Songkran

[Rika]

Hello,

Havent been around here in a while. SO i thought id put up a few pics from Songkran. In thailand everyyear to celebrate the new year (april15 to 19) The entire country has a huge waterfight. Along with the smearing and flinging of baby powder. Here are a few pictures of it. (im not taking credit for these pics, but they give a good idea. Ill put some of my own, more boring ones, if anyone wants. My camera is not waterproof, so i didnt get any pics in the heat of combat, just from afar.

This first pic is a good example of what its like. hehe

On the 19th in Pattaya it gets really crazy. Its hard to really explain the chaos that goes on.

Good day everyone.

Shameless /Bump!!

Just thought I'd say I finaly made it to Thailand.

Me and a buddy of mine went to Pattaya for the first time. I have to save it lived up to every exspectation I had. Good booze and good women.

Found me a new mount while I was there as well...

One night in Bangkok

THE AMERICAN:

Scene from the music video
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
or this place!

COMPANY:

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

THE AMERICAN:

One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother

COMPANY:

It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

THE AMERICAN:

I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --

COMPANY:

Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

THE AMERICAN:

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

COMPANY:

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

THE AMERICAN:

Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

Scene from the music video
And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
parlours --

COMPANY:

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

shoulda emailed or messaged me.

[Stacked]

Man I thought you were just passing through and I didn't know you actualy lived there until I got back and searched the boards.

BTW A few of us are trying to plan a trip back there in January. Maybe we can meet up then. We are staying in Pattaya for sure if we go to Thialand.

[Rika]

Yeah i live about 30 meters off walking street down the soi across from lucifer and just past P72. Right near where most of that video was filmed. Ill be around, just drop me a msg.

[Vinilaa]

I want to come visit (and I will someday) I just don't know when I'll be able to make it.

[Stacked]

Damn that sucks man. We must have passed that area about a million times. I'd give anything to live close to Simon's bar. The bar in the back on the right was were I spent every spare minute I could. It had a great view and there was one chick there that was alot of fun.

We ended up staying at the Roof Garden Inn thats up 2nd road a bit. We are talking about staying at the Vault next time. We keep hearing it is pretty good and its not as far away.
