champers

If anyone was wondering when their new shop was opening, their Facebook page now advises Saturday 20th April.

Happy shopping.

and then one day, quite suddenly...

... the beach was extended, then Covid.

Fraudulently marketed with promises of the fictional brylcreem "bounce".  But once that slime was plastered onto your hair there was no chance of it bouncing anywhere,  Normally found on the shelf in barbers shops between the condoms and those styptic pencils for shaving cuts

🎵Put a little dab of Brylcreme on your stairs

And watch your granny bounce.🎵

A while back there was a Dutch guy who had an interest in a jetski business on Pattaya beach. He bought the jetskis and a Thai guy rented them out and arranged repairs when needed. Presumably profits were shared somehow.

Every Christmas Day morning the Dutch guy dressed up as Father Christmas and rode up and down the coastline waving and shouting Merry Christmas to everybody. It warmed my heart, anyway.

Try Asia Books in Central Festival, floor 3, I think; a proper bookshop so new rather than 2nd hand.

A water sports business with customers signing an insurance waiver form. Why?

A popular Soi 7 bar owner/vlogger says the 11th. Looking to finish at 6pm every day so the bars can actually make some money selling booze, etc.

Farang out there enjoying the time of his life. It's everything he dreamed, legal bullying and causing possible injury with no repercussions. Hee. 

 

Watch me crash her motorbike! Stupid Thai. Hee hee! Let's git dat b*tch!

 

BONUS: you may enjoy the impressive moobs on display:

 

 

But besides the fun and the fabulous moobs show, you get to mix & mingle with the Western  intelligentsia of high net worth--people like yourself whom you'd like to meet. Network, man.

 

 

 

Moobs? If it's a Brit the correct wording is "chippy t*ts". Please note for future reference.

NB: As a previous owner I know what I am talking about. Gone now, thankfully.

A delivery company asks you to collect what they are supposed to deliver. Weird.

Moby Grape, derailed by legal troubles in their prime.

Bad Finger ruined by thieving management.  

Badfinger wrote "Without You" which was a huge hit for Nilsson and later Mariah Carey. They were signed to Apple when the Beatles broke up and never saw a penny. Both writers committed suicide.

Well, it is no secret that PM is a co-owner of many luxury hotels in Phuket.

 

Thaksin is a big player as well. But he likes to have his lunch at McDonalds.

In Pattaya the PM's company built The Edge and The Base condos, Thaksin's firm built the Centric Sea condo. All 3 are on 2nd Rd and are close to the proposed development. Coincidence perhaps? 

Very rich and successful men do partake in P4P. Andrew Neill was; still is; a highly regarded journalist, ex- editor of the Times and he partook some years ago.

I remember reading A Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich. Bleak but reccomended.

My condo complex has a locksmith on call to deal with such events. The couple of times I have used them the charge was 300 Baht. That wouldn't get a locksmith out of bed in my home country.

Speak to whoever is on duty in your condo lobby.

For a long time I have thought that a casino will be built in Pattaya on 2nd Rd between Klang and Central Marina. There are big swathes of vacant land owned by Chang's property arm and plans in place for two new Marriott hotels, a Legoland and a zoo. Also included are business convention facilities where I expect the casino to be included or very close by.

I am waiting for the film version of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I'm not holding my breath.

Pre Covid, direct flights from Doha, Qatar had begun and Air Asia ran flights to 9 different Thai cities, with a new terminal built to service them.

Covid has a lot to answer for.

I'm guessing English teachers in Bangkok too ?

I may be wrong however 

Pattaya too.

Fugitive? 

There has been a Lego exhibition in Central before so it is popular in Thailand.

Developers for their projected 2nd Road complex plan to build a Legoland along with a zoo and two Marriott hotels.
