Put me down starting on the 12th (arriving late). Hopefully I can stay until the 18th.

Giotto,

I sent an inquiry for a room between May 23-May 29 or 30, but have not heard back - been about 4 days.

What rates are available for that time?

Thanks

Sorry for that, should not be a problem at all, rooms are available.

How did you send the room request, via our Website?

Please send me a PM with your name and E-Mail address, that I can check what has happened. Usually you will hear from us within 24 hours after sending your room request.

Thanks

I have heard that it is unwise to return to a beer bar and going with a different woman. Is this the case at LL?

Giotto[/QUOTE]Giotto,

Will send you PM tomorrow once my ISG subscription goes through.

I also submitted another request through your website - for May 23 to 29.

Thanks

I have had a good time with multiple girls from the LL sports bar plus some from outside on different days.
So if I was unwise, then I was unaware of any consequences.
:D

What's a beer bar? Don't all bars have beer? ;)
Do they specialize in lots of different beers?
BTW, I don't drink beer but I drink just about everything else.

If the girls know you will be butterfly then NO problem.... if you lead one to think it is more then yes there could be a girl with hurt feeling (or hurt wallet). But basically if you are straight forward and honest and you want to sample many... then I never see problem at LL with that issue. The girls know guys want to taste many at times.

EDIT: Let me add... if you butterfly, I not ever see the girls at LL cause a problem or say anything bad or such.... I mean if you go one then go another the next night I not see any girl cause a problem before. It is of course a gentleman thing to buy the girl you nailed a drink the next night or following nights and still talk them... just my POV....

Let me say that Thai women are terrible to understand and predict. Don't even try to understand a Thai lady. If you find a guy that says they understand the Thai girls then call him a LIAR....

I'm not going to put this into the stories section as it would give out too much info (but I remember one from giotto similar in the misunderstanding) but let me just say that I had my nuts handed to me on a silver platter because of a misunderstanding. Misunderstand some language... some trust... some cultural... etc.... but my nuts were handed to me tonight. ;)

And our wonderful Friend and brother Giotto.... well he is a total BESTARD. Not only did he help out (yes he did help out), but he also laughed his arse off and I got to provide a little bit of humour into his day. For that laugh I expect full course meal on the house of course. Serioulsy however... it is help from Bestards like Giotto and 1Ball and Mick and others that make going to the lodge and meeting folks that much fun and enjoyable. So I'm glad it's there.

The moment you think you understand.... is the moment to rethink your thought process. And the funny damn thing is that everything turned out to my advantage and benefit. So I went out and kicked the crap out of my dog and yelled at folks and gave Giotto a perfect laugh at me for no damn reason....

So Giotto... you are and always will be a BESTARD..... I know there's a friggin reason I go back to LL but I can never remember why.... maybe it's the abuse and the humour I provide to you and the staff.... And to think I might be there for two whole months shortly.... Oh christ... god help me....

Tansak KTV,

[b][size=+4]LOL[/size][/b]

As we all know it is very difficult to understand women anyway, but it is completely impossible to understand a Thai woman. Whenever you believe that you are close to understanding her - something will happen, or you will be confronted with a strange behavior, and you start with your understanding process from zero.

Of course I did! My daily life in this hell of Bangkok with all this Thai females around me is so serious and stressy - ah, what a hard life that is :) ! Every opportunity for a good laugh must and will be used!

After living in Thailand for some years now there is one thing I have understood: men and [Thai] women do not really fit together. Besides the strange phenomenon that we need them occasinally for the one or the other reason - women are only complicating our lives, adding confusion, chaos, trouble and all other kinds of serious problems into it - I sometimes think gay men are much better off then we heteros, they have somehow a male partner, and they have the chance to UNDERSTAND HIM. We don't have that chance!

Don't give up, my friend, don't even try to understand women, just deal with the consequences of their actions.

Mr. G.

Do you have any gay friends? I certainly do and they are just as screwed up in relationships as we are. You would think being the same gender gives then an edge but it doesn't seem to work that way. They seem to have as much trouble figuring out their partners as we do figuring out women. At least the women look better (My opinion).

My second trip to Bangkok and to LL. I visited the Sports Bar on my first evening. The mamasan recognized me from last time and greeted me well, as did one of my girls from last time. Spent a great evening in very close contact with these two. The girl was very affectionate. Quite apart from the eventual sex, spending a few hours physically touching multiple women seems to meet a need I have, it is deeply satisfying – and difficult to find in the West, as far as I know.

So, as the evening drew to a close, I bar-fined the girl and up we went to my room – she was not pleased to hear the room number and was a little remote at first, the TV went on which I did not like much. I decided to let her settle, and sure enough after a while she warmed up again very nicely.

On my second evening, I went to the bar just to have a beer. I was greeted by the same two and I told them it was a beer-only night for me. They were great about this, and we ended up playing multiple games of pool.

Third day I asked where I could get a traditional thai massage and was recommended a place called CEFLE (?) in the alley right opposite LL. It was really good. And in very nice premises. Two hours only 300 bht. Worth a big tip.
Meanwhile LL as a hotel is again excellent, I particularly appreciate the great attitude of the staff. For me, probably the second trip is the best - the magic is still present but I am more confident and relaxed.

So, now the pool party is just beginning, the boss is on the mike introducing it – I must go.
