  1. I've never been to the night safari because I've heard too many negative reports. But, I should go at least once just to make my own mind up. I like to take photos of animals, but they are not worth it if they are always sleeping. But, contrast I was thrilled to see a tiny wild deer on a hike up Doi Sutthep the other day.

    You will ride in an open trailer with seats, when it stops the Deer put their heads inside. thumbsup.gif
  2. I spent 12 years of my life unable to climb two flights of stairs, coughing up blood every time I got a chest infection - essentially crippled.

    This morning I cycled 88Kms in under 2hours 45 minutes over a circuit that includes two seriously hard climbs (one of which I went over twice).

    I feel like the wealthiest man alive.

    I have been there too, now lifting weights in my seventh decade. Don't know how but...............thumbsup.gif

    i do heavy weight liftings and sports in the very early mornings. first i lift my eyelids to take a look at the clock. then i lift my weight out of the bed and minutes later i lift my coffee cup a number of times. but that's not all! after two cups of coffee made me fully awake i do some swimming. what kind of style i use depends on my prevailing physical capability which varies. normally i do 1½ lengths and when i'm in good shape and feel alright even 2.

    quite often i feel like doing some breast clawing. but that early there's never a lady with me in the pool.

    WoW, swimming with a cup of coffee balanced on your head takes some doing. thumbsup.gif .....biggrin.png
  3. Had to mow the lawn, sooooooo got my garden hat with the neck shade, gave it a good shake to get any spiders or pesky lizards out. Plonked it on my head, w00t.gif a bloody great Centipede had made it's home there and didn't like my bonce intrusion, ouch, hat off and it's hanging there injecting i's stuff in my hansum head. It shortly met it's maker BUT l have a scar which will be noticed by the ladies. sad.png I will have to say it was a combat thing. thumbsup.gif ............smile.png

  5. This guy accomplished what I have not been able to since I moved here. He found women that wear thongs. I have not come across a woman here yet that wore them.

    I was just going going to write a witty coment about this but then I realised it was an extremely childish inuendo so I stopped myself at the last moment. Something you clearly don't have to do.

    Oh, sorry too late. Again.

    Stoli has a mirror on a stick it seems. huh.png .....................................smile.png
  6. Yes, she has known was a zebra is since she was 2

    Oh come on kurnell ... we all know that there are no Zebras in Thailand ... biggrin.png

    My sister, on here first visit here tried to think differently ... and almost got herself killed (trying to cross the road there and assumed that the cars would stop)!

    BTW ... timely thread ... I'm going to Chiang Mai this week with the gf and her parents and was contemplating the Night Safari.

    .

    I thought it was OK smile.png , l have done all the USA stuff which really spoils us BUT for Thai folk perhaps they will have a good time, my mrs did. thumbsup.gif
  7. 21st celebration?

    That's my bet

    (wouldn't you love to be able to change the title ... tongue.png )

    .

    It's my 25th actually. wink.png

    I think I'd prefer not to be close to Patpong, not really my scene.

    I've heard nothing but good things about La Monita... Maybe I'll call them and see how big I can book a table for.

    Coyotes is another option.

    Sunrise tacos is ok but not amazing in my opinion and not really the nice setting for a birthday party.

    I am still thinking about your red hair. Oooooooooooooops, sorry, offtopic.gif but l am an old romantic.... . smile.png
  8. The night safari is lame. My kids got nothing out of it at all.

    You should have made them leave their iphones at home. laugh.png

    3 year olds don't have iphones

    A 3 year old would not understand the Night Safari or anything else for that matter except perhaps sweeeeeeeeeeet food. whistling.gif .........................................smile.png
  9. So what about a poor pensioner in Pattaya?

    He gets a pension of 20,000 baht a month.

    After, paying rent and essential expenses, he has about 300 baht a day for food.

    Is he not allowed to go for a massage for 100 baht every now and again, without being insulted as a CC?

    Tips are voluntary.

    you are merely creating an 'exception to the rule' example. This thread is not about people who can't afford to tip, it is about people who can but don't

    Is it. coffee1.gif
  10. @tropo: No, not everyone in this world is looking for a free lunch

    Perhaps you aren't, but 100's of millions of people are and can't pay. To call them cheap charlies is an insult to humanity.

    Must agree. Many ''I am alright Jack'' comments here. Blinkered in their own weeeee world, sadly. sad.png
  11. A chef can only cook so many meals at a time regardless of how many tables he sets up. huh.png

    Borrowing in LOS is sooooooo easy the mind boggles, in fact l can't believe how easy it is. So zillions of folk are buying cars they can't afford, purely to show off.

    These two points in my opinion is why a wait, BUT, many dealers give a waiting time far in access of what actually happens.

    Shop around cos some dealers have contacts and can supply a lot earlier when palm is crossed with silver. smile.png

  12. Unless you eat 1/2kilo of chillies/garlic/ginger everyday you will never be free of mossies bites, i dont eat a lot of issan food, and the only protection i have from mossies is a 20% Dettoll ,80% cheap after shower skin moisterizer, mix this together in a diffueser bottle and spray on bare skin,

    Ok, it might smell like a pox doctors clinic at first, but the smell wears off quick and you will be protected for up to 4 hours, Ive been using this for 5 years now, and unless i forget, no irritating bites,,

    lot better than the DDT chemical <deleted> i used to use,,,

    Hmm I do eat a lot of chilis and garlic everyday and they dont seem to bother me so much. Are you suggesting the mozzies are more lickey to fly to someone who is on a western diet? Never thought of it that way..

    Skin type thumbsup.gif . AND, the soap us farangs might use. smile.png
  13. I'm not sure what point you are making, to be honest.

    Use cannabis and a latent mental disorder becomes pronounced; don't use it and the disorder remains latent?

    Sounds like a strong argument for abstention to me.

    Maybe I misunderstand your various posts but the way i read it is that you basically blame weed as the cause of schizophrenia and other mental disorders.

    So my point is that this is not correct and that the people that become full blown schizophrenic after smoking weed would most probably have become schizophrenic anyway later in life without smoking weed since the disorder was already there.

    I have not read it that way.

    NOW ME laugh.png , have known many junk heads that really have gone nuts in later life. My chum is an original LSD guy and he knows what it did to him NOW. sad.png
