Ah, Tilac. Some fond memories... I liked it for the front porch, hang out, watching the passing throng, BG's out for a bite to eat, punters with their pulls... 3 ring circus. Then inside, the what, 4...

This works, BUT... Depending on how heavy you travel, you can get bitten. Coming back from a home leave, I booked 2 tickets, home to BKK and BKK to a sand box. Leaving the US, you get 2 bags, 50 lbs...

Sometimes you loose sight of the big picture. I remember once I was bargaining with a girl and we couldn't seem to reach an agreement. Then it hit me, I was balking at the equivalent of $10 USD......

Every place I've been, every year, I hear this over and over again, for decades. Yes, visitors might spoil a few places, but Bangkok is a fairly big playground. The market is controlled by supply and...

At Tulip, it's a set fee for service, payable in advance at the desk, based on time. However, some do tip based on the level of service but tipping is OPTIONAL here.

Damn, EXACTLY what I was...

Excellent advice, though it is just common sense. Yes, it's business, but just like when you were working, there were some customers you enjoyed being with, and others you couldn't wait to get out of...

Gee, another gift in my Christmas stocking. Thanks. Big smile.

Interesting question, "Can someone... ", but that's not really THE question, is it? THE question would be: "Will someone..."

Now, if only there were places, threads, in the Thailand section that...

FIRST, you need to be a member or enough posts (25?, been so long, can't remember and the FAQ is a bit unclear) to have a PM capability. Nice FR, but will 2nd the notion that LB's are not the...

Yes, that's always THE question: what will you do if someone comes to you saying they've been trafficked and asking for help? Or if they're sick, need a doctor, but no money... Could be true, could...

For a very (I say select, you say OLD) group:

"READ?" said in the voice of Maynard G Krebbs...

Besides this thread, there's always the ROD's, and there is the venerable UTFSE.

And chime in,...

Nyezhov and I don't agree on a lot of things, well make that most things, but this is one I have to second. Certainly NOT unique to this forum, but damn... No, it doesn't crash the server, but it's...

Line is the instant messaging and social media app that just about all Thais use (the WeChat or WhatsApp of Thailand). Like those, it's more person to person rather than a forum. Seems they want to...

I say Basketball, because he bounces around so much, and has so much dribble (oops, that should be drivel).

SOL. RIP. Another institution that now exists only in fond memories.

Wow, reading comprehension is certainly a diminishing talent. Schweppes Manao? Nah, I like mine fresh and it's fun to banter...

A confession. I do wear branded t-shirts: In-and-Out. Just bought their 75 Anniversary one. And sandals. Flip flops are for showers, Teva's are for walking, F1's or Hurricane's. Didn't mean any...

You're concentrating on the clothes only. It's also who's wearing and the state of BOTH. Now, if you're hunched over and waiting to die... my condolences... Full disclosure: I wear a shirt with...

Ah yes, the 'Stani's. My most memorable was a Kyrgie. Interestingly, a number of Kyrgies have Korean heritage. She knew more places than I ever would (who knew you could have dinner at the DXB yacht...

Think you'll find those, like I said, sitting out on Beach Road, wife beater T (with beer or old rock band logo), shorts, flip flops, beer in hand, hunched over, waiting to die. Attitude goes both...

Yes (of course, it helps if you are old). Best indicator of future performance is past performance.

Don't need to be a king, don't need a queen, equals work rather well.

And "King" IS an...

When I visited, twice last month, I paid everything up front. But each time I had made a booking and I've known Ying for a long time. Both times I was there, morning, I was the only customer in the...

Shazam, mf. WELL DONE. I couldn't stop laughing as I read the report.

Well done, certainly lessons for newbies.

She's not a bank, and these days, even if she was, she wouldn't have change....

Seems a number of people don't plan ahead, a mindset of it won't happen to me. You get in an accident, heart attack, stroke, into the hospital. So who can access your funds to pay your bills,...

I too saw the large sign over the complex, still there, so went looking for it. I was just about to give up when the mamasan bartender came running out, "Beer Garden is HERE". It was, and I feel...

Yep, Granny likes to put her own prices on the tab, but at least there's a tab to see. The heavyset Mamasan is legit, and you did get the going price: 800/ BBBJ / per lady, lady drink 150, Singha 100...
