Very sad indeed. And with no local equipment or facilities, they are struggling to find the plane or bodies. Thailand is giving support, as is the plane manufacturer ATR. The plane was only 6 months old. Disturbingly, I recall a comment by a Bangkok Airways employee to me a couple of years ago. I asked why that day's BKK airways flight to Luang Prabang (on an ATR turbo prop) had been cancelled for poor visibility, when the Lao Airlines flight wasn't. Don't think I need to spell out his answer for you. An awful tragedy, I hope it was a freak unavoidable accident. Not sure the black box will give that info.

Use one all the time. Best thing is not queueing for tickets, esp at Asoke BTS. Also have an MRT stored value card, although that's not converted to Rabbit yet.

A popular family hotel, IBIS. I think OTS took his 3 kids (one of each sex!)

Wrong BM .... unless you know something I dont ...... Maybe I should enquire about my cash

Bullys Christmas meal was excellent, by the way!!

Why ask on a message board then? Yes, maybe we are talking bullshit, maybe not. Do you want my CV?

I made further enquiries last night, when I was with a LB who used to work in Nana Plaza (and her house mates still do). She confirms what lotusguy posted. She also said it doesnt happen in GG bars either. The only testing she is aware of is 'pee-pee testing for drugs, when the police arrive' In Singapore (one of the Orchard bars) there is a test, but if you dont happen to be working that night you miss it. Some sensible LBs get their own tests done.

You're a new poster who asks a question - and gets a straightforward reply. Doesnt mean you're a newbie on the scene, or that you know nothing. But lotusguy does very likely know. This board tends to treat new posters well, but that is a two-way street.

I wouldn't assume anything in this scene .... ie. that LB bars do. But it is VERY encouraging to know that all GG bars in Nana do the tests in a robust manner with every girl present. It wouldn't be like Stickman to present such as fact if it isnt. I will make some further enquiries. This might be a subject where wishful thinking applies. Lotusguy I'm sure has some solid info, as he's not prone to flights of fantasy. Well ... not too many

If it doesnt happen, there isnt really an explanation. This is Thailand. I too doubt it happens, but dont know for sure. Are you sure about the GG Bars (ie from reliable info, not just from a GG who told you she was clean?) On another thread you said you think it happens in Cascades. I've not heard that. I assume it's not difficult to get a negative result certificate, unless the tests are very carefully controlled (and at a large bar it would be a major industry). Not saying it isnt a good idea, though!!

'Hooge Dins' ..... sounds perfect for my Christmas Day. Must check what Bullys are offering too (& Chequers in Soi 4)

Now you're talking OTS ....

Hey the avatars back, and photos. Just checking if all recovered. Think we are in Luck if you want to stay around!

Ladyboy Review forum has just opened a Bangkok section, if you're interested? Two good mods, who dont give the internet sarcasm kings too much rope. Sounds more my style, altho I do post on LBsPattaya too.

I see a red 'moderator' badge. What good news, if this is not a mirage in the desert. Can I start the brown-nosing immediately by saying that Khun Kendo is one of the best moderators around ... Or are you just visiting for a regal oversight?
