Pattaya ------ Hugging

I had no idea I was living in a country that was responsible for so many amazing achievements.

OMG now Thailand is the HUB of hugging

Pattaya already hold's the world record for mugging's and bag/gold snatching, so why not Hugging.

Cant wait to visit.

I take it there's a standing requirement, otherwise it could easily be days.

soon there will be hugbars! shorttime 300bht (5 minute hug), longtime 3000 bht (26 hours 26 minutes and 26 seconds). cool.

Because Pattaya has a Ripleys, they are always trying to break some bizzare new record, there has been quiet a few new world records over the years, I remember one was for kissing cobra snakes heads ?????

Was Suthep and Yingluk involved?

The contest was sponsered by "super glue" and "1,2,3 "

I have to laugh if I imagine either of pairs are yingluck & suthep ....

pattaya huh? i wonder if they also broke the record for simultneous pickpocketing?

soon there will be hugbars! shorttime 300bht (5 minute hug), longtime 3000 bht (26 hours 26 minutes and 26 seconds). cool.

Actually there are clubs in Japan where men pay to hug/cuddle with young women. No sex ... just cuddling.

I was in Patt's 5/6 week's ago and no bugger smiled. I bet The Pattaya peep's would come last on the list if they held that one.

Thailand, the hug of hubbing.

You forget to bring a small dog wearing a motorcycle helmet!

Reminds me of the movie; They Shoot Horses Don't they?

No didn't forget to bring my dog JT left her at home this time as she has the tendency to nip at your butt at the most inopportune moment's.

I did try that age old cunning ploy of putting a 500bt note in my shirt pocket all that got was a lot of pointing + that fly a kite hand sign.

On the subject of people's demeanour.

I know that the Russians get a lot of stick from their behaviour maybe well deserved, but all the one's I met there were very pleasant the worst behaved peep's I hate to say this were my own countrymen English they at best were A/seholes.
