has&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;a section for pattaya. In this you can meet many young men wanting to &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;date or just chat, (be warned many are not what they tell you).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;During the recent down turn I have had many more people contacting me asking to chat or meet. One that especially comes to mind is a young romantic that in the past won the best bum in Pattaya competition.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He previously stated on his profile “anybody over 35 need not bother me “ ,( I am past this by just a few years) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Out of curiosity I answered him and asked why he was now hitting on Papas as they like to call them. He replied that he liked Papas very much and he had his friend write his previous profile as he did not understand English. Now I am not proud or vindictive and just to prove my point I made a date and had a very enjoyable evening out with him…...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happenings in Pattaya&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sundance Bar has been sold and after major renovation&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;has reopened as&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Yaya, There will be a Grand opening Party June 26.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eros GoGo is opened again, I popped in and was pleasantly surprised, not many dancers but reasonable quality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mike Bar LaCage has now been transformed and I must say that he has done a good job.

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Month&lt;/b&gt; I mentioned that I was at a party In The Forest bar and was given an unexpected treat.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I was sitting at the bar and watching the people coming and going in the bar and outside and minding &lt;u&gt;everybody’s&lt;/u&gt; business.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When I spied a slightly pissed handsome young man sitting at a table with his friends....&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;They had a bottle of whiskey on the table and they were playing the drinking game where the loser has to “chug a lug” or “down in a gulp” a shot of whiskey.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He was taller than normal probably about 5’10”, slim, very handsome, slightly round face, almond shaped eyes, large eyelashes and a large mouth with full lips. Plus a dazzling smile. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Anyway I happened to catch this particular cuties eye and was rewarded with a slightly shy smile when I winked at him. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As the evening wore on I noticed that he was looking over in my direction more and more and smiling each time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I of course was playing it Mr. cool trying not to get caught leering in is direction.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;On one of his frequent visits to the toilet I said hello to him and asked his name and then told him he was very handsome. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This seemed to please him a lot, so much that he put his arms around my neck and gave me a big juicy kiss direct on the mouth. His mouth completely covering mine, his cushion like lips soft and warm.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The effect almost knocked me off my bar stool and left me speechless, as he said thank you and returned to his table.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I had to turn to face the bar to avoid other punters in the bar noticing the adolescent reaction this had on me.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Every time after that, when he returned from the toilet, I was rewarded with another mind-blowing kiss combined with his lower regions being pushed against my knee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eventually I managed to get him to sit and have a drink with me and as he could not abandon his friends that evening we made a date for later in the week.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We have been out a couple of times since and enjoyed each others company completel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Only in Pattaya can and does this happen to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another True Story&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A Gay friend of mine, who just moved into a new condo and frequented the gym there, struck up an acquaintance with one of the other residents also using the gym.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;After a couple of conversations on different occasions about things in general, the new acquaintance mentioned that he had a medical problem that had plagued him for years. (Don’t ask me what it was, I was told but I forget)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;His gay friend told him of a remedy that he should try as it was a common ailment with Gays. (He then made the point; I’m not gay myself by the way)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The upshot of it was” K” told his new acquaintance that he was Gay, only to be told in a stunned voice &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But you can’t be.... Why not said “K” &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;"Because we were both talking about football the previous conversation we had" replied the crestfallen acquaintance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Siem Reap Visit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_zjwrVyTI/AAAAAAAAAEA/W-puEwK_430/s1600/AWinnerEntrance.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_zjwrVyTI/AAAAAAAAAEA/W-puEwK_430/s320/AWinnerEntrance.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467356268338727218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_y2iBwGVI/AAAAAAAAAD4/fGigW7phsE8/s1600/Bayone.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_y2iBwGVI/AAAAAAAAAD4/fGigW7phsE8/s320/Bayone.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467355491312081234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The inside entrance to Angkor Wat                      Bayon , Angkor Thom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I have just been to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Cambodia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat.&lt;br /&gt;I decided to miss the water festival this year and took 4 days off, 16 to 20 may.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We traveled by car to the Thai/Cambodian border, parked the car at a secure car park (100B/ day) and picked up a taxi to Siem Reap about 1-1/2 hours and cost a whopping $60 between 3 of us.&lt;br /&gt;Getting through the border controls was relatively quick going and coming back with the help of some enterprising gentlemen.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Cambodian visa that we got at the border cost 1000 B&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I found the Thai and Cambodian immigration officials were very helpful. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I had a very interesting time in Siem Reap and stayed in an old French Colonial style Guest House near down town which had been renovated about two years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S-AA_uYD5vI/AAAAAAAAAFY/a9uFGXnuD6g/s1600/SIfancy+ceilings.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S-AA_uYD5vI/AAAAAAAAAFY/a9uFGXnuD6g/s320/SIfancy+ceilings.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467371042408490738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S-ABdZhllbI/AAAAAAAAAFg/haPtbJ6sh4k/s1600/SIUpperTerrace.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S-ABdZhllbI/AAAAAAAAAFg/haPtbJ6sh4k/s320/SIUpperTerrace.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467371552207377842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hall ways in the guesthouse                The Upstairs Terrace in the Guesthouse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Everything here is priced in American dollars and most of the young people speak English.&lt;br /&gt;Most of the businesses in the downtown have young security guards and they are all severely cute. I ogled one on my last night here and was rewarded with a huge smile. I wished I had met him at the start.  But I am going back in June and now I know where he works I will be checking him out for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Angkor Wat&lt;/b&gt; was just unbelievable......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The massive size of the place is to be seen to be believed, and what I found mind blowing was all the buildings were constructed using stone upon stone and no mortar or binding used to seal the joints. The attention to detail and the fitting of blocks to each other in the construction is phenomenal considering the basic tools they were working with.    &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I got some advice from others guests at the &lt;b&gt;Seven In&lt;/b&gt; (Martin, Forest Bar &amp;amp; Martin from Jomtien) did some research and went to the Angkor Wat museum in the town as recommended by my advisers. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;That way I was able to decide what interested me and save me walking all over the place. You can literally spend weeks there looking it is so big.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_0gxr7n7I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/zZHwb0HIkEo/s1600/LauraCroftMOvie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_0gxr7n7I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/zZHwb0HIkEo/s320/LauraCroftMOvie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467357316581662642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_0St9klAI/AAAAAAAAAEI/dnxgUhP9rCU/s1600/dance+floor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S9_0St9klAI/AAAAAAAAAEI/dnxgUhP9rCU/s320/dance+floor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467357075063739394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is  where they shot part of the Laura croft movie I am told.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;To do the tour of Angkor Wat I hired a Tuk Tuk that was attached to a motorbike, the cost for the day $12 US.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I planned to visit 3 parts of the huge site, the Tuk Tuk driver waiting around to ferry me to the next venue.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Unfortunately the original driver was nowhere to be seen after the first drop off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Fortunately I had not paid him anything. I found out later other people had used this same driver and they had to go find him as he had gone off for a sleep and expected the customers to wait for him to wake up.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; I gave him half an hour and then went looking for another very cute driver probably no older that 19 that had been touting for business earlier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I found him sitting in the shade with his friend who spoke excellent English and we agreed a price for the rest of the trip around the site.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;While we were driving around I had a very nice view of the drivers well proportioned lovely butt. As it was hot he had removed his shirt showing off his lean torso topped with a rippling set of shoulders (all this for $ 8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;At the end of the day as we drove back to the Guesthouse it started to rain quite heavily. The effect of the rain water glistening on the driver’s skin, highlighting the constantly moving lines and curves while he was wrestling with the motorbike was quite mesmerizing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When we got to the guest house I tried to make conversation with him and ask him if he wanted to come to my room and dry off. But unfortunately he did not understand a lot of English and there was no staff around to do any translation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As I was bidding him farewell after paying him, I told him “you come back tonight we party”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I could see the wheels turning in his brain, then comprehension as he replied&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;“yes I party my boyfriend tonight” and he drove off&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;with a happy wave. Bugger! I need to learn more Cambodian than thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Floating Communities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also did a visit to a floating restaurant on this huge lake where many people live on boats.

I noticed all the boats propeller shafts were almost horizontal and one had to be careful to slow down when passing by each other in the shallow river, otherwise everybody got splattered with muddy water getting thrown up by the propellers.

The other bar was overpriced and zilch atmosphere, we ended up back in the guesthouse that night having more fun with the waiters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;The following night we went to a supposedly Katoy bar, but this was also disappointment as it was stacked out with young women. AAhhg!&lt;br /&gt;Later on into our stay I heard about a “late night” club that was supposed to jumping with genuine cuties, that's on the list for investigation next time as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went out to eat a couple of nights and there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from,&lt;br /&gt;I tried Cambodian food for the first time and found it to be quite delicious.&lt;br /&gt;The food at the guest house was also very good and I especially liked the baguette sandwiches&lt;br /&gt;that were served in the afternoons, made with wonderful fresh bread&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happenings in Pattaya&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;May 5 , Birthday party for Gun (a very pleasant person) of Euroboys&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S-AE_6eisFI/AAAAAAAAAFo/0WQEpxaTqm8/s1600/ebgunbd.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J7JaDU7owvY/S-AE_6eisFI/AAAAAAAAAFo/0WQEpxaTqm8/s320/ebgunbd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467375443703410770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;SPI&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;(Sunny Plaza.
