An uncanny likeness. :)

Partridges for sale in a local market. Uncooked. Fifty baht a brace.

They did to me in the market, but I asked to make sure. He said ดิบ. With a closer inspection, I could definitely see some raw meat. Note the dark red lines. Partially cooked, perhaps.

They look fowl to me. :)
Could have been dipped in boiling water to get the feathers off?

TizShe's birthday yesterday so we checked in to the Vivere Hotel in Alabang for a couple of nights.
We usually travel to beach resorts around the Philippines during our short staycations, but as the weather has been atrocious this week I'm glad we didn't.
This photo is the dining area for breakfast, during a brief break in the rain this morning.
^looks good, Tizme. Never been to Vivere Hotel but I regularly go to Alabang for errands and shopping, as I'm from the south. Renewed my passport last month at ATC. Yeah, weather has been bad the past few days - hopefully it will clear up soon. Belated birthday greetings to Ms. TizShe! :)
^ great shot that mate
The jumping one is not any old kid, look at that arm, it' s Stretch Armstrong:)
That's my lunatic godson.
Terrific kid.
Terrific name too, he's called "Thorkill".
Top bloke.
Someone spilled some water. What do you see?

Annoyed. :D

Morning stroll.

Don't fancy living next to that lot. :)
It thought it was normally done with an ink drop and folded paper.
Anyway, looking at it normally, looks like a Dinosaur head in fossil.
Tilting the image counterclockwise 90degrees, sort of looks like one of those African carved wooden masks.
What I'd like to see are the winning Lotto numbers :chitown:
I'll be back with an outline later.
Don't see either of those. :)
Darth Vader riding a motorbike through the cosmos, wearing a poncho (it's cold in outer space ! :)) and with a scarf of invisibility around his neck.
Facing stage left.

You got it brother. :)
Great minds think alike. It's a very organic motorbike, but others here were likely fooled by the scarf of invisibility. Along with light, they tend to twist simpler minds. :)
Dave's odd.
PMY beach at Rayong is a load of rubbish

Polluted as hell due to numerous factories/chemical plants nearby. The city is drab as hell. Ban Phe is a tourist hellhole. Koh Samet is an overpriced garbage dump. And the Chinese....
Luckily the Casa V1 hotel in the centre of town was heavenly. Owned by a very talented graphic designer with penchant for baking cakes sold in the top hotels and Starbucks, the adjoining restaurant is a culinary miracle.
Oh, and the cakes are sold at 'wholesale' prices. 50 baht a slice with a choice of over 20 different ones.

Agreed DJ.
When we lived in Ban Chang we'd often visit the various beaches and they were all appalling.
Plastic is destroying the world.
Isn't that right Jeff?
Laem Chabang, too.
Basically the anus of the eastern seaboard...with an oil enema to deal with too.
I drove around there for ten days....based in Pattaya.
Freaktard posted about me staying in Pattaya over that week and a half for about 5 years.
Putting that aside, it was when I decided a base up north would be better.
Rayong is basically fucking vile.
Rayong itself can be forgiven as it's not really a tourist city. Central, Big C...the usual places. Night market was nothing new
It's when you hit the beaches nearby and you think "what the hell is this" especially when so many online (mostly Thais) say it's "sanook maak & suay"
Almost didn't get the boat at Ban Phe. The market stank of fish and the usual Pattaya rabble with their rented poontang and the backpacking mob really do live up to the stereotype.
Did talk with an ltalian guy who was travelling solo after fleeing a group of Kao San Road backpackers and giving Samet a miss. He instead decided to head to Klaeng ''just for the hell of it and an adventure"
Can't make the ridiculous excuse that it's low season!
Initially we'd.....no.....l'd booked a hotel a few miles along the coast towards Ban Phe. We checked in, paid, then swiftly checked out an hour later.
"Why, Pat?" I hear you ask...
Those photos will be posted very soon.
Possibly the lamest thread hijack cliffhanger....EVER!!
In the van going back, and posting pics on a phone is a pain in the arse
Those beaches have improved a bit since I recon'ed the place a few months ago. :)
But will you be having a blt or a sausage sarney for lunch tomorrow?
And how's the stumpy leg?
Enquiring minds...:D

Are there any other men you've never met, but are spending your holiday evenings actively wondering about, or just us two? :)
Probably a BLT.
Hoof's better, slight blister on me left heel, since you asked.

No pain no gain. :)

Nice Beach hotel, Rayong. I stupidly booked the place because of this:
1100 a night
The dream:

Taken from their website, including a picture of what I now suspect is a suicide
We entered a lobby so gloomy I wondered if it had been shut down. 990 Baht. Ok you get what you pay for, but this was pushing it a bit...
