Just got back from LOS patong beach, i stayed at my usual haunt the Yorkshire Inn. I love it there the staff know me by now and make me feel very welcome, its also with in easy striking distance of most of the spots i liked to visit especialy Bangala Rd.I called to see a girl i have known for 18 months and had kept in touch, she seemed different and a bit evasive, so first night with her was a wast of time! so decided to say "by by" and to move onto pastures new!
On second night met a girl with a smile and looks that blew me away She works till late and you cant bar fine her she is staff (true or false who knows) i waited till the end of shift quite drunk by now, but without going into detail the planets collided! iam engaged again! over the next ten days heaven was a place called Patong Beach! I have her number but iam sure some guy will snap her up!
I developed a routine of having an afternoon swim in Thai Life which is affiliated to Yorkshire Inn, then wandered out the back entrance to stumble across "Faulty Towers Bar" spent a few great afternoons chatting to Paddy and downing a few bottles of dark Lao beer 6.5%

after a few conversations with paddy i explained on my next trip i want to get into other things other than girls and bars (which i love) so will be taking a 4 day dive course doing at least one hash run and finding a fishing lake i was told about. So i hope to keep my days full and active at least thats the plan if it works

Roll on Feb 2008 best wishes to paddy and all the guys i met at the Faulty Towers bar thanks for the useful info, see you in Feb guys.
