An excellent turnout. In excess of 30 members and related friends. Sorry we didn't our Admin Tom. The table was filled with peps eating dinner by 20:30. Including Anne's buds, Uhu-Uhu, Petchbun Pat, Gigabyte, Toie, Pla and Mike we had probably 10 new people (well relatiely new fopr some anyway.)
Thanks to Gigabyte for working the reservations with HRC and everyone who came to dinner and attended. Hope to see some of you during SongKrong and definately after.
YES- please send me pics to mm
Hey TFers,
Machinations are still in process but be sure we are partying on Sat April 9. Most likley on Silom Soi 4. Gigabyte is gonna try and work the Hard Rock Cafe side of a deal that may be on another nite. Everyone message Gigabyte about HRC on Friday night. See below- Yellow Sub needs a send party!
And this just in! Yellow Sub-babe is requesting someting for her send off to NY tomorrow night, Friday! Hey, aint nothing wrong with more partying! And aparently 2U is going to NY as well
In the event section I have begun machinations for a TF party. I will swing by Hard Rock this early evening to talk to the manager and see if I can get us any type of deal on food or drinks. However, if this place doesn't work out I am thinkming about that ltin place at the end of Silom Soi 4. What is it called? Sandanistas? I can't remember. But I will check there next Thursday evening as well.
Question: Can we print our profile page? Or the picture page? This would ensure the venue
Well it's been 6 hours and a 30 mech bull rides
And look at the mes I'm in-
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of GIN
Well I sit and I pray
That Cherry will come back and pay
While I'm singin' to myself
Gullivers has got have another way
[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Mr Collins sittin by my side
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Nana Never again
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched
It was a hot and wet February day
When we touched the ground at B I A
Sweat was flowing on the ground
On the A3 bus I heard the sound
Of an Angel
Bangkok on Song Krong Day
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel
Soul love...this Beitong love won?t let me go
So long...Angel of Yala
Bietong like a merrit tree
The street sounds like a Honda Dream symphony
We got P'Bang and a love supreme
Pisut & Suea say she?s got to be an Angel
Lady Mai got dark black eyes
She sees the truth beh
Well, before I can even get back into a Bangkok social groove I am off to Sangklaburi again. Look forward to seeing the Angel of Yala and helping her with some refugee related work. Had to bag on all the events I signed up for. Another time. The bus to Kan is okay. Its the minivan ride through the mountains I can do without. If that driver sings loud again and sprays air freshner into the air con intake- I'm gonna smack him upside the head!
The 3rd and final master degree application is
The Thief 2 Trilogy comes to a close. Went into the Thonglor lazy-ass police station on Sunday at 8:15. For the first time since Thief 1 in early Dec and Thief 2 in mid Dec the cops actually took my statement or both cases. I had already jang-kwamed (inital report) twice. Why Officer "I'm a Kawai" decided it was time to finally do actually work, I do not know. Maybe it had to do with my "Wa" of hiim the previous day or the fact that I have spent 900 baht just going to see him over the month
JR is Mail thief. Boy done gone and stole my mail. Then called me and pretended to be AIS in order to get more info out of me. The used the Central card in my name to 122,000.
Central and "their cops" confronted him Thursday night. He confessed to the card theft and fraudulent use. They did a deal, promise to pay back all the money in 2 months and they will not press charges (jang kwam and enforce the law.) This is great for them. They get back their US$3,050 and he..... GETS AWAY WITH I
UPDTAE:
As many of you know, I had all my **** stolen in a backpack form Stabucks Emporium Fl 2 on Dec 2nd 2004. It was a farang. He got allot of impratnat info about me and my lap top computer. The fear I have is indentiy theft. Been very out in front on this and frooze my credit history in the states.
HOWEVER! The person who stole my new Central Card form the mail and rang up THB120,000+ in debt (US$3,050) appears to live in my building! He's been stealing certain mail from me for mayb
Bee & Kevin,
THank you very much for throwing such a great party. We really enjoyed it and it was a good opportunity for Mai and Khellomi to met so many people. Enjoy the wine.
13 new pics, mostly taken over the last several months that I have been away and busy in Sangklaburi, Umphang and chasing the thief in Bangkok. When I have better visuals of this guy, you will see them.
See ya all soon. Peace
Bangkok Bank has been pretty slow in this process. But in anycase, we will should have facial close up by next Monday. Come on back and let me know if you know this guy. Thanks.

Taking a break from the Starbucks Farang Thief. Came to Umpahng, Tak province on Dec 9 to visit the EX-O / Angle of Yala / WIFE / Commander.
It is frikken 5 degrees C tonight! So Cold! It is suposed to be 1 degree on Wednesday night. What the hell?! I am in a tropical country! The one thing good about the cold weather here- the snugglin! Never has so much snugglin with the Ex-O. Usually just start to sweat and turn over and away. BUt not here. Its like the 8-10 spoon position to keep w
On Thursday Dec 2nd I went to Starbucks (Emporium 2nd Fl.). It was crowded. I ordered my coffee and then found a seat at the study table as I had planned to work on another grad school application. I put my bag down making eye contact with the two 40's Asian expats and asked if the seat was taken.
I then walked back to pick up my coffee. I noticed Loburt chating with a lady but didn't say Hi as we had never met yet and I didn't want to interrupt their conversation. I waited approximately 2
Still drunk with love 4 years later.
To my beautiful, inteligent, caring, hard working field nurse and ass kicking southern babe of a wife,
HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY (ceremonially speaking)
I love you.
And coming up Dec 15th we have the 4 year "together anniversary" for which I will be with you in Umphang. Riding bikes up mountains and trails and swimming in that river, towards Thelorsue Waterfall. SCARY!
(I actually like the April 29th anniversary best. That's when I asked her underneath
Ahh! Well that little exercise in governent workings and transfered money into the Kingdom worked pretty smoothly. But what are they gonna say after you move US$10K into the country? "No, sorry, bye bye." Not likely.
Anyway I am happy to report that I am now a legal foreign spouse of a Thai wife according to Thai immigration. I can stay in the kingdom for 1 year (no multiple entry or exit visas though- will have to buy them each time I leave and return for THB1,900) but I probably won't l
This Wednesday Boys Night Out returns. Ladies more than welcome, but be prepared for..... for what I have no idea. I was told that mischief is on the achenda for later but 'd be happy with some food.
Someone call Serpadon & Chis Ghent.
Ko Prat-Tong (Golden Buddha Island)
Secluded. Not a tourist in sight. Beautiful beaches, bungalos and some decent kyacking. It is however, quite pricy. A coke is 35 baht! On the other hand, the Pa-Khrea ad Ma-Khrea (the cheffs) are amazing and delier
After anoher week in cool cool cool season Surin and having my face explode in a mucas bomb from harvest season twice daily I am back in the Thep! The pollution is putting my sences back to their usual non affected status.
I'll be headed back to Surin this Sunday or Monday night so if some of you are having any get togethers or events please let me know so I can make plans to attend. Espresso is back from his sojourn to Nepal as well and I am looking forward to his pics and stories as soon as
Ahhhh, back tothe Thep! (Getting my lungs all greased up again with pollutants for easier breathing.)
So I go away, you blokes rarely visit. Where's the love? Like the Leafer is the onl one checking in everyday to see I've resurfaced (thanks lover.) Is 2U feeling my warmths? No. (too busy with the Iron *****). Is PC checking in? No. Looking for work (as he should be) and apparenly still partying. Is Gin, Hidiko or Waeng keeping my profile moist. No. I am, deflated. Ah but will squez
Land of Elephant Dung, my beautiful Muang Surin. Home of that cheating, phone stealing son of cow- Senator Chuchai (TRT Surin). Be watching the Post, the Nation and the Demcrates publications. My buddy is getting ready to unload on this guy.
Ah okay besdies that. I'm away in Surin until October 11th. Hanging with the Angel of Yala is always the best hanging I can do (B to the oner!) I'll be up here reading, riding and swimming for 7 days before returning to the Mighty Thep. Feel free to
Man-o-Man. I have to rest this week from last week! TFer's had the BNO on Tuesday. Then I had the ambassadors reception dealio followed by Ad Makers (nonTF) and lastly Q-Bar on Sat night! I'm fucken tierd.
I was excited to go to Q-bar as I had not been there in ages (and now I know why- Bt600 to get in the fucken door!-YIKES!) That was 300 baht a beer- for the little ones- no less. No wonder PC did not show up. In anycase I arrived with my favorite goofy escort Phanapha (who had to drink
Oh man. That was a long night. Where dos 2U find the energy reserves to go on and on and on?
So Boys Night Out went off without a hitch. Everyone showed up, drank beer, played pool, ate Nui Burgers, watched the Angel Witch show (I stil didn't think it was better than Long Gun) but Paul C had some very interesting and amusing stories about sustaining injuries at LG so it was best not to put him through that trama again.
The best part of the night though had to be the mechanical bull at Carni
Let me get the frog out of my throat! (Hurl) Allot loud talking last night.
My goodness. I love that crew! 2U & the Cat, Espresso and the Professor and "Hi I'm Phunapha- The Waeng!" my face hurt from laughing and smiling. 2U gave me endless grief for disapearing for 6-8 weeks- (I can only image what he says to Serpadon.) Even the Cat was "raking me over the coals" for being absent and most likely backing out of Samet due to the Angel of Yala (read EX-O does not concur with spending mo

Sunday, August 29, 20:30
We board train. Senator Chuchai boards train.
Train staff have already been allerted as to the 2 forgotten mobile phones. Train staff are confident they have both phones on board but they are locked in a secure room and will be presented to us on
Due to my insuing lay off I am forced to take leave Angel of Yala and I were saving for the Sri Lanka and Mongolia vacations. Low grumble and Grrrrrrrr. BUT! tomorrow I will arrange Bike rentals at Pro-Bike and a pick-up truck rental on Lang Suan or Wireless and come Friday morning we are off to Uthaithani and a friends forest resort at the foot of Huay Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary. So this should be good. We have been once before and it is surprisingly beautiful being just 3 hours from th
Body Challange II- 5 people competing to loose weight over 16 weeks.
My office is full of people who have been Super Sized. Wel, that is not fair. Really No one is hugely fat or obeice. However, most of us are a bit overweight or not happy with out bodies so Body Challange. This brought my co-worker and buddy JW to Surin to spend a weekend with me and the Mrs cycling around the moo-ban's. JW has never been to true up-country, traditional Thailand (Isarn) and this was a great opportunity fo
