A lazy million Baht, how would you treat yourself?.

**Bobcock** · 09-01-2015, 01:34 PM

Camera gear, I do it every year but I've run out of things to buy....so it's replacements now....

**slackula** · 09-01-2015, 01:44 PM

Flying lessons. I've always wanted to learn to fly and not the balcony aerobatics so popular here in the Land of Suicides.

Failing that I'd buy a big fuckoff boat and tow it into the harbour and blow it up; I've always wanted to watch one sink.

**Bobcock** · 09-01-2015, 03:17 PM

I don't think you get much in the way of big fuck off boats for a million baht

i don't think that breaks the rule of no travel in your fantasy, sort of...

Think you get a bit over 4 months, max for a million baht.

(about 700 ringgit per night = (approx.) 7000 baht.

1,000,000/7000 = 142 nights

142/30 (say) is about 4.7 months.

...and that is without a single order from room service.

1 million baht is about 30,000 US$. Nice chunk of change, but it ain't going to go that far in the "luxury" stakes....

Shabby place, no class at all.

Been there a very sterile atmosphere of snooty hi-sos,awful service,piss poor for the money,may better choices unless just showing off to a thai tart.

I would enjoy trying to make it in to 2 million.

If you fail, nothing lost because you were only gonna spunk it up the wall anyway.

I could get the FiL to do it for you if you like, he has experience, 4,500 baht all in...

Here's an example of his work:

I think there's some exterior paint left over too, so we can fix you up with that...

Funny you should mention it, but I left the Cititel because it was so crap for the money, full of middle class Malaysians with their guys slugging out of hypocritical hip flasks and falling out of the lift pissed as silly farts. I then booked into the last room in the E&O and found much comfort and ease. Great service without that ingratiating Thai smirking and ka-kap - ing like a flock of fucking deranged gannets fighting over a burger.
Been back several times and never regretted a moment.Perhaps you are Welsh and they sensed it, in which case I can well understand how you may have been disadvantaged.

Particularly liked the service by the pool with minions tending to our needs without having to flap about to gain attention which is the norm with Thai skivvies obsessed with excavating their nasal passages, gawping at any reflective surface to check out their spots and simply standing there mute as if their fucking batteries had just run out.

Great breakfasts too even if the the snorker front was a bit iffy. Chicken sausages are an aquired taste and, frankly, only a fucking Muslim would relish them.

One of my favorite places and so handy for the Indian restaurants up the jalan.

Used 1959 Austin Healey Sprite for sale in Essex | Pistonheads

£19,995.

**Seekingasylum** · 10-01-2015, 12:52 AM

£600 new, top speed 86 MPH, 0 to 60 in 20 seconds. Most of it was cobbled from Morris Minors and the parts bin from Austin.

Like most rubbish from the 50s and 60s it is only attractive because of its age and nostalgia for le temps perdu.

You'd just look silly in it, like an old man dancing at a wedding.

fear of appearing silly, and some might say pretentious, didnt stop you from purchasing a mac.

That's gonna be extra, I'll have to add another 450 baht to the original quote...

Why is the Seekingasylum speaking so much French/Latin/Non-English nowadays??? Could he secretly be a frog-eyed garlic muncher?

The garlic in the sausages is affecting him?

Are you suggesting that TheSeekingasylum is being buggered by Papillion, and that is why he was turned away from Gullivers - their hand down each others trousers approach to the front door riled the security folk?
