Giotto's Lodge in Bangkok

[QUOTE=Petemcc]Sorry mate. I got rather drunk last night (as usual) after the doctor told me to give up drinking and lose weight as my blood pressure is through the roof!
So, I suppose no drinking for 6 months will give me the ability to pay your surcharge, but I wonder how much it will be by Jan next year?[/QUOTE]Petemcc,

As you know we care about the health of our customers. Let's make a deal: You tell me your actual weight, and calculate a room rate per kg! If you then loose weight until you come here you have your "student discount"! What do you think.

OK, honesty is expected, of course!

And - we can top it: If your blood pressure is within a certain range (when you arrive here) we will upgrade you to the next higher room category!

Deal :) ?


Giotto

It rains a lot in the moment. And - what makes it worse, it many times starts around 6 pm and rains until 8 or 9 pm, and then nobody comes for dinner. We usually have regular customers in the Sports Lounge, many days late late, but it is simply more fun here if there are some customers around the swimming pool having dinner.

The permanent construction process is continuing. Last week we were running out of hooks, for the last rooms, and tried to find the same hooks somewhere - no, of course impossible. And - nothing similar to find. Now - there are millions of different hooks you can buy, why can we not find something which fits? Because - we not really want to find it, because then we have to fix it, and that means - WORK! And - the boss is so picky, if he doesn't like the selected hooks he sets up his "disgusted face" - and nobody takes the risk to see this any more. Damned boss.

We took out the bathroom floor in one of the rooms with the slope problem! Wow - dirt and dust everywhere. But now we have a slope! A nice one, the water is flowing away easily. And we have cement everywhere at the tiles ... as a gift from the construction company. Thank you!

The outside furniture must be exchanged. Rain and humidity - the furniture pays the toll for that. We were constantly painting it, but that only helps for a time. We should buy [b]plastic[/b] furniture (and get killed from our boss).

The new pool table is permanently occupied. It is easy to make money with this pool table - ROI was 2.5 month! We think about changing Livingstone's to a giant pool hall (joking).

We checked our network during the past few weeks, exchange two more wifi antennas, activated 2 more DHCP server. We went through all rooms and connected my notebook to the internet, via DHCP, wireles and per wire. Nobody will tell us any more that our internet connection does not work. --- And two days later (last sunday) another Wifi antenna broke down. Why is it that here in Thailand all technical equipment dies so soon? Humidity? General quality of work? But - this antennas are not even Thai products, D-Link...

The occupancy of the hotel was down to below 40 % in June. On the rise now, surprisingly, very early, it is still low season. We are now above 70 % already. Shall we increase the prices (joking)?

The girls in the Sports Lounge are bored some days. 5 customers and 35 girls. During the weekend it is usually ok, if it is not raining too much. Then all the girls who up, around 45 now. Guys, where are you, those girls don't want to sleep alone, they need nice guys who invite them for a drink - and possibly take them out later? This ladies are women too - they have their desires! Don't let the be alone all the time!!! That is not good for their health, and they get crazy with their own feeling! Have mercy with them!

Very international guests here in the moment. English, Americans, Omanis, Israelis, Pakistanis, French, Italian, Danish ... nice mixture. We even allow Germans to stay here :) ...

Tomorrow: [b]Maids Party[/b]!

Giotto, that seems like a very fair proposal. I will have my weight and BP verified by a third person, and photographed, and then I will collect my discount in Bangkok. How about if I lose 20Kg a free barfine? Or am I pushing it? The camera, fat calipers and tape measure rarely lie, so how about it? The fat bastard challenge to Giotto. I lose weight, get fit, and I get the discounts and BF if more than 20Kg. Hang on, I'm staying 10 days in Pattaya, forget the free BF, that'll never happen!
Cheers
Pete

PS I feel like I'm going to get shafted here- weight say 100Kg, at 30Bhat/Kg!!!!! That's shafted-only thinking of the worst!

No shafting, just a straight deal.

Example: You are 100 kg now, and 85 kg when you arrive. So the room rate would be THB 18++ per kg now, and will be THB 15.3++ per kg when you come here.

Then it depends on you for what you spend your "student health discount". Soda water would be option :) ...

Hmmm...... I wonder why it rains during rainy season? Must talk to the weatherman.

Did you ever try to see if you could get the towel holder from Piper1? I am sure he won't mind selling it to the Lodge.

Yeah. About time you changed the furniture. I am getting tired looking at the same stuff over and over again.

[QUOTE=Giotto]The new pool table is permanently occupied. It is easy to make money with this pool table - ROI was 2.5 month! [/QUOTE]
Now that's a rather long ROI. With the table being occupied by the ladies and gent's you should charge the onlookers to shell out more to see the action on the table. ROI...maybe 1 week?

A pool table party (orgy) is in order. Now come on guys, help the ladies out, will ya. G has promised to get some more tables soon.

Sorry, I did not know that you are German ... :) .

[quote=giotto]eu contractor,

report :(:(:( ???


giotto[/quote]

g,sorry i didn't post after my last trip..
would i be correct to believe you actually think i can remember what happened last february?
does my upcoming reservation depend on a report from last time?
as i remember, the peep inn does not require a report.
are you ready to venture out this time or are you still to "tired"!!
eu

Most of our senior management looks pregnant. The Sir anyway, as an Indian and all his responsibilities for dinners and quality checks in the TQM department - yeah, he looks pregnant.

The Vice President looks pregnant all the last 18 months, since I met him first - Tequila? Red Wine? But he takes care of his pregnancy very well, every morning lots of rounds in the swimming pool.

But now - the catastrophe happened. One of the "ladies of the night" is pregnant.

WHO WAS IT????? One of you, out there :):):)!!!!

BTW: We don't want to know. The problem is a different one.

Most of our girls believe that what nearly all bar girls in Thailand believe. If a pregnant girl works in a bar - then ... yeah what is then? I leave it to you to answer this question. Thai culture, as I was told. What has that to do with "culture"? --- Disgusting!

Today we had a kind of revolution. We have "so many white sheeps working here, and ONE BLACK SHEEP!" And because of this black sheep we have no customer in the moment!!!! --- Black sheep sits crying behind the bar.

Well - it is raining season. Could that be a reason that we don't have too many customers in the moment? - And the Sir is pregnant, too. Since years! That does not matter. Responsible is - this one single girl which is pregnant!!!

Sorry guys, I made some decisions today. I told all those girls that they can work somewhere else, if they don't want to work here together with a pregnant girl. To believe in Buddha is OK, and we respect The King. But superstition and ghosts - nonsense like this - NO!

I also told the pregnant girl that it is not too good for the baby to work in a bar with all that smoke in there...

Sorry guys, that is what I believe in. May be tomorrow we have only one girl working here - the pregnant one. Or may be she is frustrated, too - because I told here that all the smoke is not so good ... she will understand that as if I want her to stop working.

Good. Tomorrow I will be in this Sports Lounge. May be I will be alone - may be not. That does not make it a gay bar ... :( Worst case: We start all over!

Damned, I am really pissed about this girls. Shall they go to he.. - whatever.

Tomorrow is a new day. Good! I am not pregnant. Wait - not so sure, let me check that :) !

eu[/quote]eu contractor,

and now this. i am anyway not in a good mood right now. and now i have to read - this?

not only that a girl in the bar is pregnant. no, now this "contractors" interfer also. --- good.

dear customer eu contractor, of course your reservation does not depend on a report from last time. we will prepare some "space" for you (basement, no aircon, no shower, no toilet)! and yes, peep inn does not require a report! so - shall we book a room for you there :) ? or do i misunderstand something...

venture out, with a guy who does not write about this adventures afterwards - what would we say in germany, 'casting pearls to the swines'? to answer your question: yes, still tired, so many wifes - and one lady in the bar is pregnant :) !

bestard!

[QUOTE=Giotto]Eu Contractor,

Giotto[/QUOTE]

So I can expect the same room as last time??

Well, with the possible demise of Livingstones, perhaps it is time to think about what I said before- discounts!!!!

Also, as to how your girl got pregnant, well there is a vey good chance that it was through unprotected sex, probably with a boyfriend, because we all know that all mongers in your establishment bag up, don't they?

Perhaps the time is right for a good clean out and time to recruit some 1000Bhat LT girls.

Oh, and by the way, secondary smoking isn't just harmful to pregnant women, or pregnant men in some of your cases, but to everyone, so as part of your clean out, make it a non-smoking bar inside.

Right, there, you have my suggestions, now use them!
