Try it where you are, you might like it. 

 

 

I would love to, but SkipCassidy says I have a better chance of snagging a Taylor Swift ticket.

Just absolutely packed out. Unlike the website pic.

one of the best breakfast buffets available anywhere... 

And yet, and yet.....I have my doubts that this is strictly true -that the stalwart New Yorke hotelr is somehow miraculously punching above its 195 baht weight and then into the Four Seasons stratosphere.

But then again: "Tasty" fruit? - how do I get involved?

I was gently kidding your blind hope that the US government would ever willingly forgo the pittance of revenue derived from expat retirees.

Now you're just comically lying.

Love how Putin mocked him for applying to the CIA.

Waiiiiiit a minute, if Tucker applied to the CIA, then Tucker is deep state, and then some.

What does a Q-anon retard have left to believe in?

"Trump derangement syndrome. And: Orange Man bad, amIright?. Take that, libtards. We had eight years to come with some new jokes, but we never made it past the original first two".

please DO NOT attend... we prefer nice people.

As an active member, you should be trying to coax me to come.

'Can't help but notice how evasive you are on the dodgy fruit issue.

Who got to you?

My wife is a letter grade better looking than me.

Hoping for any more is inviting disaster.

-Wrong post, whatever.

If she's too fat, you have to go reverse cowgirl -and you're the cowgirl.

I'd get on a plane too.

a lot were lesbians were always on the news.

Would that be like the 1970's, black and white, rented tv from a village shop news?

What about English women being barking mad and wanting to be spanked? Very hard to find Roi Et.

Give me a nutter I can go to town on with my belt over a bland Ka-Starfish type.

 big wooly jumper wearers

 

I hate English womanhood even more than you do (I'm half-English), but is this sweater-wearing insult your own invention, or is it in common usage? 

Why can't those pub slags wear a sweater on a cold day? This seems to be the most incomprehensible of disses.

If you did indeed average 8 free trips to the Thai well a year, and then amended that with 15 quid pops, what percentage of your sex life was Thai-only? When was the last time had sex against a car in a chavvy car park? Not that I'm reminiscing or anything.

I believe in Adam and Eve.

Not Adam and Steve.

 (I have been to Dalat a dozen times during my seven years of working in Vietnam, but I have never been there during April, so I'm not sure how it will be.)

What's the air quality like? We nixed India for April for that reason. 

Last year, we did The Cameron Highlands. Pretty and mellow, but very dull, Just a strip of samey S.Indian chapati joints. But very cool for most of the day.

(I'll be in Borneo and Sulawesi this year).

You might find it hard to believe but there are a growing number of girls, don't want a serious relationship - just a 'good time' - as do I. 

 

I'm not exactly new to this you know, I've been travelling to Thailand for 21 years.

 

 

How many free except for pad thai sex encounters in the last 21 years? Feel free to round up.

term, I wish he'd do something productive for expats like suspend income tax for Americans who don't live in the US.

Our dear leader weighs in:

"An expat -a bigly expat, the biggliest expat in expat-dom, really- asked me, asked me, 'Sir, what if I need the Marines to come and save me from being sodomized by Somalian pirates, Sir, what if?"

"I'd ask him: Are you paid up in full on your income tax? -They're laughing at us, the Somalian pirates: I'd like to wipe that Somalian grin off of their too-tan faces- BUT, are you, are you in possession of a PAID stamp in your passport?".

"Because if you're not, I want to send those Somalian Pirates vats of KY Jelly and urge them to go to town on you, you know, you know, like line up, tag team-style. You know, do whatever the hell they want".

The smoke will get you before the heat. The higher the mountain, the duller the town.

Lampang is a disappointing town. Lamphun is better. 

 

 

-But not much.

Just closer to Chiang Mai to mitigate the disappointment.

I'm a lifetime member of the Chiang Mai Expat Club.

 

 

 

 

What happens at the meetings and would it be of interest for a first time visitor? What's the nationality mix?

I think the buffet is 200 baht. But BritmanToo goes to a German buffet for that amount. So is that really a discount?

Partic if it's a watermelon/overripe pineapple/hard cantaloupe fruit selection as per a usual discount hotel buffet?

It's down to sheer, ignorant predjudice

 

 

 

You're gamely fighting a fight I already won against myself.

What are people's (who've been or never been) perceptions of these clubs?

 Is it OK to have a broad opinion of something without extensive, first hand knowledge?

If I went to the buffet would that sole appearance fully legitimize my thoughts, or would I need to do a tour, including Roi Et?

ThaiBeach, thanks for the good read about Antartica. You are one of the best writers here. And you just killed my desire to go there and saved me $20K.

The walking tour is my least favorite kind of tour, I never make it more than half an hour before I start drifting away. Unless the leader is a mono-maniac on the subject, you can tell they're bored in the very special Khao Soi Noodle place for the millionth time. It all feels begrudging and desperate.

And it's always too long. A good walking tour would run about 30 minutes. They make it long to justify the price, just like they give you too many French fries at McDonalds. I have abandoned walking tours in London, Paris, New Orleans (like, 3 times), and Hanoi.

Another terrible idea is a cooking class. In Chiang Mai, they've had problems. So everything is pre-cut and then you're invited up individually for a festive turn at the stir fry. At the end, it's a feast of very blah Thai food, most of which has gone cold. That papaya salad has been shredded down to match stick size by nose-ringed backpackers.

We had a chance to invest in one of the multiple seat, bicycle beer-dispensing contraptions.  Hugely successful in the southern states. But subject to sudden regulatory change the first time they run over a child.

A friend still has a horse and carriage for touristic rides around adowntown and clears about a grand a day. The ride costs about $2  a minute. Has anyone paid for a pricey carriage ride? Legend has it that Lampang has them.

Another just her and her piano good one

If I was running tours from Chiang Mai 

A pipe dream of a lot of potheads here is to have a pot tour: they take you to a pot farm, they take you to some pot places.

Problem: Pothead only want to spend money on pot.

A pot tour is pot-money thrown down the pot-drain.
