Hi Tony & Jessie.

Great to meet you guys, hope to see you again.

I think you said you were planning on visiting again next Oct or so – make sure to drop me a line and visit Chang Mai.

And now to the best part of the trip – massage – I spent most of my time every day relaxing on the beach, then enjoying a great massage. 

First:  At Rainbow Beach   (Dongtan Beach in the Jontiem Beach Area) we meet “Aud”  (standing above, his phone +66–840056238) manager and his great massage team.  Both John and myself had an ‘on the beach’ massage, but I really didn’t like the wind and sand while getting a massage so I retired to our hotel for a 2 hr oil massage from “Kid”.    Actually several days while we were there.      Heaven !!!!!!

 And what a great massage – the best I have ever had, 500 Baht + tip.  WOW – WOW – WOW

I asked Kid to move to Chiang Mai and promised to have a weekly massage but that wasn’t enough to make him move – even if I paid 1000 Baht each – he is really booked at the beach and you will need reservations to get in line.   Call first.

John said he also got a great massage from “Tan”  – not from the beach but from a shop near Boyztown – I meet Tan one evening while we were having dinner and he gave me these photos to post – nice shots

These are some additional shots taken from the “Tower” that I forgot to add to the last post – you can see the sign and tower there – sorry for the seperation but it saves reloading the first post.

Here are some utilities that you must have.  FREE from Microsoft, they really let you see what is happening in your computer.  SYSinternals

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. 

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

And also get  Autoruns for Windows v9.51 – to be able to see exactly what is loaded in your system.

Lets start off with a great deal from Thomas Kalb, manager of Le Cafe Royale Hotel, Restaurant – Piano Bar in BoyzTown, Pattaya.  He has offered to give a discount to anyone booking in the Hotel if they mention AsianCoOp in a email to him before booking.  What a nice gesture. 

They are the second venue on your left when you enter BoyzTown – John and I had dinner here 4 nights in a row the food was so good, Cottage Pie and Pork Chops were my favorites.  I also stayed for the music and really recommend that you do not miss DK and Richard ( El Duo ).  These guys were great.

From here I went next door to “Toy Boys Night Club” to see the show – and was also not disappointed.  Wow – great young men, over 20 when I was there – and what eye candy.   Manager “Puk” was very attentive to our needs and he did ask the boys if I could take a picture to put in the blog – Sorry, many of the boys were still going to college and didn’t want their pictures on the web –  You just have to go there and see for yourself.

Sorry for the slow posting, or actually no postings at all.  It’s not that I have been busy, but that Nu has been in the hospital and things have just been very chaotic. 

Nu will leave the hospital tomorrow and stay with his Aunt & Uncle while I go to Bangkok.  Neighbors are watching the house and dog so everything taken care of there.  I will have more information on Nu's recovery when I get back. 

My friend John from San Diego will arrive in Bangkok this Saturday and I will meet him there and drive back to Chiang Mai seeing the sights along the way.  I rented a larger car and I have the cameras, so I do expect to get some shots to show.

Soooooooooooooo – see you soon.
