Book your next flight ticket is always a good cure as I said. But there are some others.
I was in LOS only two times. First time in feb 2002 for one week. There i got the patong virus

A few days after this trip i had a relation for until august last year. So for a very long time i couldn't go back. But i didn't miss LOS in this time because i had a wonderful girlfriend at this time.
As soon as I was single again i called my mate and he booked the flight for our second tour of duty, the lions were ready for the feeding.
But it took still 2 months to wait, and in this time could happen a lot.
So one day i went in a disco and met a thai-girl. And this one was a real stunner. We got togheter in a open relationship where sex was the main thing. I told her that i will go to LOS. And then she said me she goes at this time to LOS too and wanted to join us there.
I said "well no problem, but bring also some entertainment for my mate" (she did)
So we stayed togheter in LOS for 4 days (after that she went back europe) I think this 4 days were the best days of the whole trip
But the contact still exists.

so why to go to LOS?
Sorry guys i floated away from the subject. But historys like this makes it easier to survive outside LOS. And will go this year to LOS again for sure.
And i know the date. 24 december. To know this helps me a lot.
And at new years eve i'm in patong. cya there!
Maybe i will go for a short trip in august but this isn't sure.
