Songkran In Pattaya

[Mobi]

There is a website called ihatetoiletattendants.co.uk

The first time I met a toilet attendant was in a rather upmarket club in London and I must say that if you are not used to having someone handing you your paper towels to dry your hands or brushing your lapels it can be quite disconcerting. However over the years you get used to it.

We see female cleaners quite often cleaning in Thai toilets and they don`t seem to care so why should we?

To be fair to Dave`s toilet attendant at the Blues Factory he is a very happy chappy and he appreciates a bit of humour and the wet towel on the back of the neck is very refreshing.

I don't have any problems with female cleaners - they're not there to be obsequious, solicit tips and touch you up.

As melonf says, I doubt there's many farangs who welcome this kind of attention, so why is he there?

I just want to piss in peace.

Most of the bars in PI have them lurking in what the call the C.R. or Comfort Room. They dress their little kingdoms up with pretty pictures and bows and bottles of perfume and stuff, they really know how to help a guy pee over there.

A comment from Dave might be appropriate

...one of my pet all time irritations in Thailand is male toilet attendants who lurk the toilets, smiling and presumably offereing some kind of service.

It's that 'smile' that I'd be a little suspicious of.

The guy is probably high on the smell of urine.

So, what was Songkran like in Pattaya last night ? Any good, wholesome, clean fun being had ?

Please go off topic again, will you

Yeah, I try

All that talk about bathroom attendants almost made me forget what the original topic was

Just finished a small water-fight with "the clan" in my building. Handed out the various water-pistols I had stashed (made sure mine was already loaded) and then in true postal style, I went up to the top of the building (3rd floor) and started hosing the ankle-biters (do unto them before they do unto you !). Now they are off terrorizing the neighbourhood.

(hmmm, I used the words "terrorizing" and "pistols" in the same post. I guess I should expect my emails and phone calls to be tapped by the NSA now)

As you didn't put in Allah Akbar they might also consicer you as one of their own guys...

Oh..so we're back on topic.

I just hope that somebody gave the toilet attendant at the Blues Factory a good Songkran squirt.

Yesterday took the gang to the water park. The rain held off and a good time was had by one and all.

Kinda hankered after that guy in the Blues Factory loo, as the state and smell of the toilets in the water park was nauseating. Maybe he should moonlight? (Or moonday?)

The heavens opened again in Mabprachan, but stopped in time for us to enjoy a fish’n’chip supper at the Fisherman’s Rest on “Driving Street”

Saw the missing yank and girl with the brown eyes canoodling by the lake.

Today took my storm damaged laptop to the guy at Wattana. Told him about the lightning, and he said it probably burned the internal modem via the phone line. (which I keep plugged in so that I can dial up when Ipstar crashes.)

‘You mustn’t do that, you know’ he told me – not when there’s storms about.’

‘What’s the damage?’

‘Who knows? maybe just the modem, maybe the mother board – could cost tens of thousands (Lai Meun)’

‘What about the hard disc?’

‘Who knows, maybe ok, maybe lost everything.’

‘Thanks – call me with the news – but do it before I jump.’

Drove down Naklua to pick up the stepson from school. My wife was incensed!

“See that bloody farang over there!’

I saw an elderly, semi naked farang sporting a long pipe like weapon, which seemed to spout water at an alarming rate and force.

Doesn’t he know that’s illegal, the wife ranted. Why don’t the police arrest him?’

‘I don’t know my dear – maybe they haven’t seen him yet.’

‘It’s terrible, those things are banned – if he was in Bangkok, he’d be in jail by now. And look at those stupid Thai women with him’

I saw a couple of TG’s also sporting ‘illegal’ weapons.

‘Don’t they read the newspapers? They should all be arrested.’

Well never mind dear, I’m sure the nice gentlemen in brown will along shortly to escort them to the nearest dungeon and give them fifty lashes for their transgressions.’

Nasty looks in my direction.

Two more days in the Songkran life of Mobi.

Two more days in the Songkran life of Mobi.

Well, you've been having more fun than I have so far

A drain pipe in one of the shop houses got plugged up a couple of days ago, flooding the shop with rather stinky water (fortunately it was only water).

Building owner called in a couple of guys to see if they could unplug the pipe, I ended up helping out. Yesterday morning, the owner's younger brother showed up with his plumbing crew. Had to break up some cement to get at the drain pipe and ram a snake into it.

What came out ? A couple of condoms, a t-shirt and pair of panties

The crew cleaned up and put fresh cement (which I of course had to "sign and date" before it dried)

Waste of time though, as last night the pipe was apparently plugged again. Only this time, I was the only one around, so it was up to me to break the new cement and try to snake the line with some old wire, then redo some of the drain piping to make it easier to access in the future.

Not quite how I figured on spending time during Songkran. What's next, roof repairs during the rainy season ?

I just heard via the grapevine that an English man was arrested for spraying battery acid on kids.

/Edit - confirmed story - read this thread.

I just heard via the grapevine that a Norwegian man was arrested for spraying battery acid on kids.

My GF just told me that as well, apparantly it was on Banglamung cable TV, the person who got the acid thrown at him felt it was not water so his wife/girlfriend took a photo of the person that threw it then straightaway took the phone/camera to the nearest policeman.

[Jai Dee]

Well, I'm leaving to go home soon... first, empty the bladder... second, make sure there's enough fuel in the car... preparations for the gauntlet through Naklua.

Last year it took me 3 hours to travel 10 km.

Here's hoping...

Hi Jai Dee, I've just heard from the missus (who is slinging water about in Naklua, you'll recognise her with her dark hair and wet T-shirt).....the trafffic is grid-locked there.

[Jai Dee]

Well... that wasn't so bad after all...

It only took an hour to get home tonight (on a normal day it's 30-35 mins).

Congratulations to the Boyz'n Brown for keeping the traffic moving... Well Done!!!

(Although all of them were thoroughly soaked and sporting powdered cheeks... but they were still smiling)

Here are a couple of photos I took along Sukhumvit from the relative safety of my car...

happy thai new year

as a lifelong fan of wet t-shirt contests, this holiday is like a dream come true.

btaim, my friend is blessed with his wife and a beautiful 18 month old daughter who provided the ultimate in song kran assault defense.

trust me.......... if you want to walk about without being SPLATTERED, bring along a baby in a stroller! we went through the heaviest crossfires imaginable on walking street..........

gotta say though, i was dismayed to hear the british ct scream at the pretty young restaurant girl who sprayed him with a small amount of luke warm water from her spray toy..........

"hey, do you want me to smash you in the face? its meant to be finished after 6pm............"

unbelievable

[Jai Dee]

Today is the big day for Pattaya.

[monty]

And alcohol free as well

I'll stay home though

[Tufty]

And alcohol free as well

Not strictly true, I can't buy a beer on a bar but I've just been down to Family Mart and they are openly selling whisky to Thais, and just before I got there two men were carrying a body away ftom the road side

Unfortunately It's all too believable, miserable Farangs trying to lay down what Thai people are Supposed to do on a Thai Holiday festival in Thailand.

And of course, typical British Diplomacy at it's best.............. She should have let him have a bucketful for his troubles, I would have loved to have seen the result if he had smashed a Young thai girl in the face....I doubt he would ever have done it again.

[Jai Dee]

Well, it took me just over 2 hours to get home last night... and that was just travelling from little Manila (Colchan) to Pattaya Klang along Sukhumvit... what a party!!!

Sorry folks... no pictures this time... I was too busy negotiating my car through the pickups, wet t-shirts, motocycs, wet t-shirts, barricades, wet t-shirts, tour busses, wet t-shirts, bass-thumping dance wagons, etc... and of course, the wet t-shirts.

For the Thais at least, it was sanuk mak mak!!!

Moby - shame on you mate. Dave's loo attendent is a nice lad - I always thought he was a pleasant enough chap. Well give him credit least no shoulder massages are given when you are unleashing the trouser snake. Turns on taps - me wash hands and gives me a towel. I give him a tip and off I go back to listen to the great music and buy more drinks.
