How things can be different from one night to another. Went last night to Sunny Place for the bingo. The portly owner was very much there, the house was packed, the atmosphere friendly. There were more boys than when I was there in July, and quite few to my taste, on top of the two who were competing for my attention. Had a very good evening ! and night, but that's another story

-- Gentle Reader, Should you be contemplating a last minute drive to PATTAYA then you might like to read the flg. web-site:
- > The Baht Stop <-> FORUMS > OPEN Forum > 'Traffic-snarls in Pattaya.';
- I fear lest 'Go well - go Shell.','The ESSO.-sign means happy motoring.' or even the latter's 'Put a Tiger in yr. tank.' might not avail you very much.

Traffic was quite bad over the weekend- mainly because the cops decided to "regulate" flows causing more chaos than the usual free for all (e.g around the dolphin round about) - but not much worse than the new year or Songkran periods. Most of the Jomtien road widening now finished and dual highway right though and parallel to Jomtien Beach road means quicker run to Na-Jomtien areas.

Getting out of Pattaya tonight and back into BKK will be hell as a million people head back home after their un-planned extra long weekend.

Have been here in PATTAYA from 02-05 nov. -
1.- Hotel full of boisterous Russians on package-deal holidays;
2.- Beach full of the usual Germans!
3.- Weather mild & pleasantly warm, with generally a gentle breeze blowing;
4.- Bars & clubs seem to be variably busy from night-to-night; my Enthusiastic & Am. Friend went to HAPPY PLACE on 04 nov. evening: portly farang in attendance, so music not too loud, service attentive & efficient; possibly some 30 R&F. a go-go boyz, mostly hy. tattooed; many visitors, almost sitting-on eachothers' knees;
- While there I visited MIC-MY BAR on two successive nights, tue. & wed.: tue. quite busy with several young men shewing-off their assets; but on wed. nigh on empty of both YM. and visitors. Also visited HAPPY BAR twice, non-alc. drinks at 90.Bh.: first time quite busy with several YM., all wearing their usual & slitted shorts, on parade, 2nd. time LESS so; also to EROS BAR wch. wasn't all that busy, some half-a-dozen YM. available, all wearing briefs; non-alc. drinks at 90.Bh.; but three enormous farangs, who made my E&AF. - who weighs some 330lbs.,(say 150.Kg. or 24.stone.) - seem quite under-nourished by comparison, were amongst the spectators

-- My Enthusiastic & Am. Friend and I ret'd. to BKK. today, (05 nov. - 'Remember, remember the fifth of november ... .'), forenoon; from PATTAYA to EKKAMI 'bus.-stn. no problems, 'buses. dep. PATTAYA for BKK's. other 'bus.-stns, and also MUKDAHAN in NE.I-SAN;
- On DONGTAN BEACH many chatty & loud-voiced Germans, who otherwise appeared to be harmless. V. few Russians seen near the AVALON HTL'S. end, prefering to gather at the farther end and nearer to the tall twr. with its cable-cars;
- A fair number of the usual and poor but honest beach vendors hawking their wares, wch. incl. porno. DVDs. of young persons of questionable ages;
- Our htl. - MIKE'S HTL., nr. to 'Walking St.' - full of Russians on package tours: commandeered the swimming-pool from opening to closing times, and later ran up-and-down the corridors hallooing & shouting until the wee small hrs..
- My E&AF. told me that he encountered a gp. of four & youngish males in a 7/11. store: all wanted the same & small product - LESS than 20.Bh. - and all paid individually with 1K.BH. notes, after wch. they remained at the till until requested to move, wch. they did with ill-grace and then gathered outside the shop's door stopping all INgress & Egress until after they'd finished their conversation: 'Nekulturni-i mujiki-i.' as they say in Mother Russia!
- While the Russians might be welcomed for the income that they bring they are far from welcome by the mild-mannered Thais for their boorish behaviour:

-- My Enthusiastic & American Friend and his lady-friend have been in PATTAYA for the last few days;
- A brief SMS. has informed me that SUBWAY SANDWICH BAR - Pattaya South rd.,(Beach rd. end.), has CLOSED;
- VASA BAR - Boyztown has CLOSED;
- The portly gentleman is seen at HAPPY PLACE - Boyztown, but the quality of the young men on the stage therein is of 'Tuk-tuk driver.' standard: but possibly that means too many tattoos?
- E&OE. as reported speech.

-- My above-mentioned friend, my Elderly, Frequently-visiting & Am. Friend and I plan to visit on or about 02 jan 2012..
