Comming back to BKK
Finally my current project is ending after several extensions and I get to go back to my beloved Thailand. I will be there for about a week to start off before heading to PI so I can say I've been there, done that.  Will be in BKK from 4/1 thru 4/8 initally and looking for people that love go-go's as much as I do and follow the Frank Zappa theme of "titties and beer" to the ninth degree. Or at least the titties part. muahhh Well as much as you can in BKK anyways.  PM or post if interested. Chok dee all.

Thanks Paul!
And I will get there earlier on April 7th, so Jossie and Sitrom if you want another drinking and carousing partner we can have some fun before the handsum Boston guy shows up.

That is true, but when they deal with the outside world, they dont use their own date formats.

Mate 10c is bloody freezing, thats 3 jacket weather, well for me anyway.
The temperature thing is normally very obviously which scale is being used, but the date thing is not always so obvious.

(Degrees celsius X 1.8) + 32 = degrees fahrenheit
(10 C x 1.8) + 32 = 50 F
I always right down the month when I ask for something so there is no confusion.
Got a response from the Dynasty Inn Grande using the US way for dates.

So where will you be for the 8th in the afternoon? I'm normally at Morning/Night 1 but I'll meander on over to Big Dogs. Just look for the only guy with shaved head and that will be me.  I'm also booked into Nana, I swear they think I'm a resident there. 555555555 Majestic was booked solid.
