    Krua Khun Puk is on the corner of Soi 11/1 and Sukhumvit Road - i've been there many times. 50 Baht for a bowl of their braised pork noodle soup, most stir fries are 80 Baht.

    thanks.

    The corner of Soi 11,(the next one up), is where I saw the biggest rat I have ever seen. Coming out of the drain at 3.00am!

    Since he's a golfer, I do believe this question answers itself. 

    I know I am cross pollinating here, but re Tiger Woods and his breakup. The story goes like this. He was at home when a message came through that some mates were playing cards nearby, and would he like to join them. He apparently agreed to and proceeded to make his way over there after leaving his phone in the room. After he had departed ,his wife went into the room and found his phone. Upon inspection she found illuminating details of his dalliances. Now the story could be blown apart at this point as how could she open his phone and find said evidence.

    I guess he may have left it open. Who knows?

    Upon his return she fronted him about the list of names in his phone and it blew up from there. He decided that retreat was the best form of attack and made his way into his Cadillac SUV. As he was departing she found a 9 iron and tried her best to reshape the car and the driver! He while trying to fend off the attack drove into a gatepost which subsequently left some injuries to his face. Now it gets more intriguing! How to get the facial injuries fixed? It gets murkier. Apparently there is some magic surgeon in middle America who does fantastic work. How to get there. Aha!. Find a plane. Now , how to find a plane that can secret him away? Nearly every flight in the States is logged and a particular flight can be traced. Not so fast Gungadin.

    There is at least one that can fly without being traced. perhaps someone as famous as Tiger could have a flight arranged without being traced? And so it transpired. (According to the story). There is something to be said in having fame and fortune!

    Off to the surgeon buddy. You will be right as rain after a short time. At this point in time I guess we could say that there are too many loopholes to make the story believable, but who knows?

    Some of those old buzzards may have been Jack Nicklaus or Gary Player or some other former great. 

    As we learned a few years ago when Tiger Woods sterling reputation was destroyed by an avalanche of media stories featuring escort girls and cocktail waitresses, some of these guys are bigger players off the golf course than on it. You know what I mean. 

    What puzzled me about Tigers escapades is his choice of women!. Now I know we all have different ideas on what is a sexy, beautiful woman, but his picks were shall we say,"unusual".With his money and aura I would imagine that he could have who ever he wanted. The "victims" shown were those that I would walk past. Maybe he had some type of self flagullation going on?

    This story is the perfect segue into a story I have from the mid 90s, which also features professional-level hustling and even St. Andrews!

    I was on a project with a vendor to a Scottish bank that was notorious for being meanies with expenses. Their sign off process was so slow, that it didnt get finalised until the week before we were supposed to be up there onsite. The only problem was this clashed with the Open that was being played at St. Andrews that year.

    We had to scramble to get a hotel and ended up in the Caledonian, which is a 5-star charging big event pricing and so was bound to cause shrieks and squeals when the expenses invoice finally landed at the bank.

    So we all flew up there, checked-in on a Sunday night and it was packed to the rafters. Golf fans from all over the world were staying there. 

    What I didn't realise was that golf events, which attract a well-heeled set of followers, also attract 5-star escorts. 

    We all unpack, hit a curry house and then go back to the hotel bar for drinks. We finally get a table to sit at and I was then treated to a lesson in multi-tasking. There were quite a few ladies of questionabe repute in the bar, but there was one stunner, who worked it so well she had me entranced. At all times she had 3 drinks in 3 locations on the go and just circulated from one old bloke to another, laughing and talking in multiple languages. 

    Every so often I would see her leave with a septugenarian and then come back about 30 minutes later and just carry on where she left off.

    This girl was mesmerising to watch, as she was such a pro, I don't think a lot of people twigged what she was doing.

    I watched her intently for the three nights we were staying there and she was impressive beyond belief. She must have also been staying there, as she changed outfits a few times each night.

    It was the most interesting and memorable trip I ever took to Scotland, and I will never forget the sheer professionalism of this hot escort, whom I later found out from one of the staff, was from Brazil. To watch her work a room with such ease and experience, was truly a treat. 

    This was also great experience for what was to come later in my life - LB lounge bars. Bai Pai is very good at working a room with 2-3 different drinks on the go at all times, but she is still minor league compared to the Brazilian.

    I never found out how much she charged for 30 minutes, but based on her activities over those three nights, she must've made GBP 1,000s.

    As for the bank, the expected shrieks of agony occurred when the T&E invoice was presented and thereafter they only ever served us a single egg sandwich and tap water each for lunch, as if to try and exact revenge, for their own mistakes.

    St. Andrews - Sukhumvit - same-same but different.

    Perhaps my "friend" and yours would have made the ultimate pairing????:D

    Talking about restaurants etc, reminded me of the best managed bar/restaurant I have ever been in.

    Now I know these premises are about as far from lb territory as you can get, but there you go.

    The premises concerned are in St Andrews, Scotland. Yes the home of golf. The place is on the corner before you walk down to the first tee.

    It is an old building. Been there for centuries, and a favorite of golfers for many years. I was having a meal there and sitting at a table right next to where this woman was standing. Turns out she was the owner or at least the manager of the premises. Never before or since have I seen someone work a place like she did.

    Patrons would come in and sit at a table. Within a few seconds this woman was onto it. Directing wait staff to the table where they would give a rundown on what they could order etc.

    I was there probably 2 hours and in that time she never missed a beat. If a glass was empty, the Boss would bring it to the attention of one of the staff. As soon as a table was being vacated she was on to it. Telling the staff to attend to it. Getting it ready for the next group. Never a raised voice, just calm order. Constantly looking around and checking if anything needed attending to.

    That evening has stuck in my small brain for many years. A lesson on how a business should be run. I have to admit in some small way I took notes from that experience.

    Sorry there is no reference to lbs in this story.

    For whatever reason I tend to inhabit bars with live music in Patts rather than in BKK. I go for my nightly dose of Hotel California!

    I would have to say that most of the bands I encounter are of average quality. The exception to that rule was, in the past, the band at Hot Tuna Bar in Walking St Patts. They played a lot of 70's and 80's stuff which helps. The members are /were from Fili Land. They quit during C----d days. I found one of them in a bar in Vietnam. Had a chat and moved on. I found a band in Soi 8 that was better than average.

    The band which hangs out at the Triangle Bar in Soi Pothole I would rate as above average.

    I will have to do a search in BKK.

    They must be referring to guys who don't put the toilet seat down after taking a whizz.

     

    They must be the guys that use the toilet before the photographer takes shots for Booking.com etc.. It seems to be a bit of a Thai thing to leave the seat up ready for the shot!

    Ok, I'll write something up for you. 

    When do you head over that way? Anything in particular you're looking for? Any food preferences too?

    Hi 

    End of November I will be returning. Wont be a long visit, but will cram a bit in.

    I am not really a foodie. Certainly not into spices. Bloody boring when ordering actually. Brought up on stodgy old Kiwi food.

    Finding a motorbike taxi or Grab with a spare helmet that fits me is very often a problem. Do you guys also encounter that or is it just my massive head like the Mrs claims?

    I've been living on one of the Thonglor (or Soi 55) side streets for the last year when in Bangkok. Happy to help if I can.

    It's an excellent area for nightlife etc and much nicer in some ways, Thonglor is famous for being HiSo so it's obviously a nice area however the scene there might not be to everyone's taste. I like it there - mostly (some deliberately HiSo bullshit there annoys me) but it's nothing like Lower Sukhumvit for p4p options. There are a few p4p places like BJ bars, massage joints and more Japanese focused places in the area but that might not be what you want but it's really not an area known for that. I can give you some more information if interested.

    Where on Soi Thonglor is your condo? It's a long Soi and the best action begins quite a distance up from Sukhumvit.

    Grab or Bolt can get you to the LB triangle quite quickly but with taxis they may take a bit longer if you end up on Sukhumvit in the traffic of course.

    You might or might not not be interested in trawling around the clubs and some of the coolest bars in the area but you can find some really hot girls there, some might be interested in a bit of freelance work but it's not really that scene. I've bumped into a few current and ex CIB girls there on nights off too. It wouldn't surprise me if any LBs you're on LT with would jump at the chance for a night out there instead of the usual spots.

    Hi Genghis

    Thanks for the info. Have booked a condo called Ivy Thonglor Luxury Condo. Thong Lo 10110 BKK. Will be totally new area for me. Any spots you can point out would be appreciated.

    I am sure that there will be a CIB girl or two involved!!

    Was about time I booked accommodation for my upcoming trip and after checking prices decided to give my normal area the flick. Have booked a condo in Soi 55. Hot tub, pool etc. Quite a way from my usual haunt in Soi11. I need a change anyway. Anybody stayed down around Soi 55?  Soi 11 is like an old pair of shoes, and I just cruise around on autopilot, and very convenient for dragging girls back to the room.

    I am guessing a taxi would be the best way to travel down to 55 from the triangle. Don't think the girls would be too impressed about getting on the train?

    Years ago, there was a Thai airline that prioritized hiring of LB flight attendants. Some BMs here may remember it.

    Read the Guardian link first, then read the Wikipedia link to learn the fate of the airline.

    In the wikipedia article it says that Thai air is full service. What does that mean???.:D

    let alone an attractive lady or ladyboy lol.

    Speaking of which. Have you guys had the LB warning switch turn on with a flight crew. I have, twice in the last year. From memory one was with Vietjet. I always check out the hand and feet size along with the adams apple. Also the better makeup and attention to detail.

    ps I do like the uniform the Vietjet staff wear. Red tops and beige houndstooth hotpants. Very smart but somehow dont think the older United crew would look so good in them. I was told that when they first started flying they wore bikinis as a promo thing but decided decorum was the better choice.

    Prices go up and down daily for no apparent reason, in fact they change during the day. I was once looking for a flight, left my browser open and later that day I refreshed the page and it had gone down £35 so I booked.

    Yep, I am looking at fares in May. Not encouraging at all.

    Looking at flights for May. Brisbane to BKK. They are not getting any cheaper. With an airline that does not issue parachutes as you board, they are around $1200 AUD. Would be tempted to take Vietjet on the return except that on my last trip I came the closest to missing a flight that I have ever encountered. I arrived in heaps of time at HCMC airport to fly home and the place was packed, and i mean packed. Thought I would be ok but the throughput was a joke. The staff could just not cope with it. As time went on people started que jumping which was not pretty. I still thought I would be ok until the thought hit me that I may be in trouble. In the end I joined the que jumpers and luckily I did. I made the gate with about 3 minutes to spare. To cap it off, after takeoff I learnt that there was no meal served. It had to be booked pre flight!.

    I went with Vietjet as their hosties are simply the best. I don't mean based on their service, just their looks. Very smart uniform. Hot pants and all!!! I have flown with them internally in Thailand and found them to be really good. Apparently when the airline launched their service, the girls wore bikinis, but they had to tone it down.

    This is more likely a fantasy than a reality but are there any hotels that only have ladyboys as staff

    I dont know of any these days, but my hotel in Patts had one on reception. I tentively asked if she was and she said no with a smile. I told her I need to find out, so we went out that night. 

    Of course she was!. My radar never lets me down.:D
