  1. I wanted to 'positive vote' (click to 'like' in the little green 'reputation' box bottom right) a post just now, but can't. I've liked two (maybe three at most) posts in the last 48 hours but when I try now I get an error message that says: You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day. Any ideas? Tom Tit :blink:
  2. Not affecting me at all. Or, if anything, indirectly, marginally increasing my enjoyment, perhaps: I prefer BKK when it's quieter, freer of tourists. Last trip over, I got a whole row of 4 seats on the plane to myself too. That was good. Tom Tit :blink:
  3. That's very true. Only take antibiotics if you're displaying relevant symptoms. If you're healthy and take antibiotics such as Zithromax, you simply risk building up resistance (in which case once you genuinely get the clap it'll take longer to get rid of), damaging your liver and developing stomach/intestine problems. As far as I'm aware, based on what I've been told by a medic, antibiotics don't function to block contraction/onset of bacterial STDs: they cure rather than prevent? Condoms prevent. Chlamydia is the most common asymptomatic NGU/STD. If you've been wicked with a a few tarts, wait a month and get a chlamydia test. If it's positive, THEN take your antibiotics. No shame in having chlamydia. Many (some say most) sexually active adults get it at one time or another. I'm not a medical professional, but one of my best mates is a doctor (the medic I mentioned above, and he's also a gold card carrying monger), and I learned the above from him. Tom Tit :blink:
  4. Easily done: get married. (As long as arguing loudly about anything and everything and being told you're a useless c*nt 24/7 is your idea of entertainment.) Tom Tit :blink:
  5. Anyone ever stayed here? Looks really good. Will be spending a few days there later this month with my lady from BKK. Wanted somewhere nice. Any advice or info very gratefully received. Tom Tit :blink:
  6. Somewhat disappointed to find a photograph of a hamburger beneath that very promising invitation. Expected something a tad more gynaecological. :P As you were. ;) Tom Tit :blink:
  7. I haven't been to Hua Hin for a long time, over 5 years. Was there for a week. It's a lovely quiet spot, elegant and picturesque, but not much in the way of nightlife. Like you on your last visit, Madtriker, I was with my bird, so I wasn't bothered, but if I'd been solo I'd have been sweating, and probably cutting my visit short. Yes, a few small beer bars, but slim pickings. A drought compared to the overflow you get in BKK or Pattaya. I'm sure you'll find something. Have fun. Let us know how you get on! You never know: might be a pussy goldmine! Tom Tit :blink:
  8. Ha ha, roger all those, happened to me. Some taxi drivers also try their damnest to engage you in conversation ('First time Thailand?' 'Go Pattaya tomorrow?' 'Want Thai lady?'). Fishing for a tip, basically. Just tell them you're there on business and stick your headphones on. Taxi from airport to hotel should be 300 baht max, including highway tolls (have small notes ready for those: 25 and 50 baht respectively, if I recall correctly?). Make sure you ask for the meter on. He might tell you it's 'broken'. He's lying. Make to get out of the cab, and it'll soon miraculously fix itself and he'll turn it on. I usually round whatever the taxi fare comes to to 400 baht (so he gets 100 baht tip, which is perhaps extravagant), and he'll leave you a happy men. Around midnight, roads won't be busy. No advantage at all to take the shuttle. Waste of money. 800 baht? (1200 for shuttle vs. 400 taxi.) You'll just about get a short time for that at Nana Hotel car park after midnight. :D Have fun. Tom Tit :blink:
  9. This is excellent advice. I think, even if you're of Mongering for the Olympics status, you'd get sick of living on Lower Suk after probably 3 months max. Be good to yourself and look for somewhere that won't be like walking into a dustbin when you step out into sunlight every morning. Six months! You lucky bastard. Enviously yours, Tom Tit :blink:
  10. Has that McDonalds (and the gas station in front of it) not disappeared now? Looked like they were clearing the site for construction when I was in BKK last month. Tom Tit :blink:
  11. Really? I had a burger in there a couple of weeks back and I thought it was shit. Tough as old boots and full of gristle (cooked medium rare). No hidden agenda here. I go there often (though normally just to drink, not to eat) and I like the place. It's a great pub, and the staff are friendly. Maybe I just got the chef on an off night? Tom Tit :blink:
  12. I stayed in Sukhumvit Soi 2 Solo hotel in November and will stay there again later this month. It is great. Very good deals on Expedia/Agoda etc. Staff extremely friendly. Girl friendly (I was there for a week, brought about 4 different birds back on different nights (one per night, so dunno about the 'not more than one bird' rule) and they didn't bat an eyelid, no joiner fee, took ID and called room after bird left to check all okay. (Juge's photos above look exactly like my room. I booked Solo Hotel because I saw his photos. Wasn't disappointed. Thanks mate.) Majority of clients seemed to be non-mongers, young couples of pairs of blokes (including some obvious poofters), but nobody tut-tutted (staff or other guests) when I rolled down for breakfast with an obvious tart on my arm. It's quite a way down Soi 2 (free tuk-tuk upon request 24 hours a day to Sukhumvit though, and will pick you up anywhere on Suk and bring you home if you phone the hotel). Very quiet. Breakfast nothing special but okay. Room service quick and cheerful. Very clean room, strong shower, all good. Rooftop pool very small but a good area for sunbathing. Only pennies more than the Nana Hotel, but infinitely quieter, cleaner, and staff less rude, so a true gem and a real bargain. Which is why I'll never stay at Nana again, will always use Solo henceforth. Tom Tit :blink:
  13. Fully agree. I've stayed there at least once a year since 1995, but of late Nana Hotel's gone too far down the pan, even for an unchoosy old salt like myself. Last stayed there last year. Room was filthy, stained carpet, stank of mould, shit-colored water coming out of shower and basin taps. Staff were unfriendly (no wonder, given the way a lot of the residents were behaving), and, as the feller says above, some of the guests behaved like pigs. Unless you're going to spend your visit pissed out of your brains 24/7, shagging any car-park freelancer with a pulse, staggering around the hotel lobby at 10am in flip-flops and a football shirt red-faced and loudly swearing your head off, and never venturing any farther from the hotel than Morning-Night or NEP (taxi to Soi Cowboy at a stretch) i.e. unless you want a hotel that'll let you openly behave like a drunken sex tourist (nothing wrong with that, of course, if that's your thing), then the Nana Hotel is not for you.* The pool is filthy, by the way. And the 'jacuzzi'? I'd rather sit in a sewage tank. Tom Tit :blink: * Disclaimer: that paragraph fairly accurately describes some of my own visits to Bangkok in the distant past, but I'm older now and can't be bothered with that shit 24/7.
