Is this a product loyalty thing, or do you just prefer the company of the more hi-so crowd on nam khaeng?

[Rocket J. Squirrel]

People talking way too loud on their cell phones in public places.

People using the phrase "at the end of the day..."

[kahuna]

(Stogie @ Feb. 15 2009,22:27) People who use the 'core' part of the tomato in food preperation. This should be a felony!

I eat it...

(Rocket J. Squirrel @ Feb. 16 2009,19:46) Too much aftershave on someone who wants to shake your hand or, God forbid, give you a hug.    

I'm pretty certain I'm a faggot, but I don't ever hug
people who wear aftershave...

[seanbeag7]

(Naang Faa @ Feb. 17 2009,02:13) People who click their fingers to get attention of waiters/staff..

Litter bugs...

                  x

or worse than that is shouting "hey horse" to someone like me that is rather big cheasted, that always pisses me off, and i always react in the same way. i stand in front of the little prick and stare at him for a minute. then i tell the fucker hhe has got 3 seconds to run for the door before i kick the shite out of him.

I ain't no fucking horse or mule, and i hate cunts who think that they can call me one.

Smokers who think the world is their ash tray. Saw one set a small fire during a dry spell here at home. I'm sure that would not bode well in the land down under right now.

Oh, and people that call Australia "the land down under"

I just use the detachable shower-head hose available at my current Dynasty Group abode... But maybe my arse is bigger than yours

all is clear now,as last time id stayed at a dynasty for the life of me i couldnt understand where the odd smell was coming from everytime i took a shower

Having said that, it could also have been a question of shower partners

Self appointed Thailand experts .

We've all met them , usually found propping up the bar in some dodgy beer bar in Pattaya .

Usually shifty looking social misfits who look like they would steal your mums pension , the type of guy you avoid like the plague in your local back home .

These guys talk ten to the dozen about their own lives and you don't get a word in edgeways , when you speak they don't listen , they need to tell you their tale of woe that is their life story .

They are experts in all things Thai despite never leaving Pattaya .

They have a strong dislike /mistrust of all Thai's despite being accompanied by a hard faced Thai wife who looks like she keeps voodoo dolls and never smiles .

They are full of pointless information like "Try the weekend market on a Saturday mate its the best day "

They insist on giving you directions to a cesspit of a restaurant known as Fat Harrys or something which serves a dinner swimming in lard for 50 baht .

They usually own a bar in some backstreet where no one goes .

They are full of urban myths and old wives tales of murder and mayhem on the streets of Pattaya involving the less wily than themselves , they of course are exempt to such scrapes because they are well respected by the right people in both the police and the mafia .

They insist on buying you a drink because they have no mates and no one to talk to apart from the Thai wife who looks like she wants to stab him in his sleep .

If you make the mistake of accepting a drink they then expect you to buy them for the rest of the night because despite claiming to be a big player on the Pattaya scene they have already lost their life savings in the dodgy beer bar they own in soi 459 , 4 km out of town .

If you meet these types make excuses and leave ASAP

Classic stuff there Jimslim, I've met that guy in Phuket once. I ended up avoiding that soi altogether the rest of my trip. At least he wasn't around lb action.

My biggest pet peeve with lb bars is them approaching you for a drink. I don't mind buying them a drink, but I want to be the one offering. I usually do after 5 minutes of conversation. The ones who come straight up and ask for drink get no time with me.

Even worse is when your with a lb drinking together and some other lb inevitably bellies up to bar telling you "she my sister" This scene will repeat itself if you let it, and pretty soon youve bought her whole family a drink.

In Patong recently I had that old lb who tries to dance on podiums tell me two different lbs were her daughter trying to hustle drinks. She tried this on me everytime I sat near that front bar. I would watch her each night struggle to get up on small podium wondering how much longer can she do this. I figure she gets more drinks out of sympathy than anyone actually wanting to talk to her. Then i wonder whose the guy that barfines her? Did he lose a bet, does everyone have someone who finds them attractive.

When I'm out with lb and buying her drinks, and one dares to ask for a drink, end up offering them baht just to photograph them. The bar is getting their for me paying for drinks for two, and the lb is getting more baht than she would have from drink cut. She feels good about herself because some guy with lb already finds her attractive enough to take her photo. She ends up happy on a slow night, which is why she had to approach a man with lb already for a drink.

I will say the drink vultures as a whole have toned down since I first started coming to los. Perhaps I'm not giving them the vibe to hit me up.
