Sticky Rice Balls

Thainess---blasting air con with broken vents as i watch everyone fiddle with the vents above--

blasting cd that skips sometimes of thai love songs--whether u wanna hear it or not---

soymilk--cookies and a bean roll for your meal---free massage then nagged for an upgrade

a hi-so reclines his seat all the way back on u clipping ur kneecaps--thus knocking over soymilk!!

i leave in 4 day----china airline--chi-ness?...had enough fake "thainess" for now--chok dee

a naked thai woman in the elevator--wait--what?....was she cute?....suay?..narak? joob joob!!

Hey now---whats all the hubbub about bub?....thais are learning bubba...bah--humbug i say---oooh sexy lady! just have to look good here--no need learning----hubba hubba!!!

id like to ride my old 100cc up there or the MHS loop but maybe the silver bullet is the way to go

still kicking the idea around---anyone suggest a decent quiet clean little hideaway to stay in pai?

cam pm me if secret--i wont tell --i go home in 5 days.....ssssssssssshhhhhhh

just my luck--more tickets and no rain----i didnt make it to the free show tonite--wasnt impressed yest

Well i was the "lucky"? one to get tangcorals' free ticket and i went yest....of all days when i want rain it had to be yest...i immediately started to think what was going to happen with the rain out as IMO the ticket price was a bit high but lucky i got a free ticket and split the cost of one ticket with a friend.

100 baht for a singha draft?..same for somtam!..wow..pricy eats/drinks indeed--before i go further this was simply MY EXP there...2 bean bag chairs for the whole crowd..they were the lucky couple indeed! A few other lucky ones got the triangle pilows but i ended up on the curb to be close to stage.....i will also add i have run my own dj co. for over 25 yrs back home....in regards to next.....

listen to "peter" play...who i found i just a local CM guy--seems he couldnt get much help with his mic volume.....sounds guys asleep?.....then came the rain--and boy did it rain!!!!!!....we waited for quite a bit of time/hour?...heard that we could attend again sunday which only seemed fair to us that paid 650 each for a few hrs of music?....and im sure the vendors werent to happy as their sales washed away...anyhoo it seems there was plenty of room for those tonite to spend $$$ on 100 baht somtam

so as i was ready to go home--cold-wet they ushered us into the main hall(inside) to be trapped by nokia girls screaming at us and insisting we play games--"s-mart-phone--who have?!" and then the MC to go on even more-----we didnt pay 650 to hear this and be forced upon by your sponsors!!!

we came for jazz music---the headliner was a cover band!!!! i could hear just as good at riverside or northgate--even better IMO....and of course her mic went out several times too(hello soundguys)

i left after the 2nd act from frustration--screaming kids(family nite?)-and it was poorly run IMO...

all in all an overpriced ticket to a big show for hi-so's paying over 1200 baht for average wine and

showing off--the music seemed like locals and people ive never heard of(again dj for over 25 yrs)

it looked nice on paper but again i spoke to a few people as to if they would come back on sunday and many said --NO---i was one of them----cut the price in half and i would reconsider that fair....

****and one more time before u let the hounds loose--this was simply my experience and yes i had

a free ticket and split cost of another for a friend---it was an okay show--def NOT worth 650--IMO*

was thinking of driving my old honda dream 100 tp to pai/MHS..good idea or take minivan

and thoughts on a budget quiet getaway around there?..dont wanna be near the noisy crowds/toursits

I think new one at the other side of night bazaar--new Israel tour/food/bar/hookah place on chan klan across from oishi hot pot-----also harem seesha on canal across street from 7-11--left on canal from shutep/thai

Was there tonite for jazzfest--poured rain--seems ok but 800 yikes!!! id take the 500 membership

they do have a cool light/water/laser show----but i was there at night---def tourist trap---up to you..

Ive gotten by on 10000 baht a month but the savings are slipping away--heading home to work

I worked a bit here but all ended in frustration....no visa or permits needed to work back home--more $

Haha--yep--deer in the headlights look indeed! I figure if i ever need to rob a bank i will do it during these crazy screaming soapies--good lord....

Its like a hypnotic stare as im trying to get the check and such when eating and all the staff are gathered round

staring at the shrieking phuyings on the boob tube...thats when i loot the place--leaving nothing but my card!!!

And kudos to the soapies for ingraining that whats really important is education--not riches-wealth and status!!!

For them who suffer from a sore throath, gargling with salt is an option, and these tea's work very well too.

Several teas are known to soothe sore throats. A helpful recipe includes:

1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar

Juice from 1/4 lemon

1 teaspoon of honey

Cayenne pepper to taste

Mix the ingredients into a cup of warm water and drink slowly. One cup is rarely enough for all day relief, but four may do the trick. This drink may also help reduce coughing.

Another tea option is to combine ginger tea with cinnamon and lemon. Ingredients include:

1 teaspoon of grated ginger

1 cinnamon stick

2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel

1/2 cup of water

Combine ingredients in a pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Pour three tablespoons of mixture into a cup of warm warm and drink. Save the rest for additional cups of tea later in the day.

A third tea option is ginger tea with lemon and pepper.

Seep one bag of ginger tea in a cup of hot water.

Add lemon juice and black pepper powder to taste.

This remedy not only helps relieve throat pain, but it can also clear blockages.

Agreed im all about the natural way and im with Joop------also for the deep chest cough
