finally made it to pattaya.

around 4pm yesterday afternoon, I boarded a bus to pattaya, and arrived around 6:30pm. I was really hungry at the time. so, instead of getting a room right away, I made a stop over at the lek hotel all-you-can-eat buffet, and stuffed myself full of baby back ribs. called the bay area boys to see what they were up to. and then, went looking for a room. found this place for 400 baht a night. and after taking a quick shower, went cruising around the old haunts. ..so many new changes since I was in pattaya last - about 6 months ago. got a call from the bay area boys - errol flynn, dennis the menace, and thor. met up with them. hung out a little. around 11pm thereabouts, I went over to walking street to meet up with mike jagger. tried to touch bases with beenthere and hammer, but was not successful. I know bill cosby, and the smothers brothers are here. but have not seen them yet. anyway, mike jagger and I did the people oogling routine like everybody else was doing. I downed like 4 beers during the time we were walking around. 4 beers is a lot for me. I was feeling somewhat drowsy. ended up going home slowly walking down beach road at around 2am in the morning.

today, I changed hotels and then went to eat at the apex breakfast buffet. dennis the menace joined me. we ate. he rented a motorcycle. gave me a lift back to my hotel. I popped in to rest. and the next thing you know, I slept another 4 hours. ..it's about 4:30pm now. and in a half baked half awake mood, I'm writing this post. when I am done here, I will endeavor to get to the royal garden mall, and do my old man shuffle around there. if there is a good movie playing, I might do that. otherwise, I will head to mcdonalds, and lay about there sipping on a coke, and munch on a cheeseburger - another one of my routines when I am in pattaya.

tonight, I am not sure what I will be doing. maybe go check out one of the gogo bars, and walk down beach road for a looksee. I am thinking of returning to bangkok early tomorrow morning because my maid is coming in at around 9am. later tonight, if I don't think I can make it, I'll call her to reschedule.

that's it from this half dead, down and out, drowsy lounge lizard.
