here for a week again this time so here goes.forgive my bad grammar and typing

i'm sitting in a cab right now on my way to patts from on long blurry drunken night.
checked in to the hotel did a quick shower and stait to guess. lot of girls had a great time but the bartender seemed to
not be in the greatest of moods but hey everybody has a bad day. started out with 2 double jack and cokes folled by to much beer.
played alot of pool and organized a pool tourney for the girls with a prize to the winning team all had fun. i didnt realize it at first
but this is an awsome way to check out all the talent and guage personality. they were so wrapped up the game that i got a chance to
to just sit at the bar and watch the game(and all the girls) without any thing else to distract me, try it one time it makes
bar trip a little different.

finished up there and went to nana, by this time completely hammered. did the usual bars but the best selection i saw was in cascades. i took two
there and had a blast slept for a bit and back out to the streets at about 2 in the morning. went to all the little street bars over by the landmark hotel
picked another up there.i noticed this time alot more african call girls on the other side of the street this time. some very good looking to boot. just never
saw them before. is this a new trend or was i just blind before? this morning i didnt feel much like going out so i looked on craigslist and called on that
had an ad posted there (carmela i believe was the name, fishnet outfit high leather boots very good english and would recommend i have the email contact i believe
if anyone is interested)checked out of hotel late and on my way to patts now.

just thought i would throw these tips in for someone who has never been here before as they work for me very well.
hopefully can help someone else in whole or in part as everyone travels a little different, if anyone else has more pointers im all ears.

1. travel as light as possible, i only take a carry on with about two days of clothes as you can buys shorts shirts and pretty much anything
you need on the streets very cheaply as well as a suitcase to carry it back.this helps me when i get to the airport so i can get out quickly

2.i always grab a couple of those immigration forms to take home. i fill them out before the trip this saves me alittle time at immigration.
the lines can be very long in that airport so when you get off the plane try to waste as little time as possible. just look up at the signs
they will direct you to immigration and walk as briskly as you can. it sucks when you have to stand there an hour like being a kid the night
christmas it just cant happen quick enough. currency exchanges are both before and after immigration so dont waste time in the terminal since
you can easily hit the ones right outside the immigration counters.past customs there are several phone card stands where you can pick up a
sim card pretty cheaply also.

3. getting out of the airport i wont say alot since there are so many ways and opinions. i just take a mettered cab downstairs they are cheap and
plentiful.

4. pattaya. try to keep a couple 5 and 10 baht coins in your pocket for the baht bus and toilets. baht bus ride i usally give they driver 10 baht
its cheap and the quickest way to get to and fro there. may places have free toilets but there are alot of 5 baht per use toilets around.

ok thats pretty much it please forgive the disjointed cluster i just typed as im still alittle hungover. but hope a few will find it helpful
or entertaining. i will hit patts at about 8:00 p.m. and i will probably go to anaconda first then maybe famous. if any board members are here
shoot me a p.m. i would like to find someone who knows all the diana and bukeaw locations as i rarely go out past walking street and the soi's
due to lack of knowlege about the who where and hows there. will try to take some pics tonight

Aha! A man on the ground...a rare thing these days.

After those great tips I was pleased to see the one regarding camera's.

Have a great trip mate.
