[QUOTE=Piper1]Giotto, is there something you're not telling us?! (I hope it wasn't the old fat katoey with the black-circles around her eyes and missing front teeth - she's all mine).
PS Giotto - you've been so quiet lately. Catoey got your tongue? ;)[/QUOTE]Pipeman,
No, I am hiding, Eu Contractor is here ... Don't worry I keep that HeShe for you, it will wait in your Jacuzzi when you arrive he :) - ready for everything.

this is part 2. part 1 is on the bankok forum post #4278. it seemed more appropriate to post this here since quite a bit is about the lodge.
after eden.
it had started to drizzle and when i left eden (having tasted the apple) making bkk cool and pleasant so i decided to walk and visit a few old haunts to regain my strength for the evening activities. i walked down to the soi 7 beer garden and had a g&t with peanuts fried in garlic and chilies while i watched the star-wars creatures in the bar in various forms of mating rituals. some, not yet engaged, were quite acceptable (one stunner! ) but i was in absolutely no shape for that. then on to bush gardens for a quick game of pool. checked out thermae, but it was not open until 8:00 so i picked my way through the endless array of stalls hawking copy watches, copy sunglasses, copy dvd, copy everything and finally got to the station where i decided to detour through soi cowboy for old times sake. i probably have not been there in more than 20 years but i can say some of the names of the bars have changed, but it still looks the same.
an evening at livingston’s.
finally i arrive back "home" with dusk falling around me and have a little soak before going down for dinner. i feel refreshed and the wonderful night air by the pool is enticing. with a nice stir fry and a crisp white wine to go with it, i linger and read a bit, soaking up the ambiance. as i am reading, i notice that things are starting to pick up in the sports bar, so i decide to take it easy, make it a "night at home" and wander in to see what the evening will bring.
giotto was right in his post when he said he had a great mammasan. she really knows how to run the place! at some point in the evening, i was so impressed, i asked her how much to bar fine mammasan, but i am getting ahead of myself. after i looked around a bit and ordered a drink, she brought over a nice young lady i will call princess (not her name) and suggested maybe she would like a drink and i was more than happy to oblige. we played a little pool (badly i am afraid) and then gave way to a contingent from a flight crew who were much better at pool, but they got their ass kicked by one of the ladies anyway. i must comment on the terrific atmosphere – particularly the elegance of the ladies. the way they shot pool in those tight black dresses was something to behold.
at this point, i am tiring of the glass of "house white" so i ask for the wine list and find a very nice italian red from one of my favorite regions, so i go for a bottle of that. meanwhile, princess has attracted the attentions of one of the fly boys and in my mellow state, that is fine. so i share a little wine with some of the flight crew and in just a little while, much to my amazement they decide to leave – unaccompanied! so princess and i are now left to our own devices and pretty soon, we are getting pretty friendly. we arrange the bar fine situation and she goes off to change.
i notice that mr. and mrs. g are now in the bar at the next table so i feel i should pay my respects and complements. mrs. g is peeling some sort of pea which has been boiled in salt water and we discuss how this is something that is done in the south eastern part of the usa with peanuts. she offers me some and it is delicious. she is quite charming and i tell them that livingstone’s is an oasis in a sea of marvelous chaos. at least i think i said that. meanwhile, princes shows up and we say our goodbyes as we weave out the door, the nearly empty bottle in my hand. "you drunk? " she says. absolutely not, my dear, but in truth, neither of us could walk the line.
in the room, she is very sweet, but i notice a lot of phone activity – i also get a message – so i say "ok, phones off" and i take a look at hers. wtf, it says something like "i am beginning to worry that you like the late nights, the alcohol, the easy money and the sex. " and i wonder what do-gooder is about to screw up my last evening in bkk. never got the answer, but never mind, clearly she is not with that program. turns out she is with some of that program, the easy sex part. great bbbj and i have to peel her off so we can try some of that shaved pussy. very nice, a number of positions. she was a bit of a screamer (for a thai girl), but maybe that was the wine talking. she came twice before we finally ended it and got some well-deserved sleep.
up early again to catch a mid-day flight and after one more good-morning fuck, the only thing is to endure the drama of getting to the airport. the taxi does not go back to suk from the lodge but heads the other way on 33 and soon we are stuck in one of those classic bkk side street jams that sometimes don’t move for an hour. after much maneuvering, 25 minutes later, we are back at suk and soi 33 where we started. fortunately, i had left 3. 5 hours before the flight so i got there on time, but keep in mind that bkk traffic can still be fierce.
summary: 3 girls, 5 pops in 24 hours, kinky stuff at eden, a walk down memory lane, a refined evening at the lodge – don’t know any other place on the planet that offers so much so easily. giotto – keep up the good work!

I do not want to blame anybody. The forum shows, that most people love your place.
And I think that the discussions helps better to decide if this is the right place for a visitor or not. Totally, it will be better for you to have the guests who feel happy but those who are not and may damage the athmosphere.
Setup and pricing and policies do not match the daytime stopover situation. This is now not only clear to me.
Wlan just did not work for me, and i know what i am doing. Maybe i got the wrong password or something could be improved. For sure we could have solved this, but for a few hours it was not worth to try.
AC is a difficult issue. I sometimes hat and sometimes love them. Just important to know about what will be there.
Would like to meet you as I am back now, but my wife will prohibit that i suppose...
Good luck, Ding Ding.
[QUOTE=Giotto]Ding Ding,
Thanks for your report. Sorry, that you did not like it here so much ... may be we are not the right place for a short stop-over. I think I wrote many times about the non-discount policy (surprised that you got a discount anyway, I will have to kick the arse of my manager again :) ) and the reason for that.
That the building is open and not air-conditioned - that is the resort style of Livingstone's, and many people like especially that ambience here as an oasis in the center of Bangkok. But of course there are others which like air conditioned hotel lobbies - sorry, we don't have that.
Our internet works, I am working with that every day. Don't know what went wrong in your case - but I am sure that our WiFi works. It is now password protected to avoid, that all our neighbours waste our bandwidth.
And the prices of the Sports Lounge - I also wrote about that many times in this thread, also policy - may be you simply picked the wrong place for your short stay.
Come to have a beer with me when you are in Bangkok next time.

Thank you, and fair enough. I understood your report as businesslike criticism, not everybody can like it here.
You are appreciated to visit Livingstone's any time, for a beer or whatever, and if I am there I will also be able to connect your laptop to our WiFi :) (most likely you got the wrong password).
Sorry, but i cannot help you to get your wifes approval :) ...

Giotto[/QUOTE]Wifi worked fine for me both on my laptop and on my PDA (which is sometimes not so easy to do). I too enjoy the tropical open plan. It reminds me of hotels on the beach, which is nice. There is AC in the important places like the room, sports bar, etc. So I gues it comes down to taste. Caveat emptor!

Last time I checked, Calling Reception to ensure the Wlan works and Password is Correct takes less than 5 minutes.

I am eagerly waiting to see the Pics from the Pool Party :)

i am involved in too much shit in the moment. we have two issues with customers who decided to stay here for longer, but now they preferred to leave - and left us with the [unpaid] invoice... this are the first cases of this kind i have experienced here, and i have to make decisions how we deal with it now, and how we will prevent that happening again in the future...not that easy.
and then there was this bestard eu contractor, who took a lot of my time. luckily he was just leaving for the airport a few minutes ago (of course without saying good bye). before he needed to "pack", with the help of one of our girls ( i think i did not get it, "pack" or "unpack" ?).
this guy is unbelievable, btw. . we were out some days ago, and he fell in love with one of the service staff of the londoner. made a date for the next day, for lunch!!! yikes. came back as a catholic preacher - that girl was too young, only 19 !!! (i did not tell him that he was simply too old [87] ).
i am very sure that he will end up in prison one day, this bestard :). he used the word "discount" here at livingstone's, and that is against the law - for sure.
hey, eu, that was fun with you, i am waiting for you coming back in january. let's go ahead with the discussions about american politics and m16s, with or without ammunition :) ! you will be arrested [and raped] anyway! [that's what lek told me] :) !
giotto
[quote]....American politics and M16s[/quote]
Two of my favorite topics as well. Interesting, always misunderstood, and irritating, all in one. :)
I love my rifles (I've got two of them), but I can't believe how they've screwed up the M16's replacement process once again. Typical bureaucracy. :/

That really sucks man. I can't believe that some people(aside from being dishonest and basically thieves) don't realise/care that they are not only representing themselves but their country as well.
I think you should ask for advanced payment from the get go. If someone is planning on staying for say 1 week, they must pay the amount for that many days on the very first day, no exceptions. If they decide to leave before, they can get a refund, simple. Isn't that the simplest way to avoid the above mentioned problem or am I missing something?

[/QUOTE]SlimHoleDrill,
Thanks for your report - I nearly forgot to answer. I read it some days ago already.
I am not sure that I remember you talking to me - so many people are coming in for a small chat. And I would like to know who pricess is :), and which mamasan you talked to, we have now a mamasan and two assistents, but those assistents also call themselves "mamasan".
Quite unusual that you had a traffic jam when passing through the small roads of Soi 33 / Soi 39. Usually this is the shortest and fastest way to the airport in the morning - you obviously had bad luck. It is definitely not always like this.
Thanks for your long report. I hope you come back soon, and introduce yourself to me.

We usually do that, at least a deposit for some days when the customer has no credit card. But we should use the standard procedure of hotels, reserving amounts on credit cards. The process should be like this, but obviously everything went wrong in this cases.
But it was difficult to deal with this cases, the customers were known, and their actions were well prepared and planned. Of course our management must ask itself what went wrong in this cases, to avoid such a problem for the future. We are really talking about a major damage here.
That is the bad news. The good news is that this are the first cases since we opened the hotel (besides one guest in the very beginning which we made leave after a single day because we knew that we would get problems with him).
Many problems in the moment, but - better days to come :) .

Giotto[/QUOTE]Giotto,
I must admit I am not 100% clear on that evening.- I am sure you understand. I think you were mostly shooting pool, coming back to sip your drink and I mostly was talking with Guido and the Mrs. Anyway, it was a short time since I was just waiting fro "the change". The mamasan was older, fairly heavy and looked like the cheif. What is funny, when I asked to bar fine her, she took it totally seriously and quoted me prices. Only in Thailand.
And I don't rmember Princess' real name but I would love to have the chance to point her out in person. No such luck in the near future.
Sorry about your troubles, the risks of doing business. I hope you will get it sorted out.
Great place you have, I will stay there next time I am lucky enough to be in LOS.

You obviously talked to our Mamasan Nui. Yes, I think she is doing a good job with the girls. And who needs to know the name of your princess - she is your princess :) !
Thanks, and come back once you return to Bangkok.

Heard a rumour about a "private party" on Oct 28 at the Lodge?
Is that correct? Does it affect the sports bar at all?
Is the swimming pool party on that night?
