Not believable. Had this happened you wouldn't be here to speak about it. Movin on.

Really? I didnt know the fact that each and every bear charge results in fatal consequences, with the poor man, woman or child left a torn and dying bleeding out mess. Imagaine that. Learn something new from the experts every day.

Not difficult to find on here. Most have Special Forces experience/ ex CEO's of multinational corporations/can talk bs for hours.

 

Or something to do with a Roman legion...

[elgenon]

I've had many. The latest is I found out that one of my sweet girls had made some videos. So that's why she is so adventurous or vice versa.

I remember, on my first trip to Thailand and Bangkok, totally exhausted from years of tiring relationships with western women, meeting a guy and decide to visit the notorious Patpong area.

After not long, i was merrily drunk in the seediest of bars,sitting on a sofa with 2 topless waitresses on my sides.

For a moment i thought i was dreaming.

You appear to be an immensely "driven" person, and time management is clearly your forte.

 

It should give you a great amount of pleasure when you sit back and reflect on all of your life's achievements, not the mention the achievements yet to come.

 

Kudos

ive learned in Thailand to believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. but if its all true fair play to him.

I'll give you a $100,000 dollars for every bullet point that is not true.  But if they're all true you have to give me your entire life savings.

You had interesting bullet points... some seemed a stretch to the causal reader - but there is no need for the 'Most is made up for sure' comment...  but then you loose credibility by highlighting your affinity for exaggeration when offering $100,000.... should have just ignored him.

[Khaeng Mak]

I arrived, somewhat exhausted, at a little stone tea house that was perched in the middle of nowhere on the Annapurna circuit.  Within it's smoky interior were three big tables, the toothless old proprietor, and a young man that was working as her waiter.

 

At one of the tables sat two young American women all decked out in the latest trekking gear.  One of them was Carrie Fisher.  The girls were trying to order some tea but upon my entry the waiter walked away from them to come and chat with me and show me to my table.

 

The Nepali lad had good English and launched into the obligatory questions leveled at a western traveler back in that day. He then commenced to take my order.

 

I could see that Fisher and her friend were very miffed and in a raised voice the friend suddenly said: "Why did you serve him first.  This is Carrie Fisher."

 

I will never forget the waiter's reply: "Hello Carrie Fisher. I am Batsal. In Nepal a man always eats before a woman".

I am not here to foster credibility.  You can believe what I say, or not.  Choice is up to you.

 

I no longer discuss my life when I meet someone new.  The reason is that they usually think that I am lying.  Especially here in Thailand were the bulk of expats are full of sh*t.

A couple of months back I had a massage in Siam Reap, and 3 massage girls piled into the room with me.

That was memorable.

I assumed it was a misspelling, which has been known to happen with quite a few posters on TV.

I don't like massage as a rule so don't often go.  But 6 or 7 years ago I went to a little shop that only had three or four girls working.  It was in a beachside village and not a sexpat area.  The owner of the shop stepped up to do my massage, she was early forties and not unattractive.  But there was this tall and fit dark skinned girl in her early twenties.  She had her hair plaited into two pigtail braids.  I told the owner I would like her to do my massage if she was free.

 

The owner asked the girl. She said yes but said no sex.  I said yes no sex I only want a Thai massage.  

 

This girl was really stunning.  A hard 9 at least. She was also a good masseuse. After she had finished my back it was time to roll over.  And after looking at this lovely young thing I couldn't help but get a diamond cutter.

 

The young lass took of her top and her fisherman's pants and underneath she was wearing a pair of those tiny boy pants that hugged her tight little bum. Without any request on my part she started to blow me. Good lord it was good.

 

My legs were like jelly when I had to walk back out to the front of the shop where the other girls were seated. I must of looked a wreck because they kept asking me if I was ok.  They sat me down in a sofa and brought me some tea.

 

The dark skinned beauty came out to join us and giggled every time she made eye contact with me. 

 

I only paid for a standard Thai massage.  I have now idea why she blew me. But it was a surprise that rocked me to my core and a memory that will never be forgotten.

Hmm, once in a lifetime experiences .... falling off a jetty in Margate aged 6, nearly drowning but pulled out by an older girl ..... nearly drowning again after being caught in a current off a beach in Libya, this time no help but when i gave up swimming found i was over a sandbank and could stand up .... 5 minutes rest and then made it back to the shore.

 

Being on a beach in Libya when a pilot decided to do a strafing run on the next beach, only 500 metres away. Being caught in a sandstorm in the Libyan desert, on foot with no water .... navigating back to oil rig by following the shape of the sand ripples (prevailing wind meant they nearly all line up roughly North/South). I heard the sound of the generators before i could see the rig.

 

These are all experiences you only want to have once!

I agree...it has been decades since Thailand has had this much pomp & circumstance...I expect to see a good bit of the ceremony on TV...there is definitely excitement in the air...

If we're going to do lists, here's my own that I put together in 5 minutes.

 

- Worked as a DJ and transmitter engineer on an offshore pirate radio station in the 70's, arrested by the Dutch navy on my return and expelled from the Netherlands with a smile.

 

- Worked as a rocket scientist for the European Space Agency and was lead design engineer and integrator on many scientific satellite projects.

 

- Wrote an Artificial Intelligence chat application that the BBC said was the best candidate for the Turing prize (most human-like AI program).

 

- Sold my one-man band software business for more than $2 million and lost/spent all that money on houses, wives, hookers and dubious business ventures.

 

- Ran my own satellite TV station single-handed, (it was an SMS-to-TV channel 'Mobile Crazy TV'), including having to impersonate a sexy female 'video Jock' to encourage men to send their charged text messages.

 

- Rollercoastered (is that a real verb), from being rich to being bahtless in Thailand, due to the antics of my seriously crazy wife. I will always remember my close friends who stood by me and gave me food and shelter during those very difficult times.

 

- Built (meaning using my own hands), 4 successful small hotels in Phuket.

 

- Imprisoned in Pattaya for a short time to 'teach me a lesson' after I upset a very rich guy!

 

- Learnt to play the Lao khaen.

 

- Studied for an MA in Thai Culture at Chulalongkorn University.

 

- Learnt to speak Thai (also read/write to high level), Lao, Burmese and Mandarin.

 

- Reinvented myself as a Science and English teacher, and found that I was rather good at this job.

 

- Supported more than 3,000 poor students and orphans in Myanmar by purchasing all their school text-books.

 

- Changed from unfit slob to become the fastest 10 Km runner in Myanmar for my age group.

 

- Reduced my stress levels to zero, nada, nothing, absolutely bugger-all stress ????
