Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=Syzygies;2241911]Nope. Sounds like a girly movie. I vaguely remember seeing Phoebe Cates showering nude under a waterfall or something similar in a clip from some movie. Not Blue Lagoon, but similar. Probably did not actually watch any of her movies, or forgot which one. She might not have been slender enough for my taste. LOL

I remember an early computer game called "Adventure", possibly before your generation, which included going through a maze of "twisty Gnarly passages" (if remember right).[/QUOTE]There is a movie called GNAR. Google "GNAR McConkey".

[QUOTE=Goatscrot;2241909]Well, not really. A fried egg is not common on a hamburger in the US.[/QUOTE]I am not in US much and would have no clue where to get a decent burger there.

It is in my experience (my country at least and available Thailand) if ask for "the lot" or specifically requested it, from "Greasy Joe's" (I invented this name) hamburger shop, well before Maccas and Burger King and all that shit ever arrived. If I ask for the lot I expect it, but have to make sure they omit pineapple and beetroot and Mayo. Mayo is probably not traditional in my country and it makes such a sloppy mess. I prefer no butter for same reason. Cheese, salad, and cooked onions was always very important back home. With arrival of Maccas, we first saw burgers with raw onions, and pickles on them in my country. Maccas was just too horrible to bear, and most of the other chains similar but not much better.

In some countries, one of the most annoying things is they have no pepper to put on your burger, almost mandatory for me. Apparently German people as example, don't use pepper. @Corner bar (soi 23 and cowboy) does have pepper available, also does include egg and bacon in a burger "with the lot" but in Thailand I always had to ask for my onions to be fried. They know how I have my burger very well, so don't have to tell them anything any more. Just raise the finger to order one. Mayo and ketchup (or BBQ sauce or chili sauce) available but optional. You get to add to your own taste from a squeeze bottle.

In the context I used Gnarly, it means horrible or FUBAR. It can also mean fabulous, depending on the context, viz: Did ya see the traffic on Rama IV? Damn it was gnarly! As oppose to: Wow, did you see the ass on #237. Gnarly! Give me a spoon and a saltshaker.

Eggs on burgers are common on the menu in the US in non fast food joints. Give me a bacon cheeseburger with Egg, lettuce, Tomato, mayo and ketchup, hold the onion and pickle. That's a gnarly burger! Unless its underdone and ya get the trots from it, that is totally gnarly.

Its Valley Speak. Gag me with a spoon, homey.

So I was thinking about my experience with Dollar, who is otherwise a talented lover, a sweet, intelligent and articulate woman. Then I thought about my evening with a lady I picked up at Thermae 2 nights later, Nina. Walking around the packed bar she gave me the brightest smile. She was sitting in one of the booths, not standing like the others, drinking a bottle of beer. We talked quite a bit, she's 34, a slender tattooed pixie, her hair in long braids. I'the always wanted to have sex with a woman shorter than 5' tall and she fit the bill perfectly. Nina wanted another beer. So I was thinking this might be her way of dealing with sex with strangers for extra cash, she's a secretary during the day. Told me I reminded her of Bruce Willis, and that she only hooks up with guys she thinks look trustworthy. Then, as we are walking to my hotel she has me buy her another beer at a 7-11. OK, no problem, she's fun and doesn't look "wasted. " Funny, during our session I start giving her oral and she says "you Americans" like maybe the Asian guys don't go there much, I don't know. Anyway, she was small and tight, "you big for me" even though I'm just average size, but I enjoyed filling her up, immensely. After the clothes were back on she did a prayer ritual. Any of you guys ever experience something like that with a Thai woman right after or right before sex? I guess my main point of this post would be, after years of drinking to deal with freelancing (guilt or nervousness?) one might develop alcoholism? Dunno.

[QUOTE=TigressWanted;2241636]Dollar is in her early 40's, has natural C cup breasts, gave passionate BBBJs and lots of DFK. The next day I get a text message from her, "I miss you. " I'm thinking, cynically, she's having a slow day. But I walk to where she's at on Soi 11.

Thought I would be a gentleman and walk her back to my hotel. Get there, she's at a bar, I can't remember the name, and she's completely inebriated. Totally smashed. Can hardly stand up. Great, she's an alcoholic. Just gross. Tried to explain to her why I divorced someone similar and she just turned around and wobbled her way out the door. [/QUOTE]Very sorry to hear that. She wasn't drunk when I caught her, or rather she caught me, but she was certainly uninhibited. She sidled up to me at the bar at Biergarten and in the first minute or so told me that she wanted to drink my sperm, but she wadn't wobbly. Very aggressive, very affectionate, and she can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. She wears glasses for distance vision and looks cute in them. 1. 5 plus a Chang at the Biergarten and a Subway sandwich on the way to my hotel. I think she told me she's 43, never married, no babies, not in touch with her family any more. May be somewhat emotionally unstable, but I'm saying that based on her over-the-top sexual aggressiveness.

And she was very clear about her name. In fact I used a mix of dollars and baht to pay her.

Strangely Thais do pick English words for names, even when they can't pronounce it. E. g. "Ice" is a common one.

Thai word for Dollar is "Don" for the sound. E. g. 20 dollars is "yee-sip don".

English Pounds becomes "Bporn" in Thai. Unrecognisable. Cents becomes "sen" just recognisable. Laos money is Kip ("Geep".

RL.[/QUOTE]Okay Not quite sure why rice needs to added. LOL Instead of a bun. I would eat it and leave the rice most likely.

As a child I was given SPAM at a camp. I believe the kids put tomamto sauce on it (Ketchup). Was a rude shock, being used to "proper" ham. Wasn't nice. LOL Probably never touched it again. Thais do eat a lot of junky processed factory "meats" here, the balls "Luuk chin" they put in soup noodles for example, or BBQ on a stick. "Crab stick" or "seafood stick" heavily used, and many Thais prefer that over real sushi or sashimi at Fuji restaurant. LOL I don't touch this artificial stuff. No clue what chemicals are in it.

It is likely that chemicals in foods are killing us all very slowly, heart disease, cancers, dementia, etc. I try to avoid it, since we don't really know enough about the long term effects of chemicals, and highly processed foods. This means I have to gradually migrate myself to drink a lot more plain water, and use farm produce direct. Still a coffee addict.

Have you ever tried "Saai gork Issan" (Issan grilled sausage) sold on the roadside? I took one bite and spat it out. Close examination showed it contained rice, fat, grissle, spices, and very little meat to be found, so clearly only the trimmed off stuff normally discarded. I thoroughly recommend readers not to eat this, or even try if expecting a real sausage. The quality level is about a zero for me. Miles below Spam quality I am afraid.

Certainly never saw this after sex (nor before) unless intending to sleep.

My GF now goes through two or 3 bottles of beer a day. I would prefer her to limit to one. Putting on weight. I did not fear alcoholism so much. I drink much less than her, many days no alcohol.

Some bargirls are blown away blind drunk on nightly basis. This is a worry, but two or three leg openers, is not really that dangerous I think. Just depends if girl knows when to stop, and how habitual becomes drinking far too much.

Soi 23 between 2am and 3am is a sad sight for drunk girls, and pimps coming to pick them up.

1) Arriving at 10:20 pm on Nov. 19 on a Asiana flight in biz class. Is immigration usually bad at that time of night? Is there just 1 immigration line or will my biz class ticket get me in a faster one?

2) Any place in BKK to get an American style Thanksgiving meal on Nov. 22 and / or watch NFL football?

[QUOTE=TigressWanted;2242066] After the clothes were back on she did a prayer ritual. Any of you guys ever experience something like that with a Thai woman right after or right before sex?[/QUOTE]I've had that happen a bunch of times when they spent the night. I've also had girls who wai'd me before blowing me.

[QUOTE=Syzygies;2242259]Did she spell it for you? LOL okay Maybe right, probably a joke type working name.[/QUOTE]Could be a joke, could be real. About ten years ago I met a girl in Pattaya who's nick name was Stamp. Her father was working at a post office when she was born. I'm not kidding you.

Syzygies,

I eat all the stuff that scares you. Spam, Loco Moco (my fav and I'm looking for it in town, I think there is a place in Ari that serves it), Isaan Sausage, Blood Tofu. I temper my disgusting habits with lots of fruits and veggies, avoid alcohol, don't smoke ciggies any more and no weed here. I'm 63 and I hope I die on top of a 20 something with a belly full of Prime Rib. Much nice than being in a nursing home playing handball with my own shit.

Not sure on the arrival lanes.

For thanksgiving dinner check the 5 Star international hotels, St regis ETC. They usually have something of that sort. For football because of the time change not sure where it will be a good place to watch it
