Timeless Lopburi.

**Captain Sensible** · 11-02-2006, 12:06 PM

And so...........I hope nobody minds but here is one of the two bars that is the nightlife in Lopburi. This one is called 'Come On Bar'.

**Captain Sensible** · 11-02-2006, 12:09 PM

And this gaff called 'The White House' is contiguous.

I think that The White House does rooms as well. There are a few empty shops in this precinct that might be worth putting a fridge in and selling beers from.

What are you? Limp? Get off the train and turn left. This aint Bangers mate.

**DrAndy** · 13-02-2006, 10:29 AM

like a nice place for a visit

I will have to pencil it in

pause: I actually typed "looks like a nice...etc" but this board seems to reject the first few letters, unless you wait for it to fully load

so hardly a quick reply then!

**Captain Sensible** · 13-02-2006, 06:15 PM

To be honest I havent got a clue what soi the bars are on. All the soi signs are in foriegn. You wont miss them though as they are in the same soi as the night market (I think).

**marklatham** · 13-02-2006, 06:29 PM

A monkey sitting on an HT kingswood-what a great shot.
My ex missus is from near lop buri and the monkeys are venerated.Isn't there a shrine in the town inhabited by hundreds of them?
There is an old story about the lop buri monkeys catching the train to some other town to beat up their monkeys.
The monkeys are loved because of their role in some battle long ago.

Damn our roving reporter has forgotten which network he works for.

Sounds downright scary up there. It all foreign

The wise words of a man who has defintely been there!

I think I referred to the Lopburi 300 baht short time girls on one of DDs threads!

Reinvented is actually talking about a different place to me. Which is kind of frightening really - so Lopburi has TWO places with 300 baht short time girls who look like paras?

CS...the fact you were in bed by 10-00 pm in your night out in Lopburi is either testament to your more discerning taste...or evidence of the lack thereof!

Hk had a different rear light...

**Captain Sensible** · 18-02-2006, 11:44 PM

Can I beg to differ? Your pic is of the two door Monaro. The original pic

is of the 4 door, common all garden HK. Though the tail lights are exactly the same. Are they not? *grins*

**Captain Sensible** · 18-02-2006, 11:49 PM

Oh bugger. They arent. Damn.

**Captain Sensible** · 18-02-2006, 11:51 PM

Anyway so Lopburi is great.

I would embue anyone to visit Lopburi. It is timeless. Except for HT/HK Holdens, where you will always find someone who wants to argue. *grins* What is up with my doodah, Xzyte?

**Torbek** · 19-02-2006, 12:14 AM

Not a bad town!

I've just finished two nights "starring" - well, along with 50-100 others - in an historical re-enactment of events in Lopburi in 1660. Played a farang ambassador from the time - well, more like just ponced about in a silly outfit.

Part of the annual King Narai festival here, held in his palace grounds. Three performances a night to about 1,000 people around the lit ruins of 17th century buildings.

All good fun and one of the attractions of living in a rural town - being asked to participate in shit like this!

I will miss this sort of thing once I move to Bangkok week after next...

(I'd post a picture but don't know how!)

**poolcleaner** · 19-02-2006, 12:18 AM

I get asked by girls all the time to put in an historic performance here in Bangers!

**Torbek** · 19-02-2006, 12:28 AM

Yes...but as the girls might find out the "hard" way...what you ask for and what you get can be two very different things!

Oh they can ask for the world but it's the 'folding they're holding' that really satisfies them!

Lop Buri is home to RTAFB Koke Khatiem and nearby gunnery range. Also main staging base for Thai SF. For the past few years, I'd go there during during the Spring. We lived in the Lop Buri Inn -- a Monkey Hotel featuring a pair of 10-meter tall lings outside with a monkey scrotum the size of a washing machine. Great photos to send home to mum!

Anyway the side of a nearby mountain is called Chandy Range. Thai and US fighters drop 1,000 pound bombs on bamboo targets that some brave Thais set out. Once the targets are set up, they crawl into a bunker in the mountain and wait for the BOOM. Then they crawl out and set up new targets -- while the jets are circling overhead. Feckin madness.

When is that? If it still goes on.
