There were two good buffets for the Cheap Charlies, the evening buffets at the Lex Hotel and the breakfast buffets at the hotel farther down the road on the opposite side, but this is in Pattaya. They never opened again since the Chinese Virus.

A few years ago at LHR I saw an unattended suitcase sitting at the side of a passageway, I got hold of a security man and pointed it out to him, he just said it belonged to someone sitting a few seats in with some other people at the other side of the passageway. If I had a suitcase anywhere I would want it sitting beside me.

Good question.

I will never take my shoes off to enter an ordinary shop no matter what signs are on the door. I usually wear ordinary sandals so it means that I have to sit on the sidewalk to take them off and again to put them back on. If there was a seat to sit on then yes, I would.

I have been using Temu quite a bit recently, though not on the app, on my desktop, but they have put a stop to that now, they would not let me make payment until I could do some sort of quiz that I cannot complete. i am finished with them now and still waiting for Items ordered about a month ago. Another thing, don't buy anything from them with a zip on it, the quality is awful.

Good!

So throwing buckets of water over people not participating and going about their business is normal????

If I don't agree with anyone's rules and regulations I will break them if I can find a way around it.

I am referring to personal experience, you will get aggressive and confrontational people in any country. I do not and never have drunk alcohol and have always just minded my own business, though as I pointed out in a previous post, I will never allow queue jumping in front of me.

In 20 years of living in Thailand, including lots of time in Bangkok and Pattaya, no Thai has ever provoked or threatened me. In saying that lots of them have tried to jump queues in front of me, both male and female and I approached them in a normal way, told them and pointed to the back of the queue, and every time bar none they have done so. Apart from their road behaviour, I have found the average Thai to be decent, honest and non confrontational.

There used to be a few tourist police around that area. I have read about a few skirmishes there lately but never a mention of tourist police. Where are they now?

Yes, I get you. But round about that time and even up till the late nineties when I was in my prime I never remember any girls who liked men with facial hair. Different today obviously.

I understand getting these saddo emo's as facial hair is so fashionable just now. I remember when I was a young guy, short hair was fashionable on girls. (lezzie style. Sheena Easton) I did not have so much a choice then as I always preferred girls with long hair.

That is exactly what I am saying.

Good looks???? Hasn't he got facial hair?
