Had a hacking problem on the blog but I think that is taken care of now – back to posting – lot to take about - stay tuned for updates.

I just saw a movie, “Hugo”, with a friend of mine – this has to be the best movie I have seen since “Avatar”. We both had tears before the end of the movie, and that is surprising since my friend is Thai and does not understand English that well – and I am sure the Thai subtitles are not accurate – the movie itself can tell the story. I think a MUST SEE. Here’s a review.

Are you looking for a Harley-Davidson or perhaps American or Tex food, maybe a club with live music and 2 full pool tables -
THEN, The Purple Space Monkey, is the place to go. Went there yesterday for lunch with Jerry and was really surprised – great food at reasonable pricing. Planning on going back to catch some of the entertainment and see what the place is like at night. I can recommend the food – next I’ll try out the show.
The Purple Space Monkey is a combined Custom Bike shop and bar/restaurant located in the road mid way along Jomtien Beach Rd,( where there is a police box) and you turn left and its on your left 1/2 way down the road that leads to Sukumvit Rd.

Here’s a new model “Nut” and what he wanted for an image.
We will have another session soon and should have some more shots to post – at least if he agrees, that is. This one he is going to send home – maybe he will approve a couple just for the blog, that would be nice. He picked the background – not friends but he said he wished they were.

Need a ride to Bangkok
– try Pattaya Van start from TukCom pickup site (across the street and up about 1 block) – to Victory Monument BTS station – 1 1/2 hr. ride 97 Baht 6Am to 8PM
While your in the TukCom area stop and get a great massage at Somjit – Tom is my favorite masseur
.
Right around the corner is the Sunee Plaza area – and a great little restaurant called Little Mango – the owner is Ken and he offers great food, service and pricing – when you go to Sunee don’t miss it. I don’t have a photo right now so I’ll also introduce a great site to follow on gay life in Pattaya and BKK NICKY’s Gay Thailand
And I also want to introduce and recommend UK Salon in Jontiem Beach.

Last week we took a quick trip to the Silverlake and Sattahip areas south of Pattaya and on the way back stopped at a small fishing village at the end of Pattaya Beach. Not sure of the name but here is a image of one of the fishing boats. Or I should say ‘my version’.
It’s a composite line drawing and photo – I am going to do another version in Coral Painter and make the painting strokes more apparent. I also have a lot more images to process and will try to make a slideshow of them to post later too.
And here is a image I created for “Boy” so he can send it home for his family.
I have also found a condo to rent ( at least I hope so – final papers will be drawn up next week and I should be moved in before the end of the month). It’s a 1 bedroom with kitchen – within walking distance from the beach and should be very quiet.
Really looking forward to getting settled in and

Here are a couple of images of Kay – he works in a bar near Walking Street Area of Pattaya. Lovely boy and great model – I’ll post some more shots as I complete them for him and of course he approves.

First, I always go the North end of Jomtien Beach and rent a chair to enjoy the afternoon. The predominate gay area (flying the rainbow flags) is almost in the middle – between the police station and the north end of the beach. Before and after are mostly family areas – Here’s some quick shots. And then to the wind surfing area, Parachute gliding, and ski boats :

Just sitting here watching TV tonight and I realized that I am now in real retirement. I went to do my 90-day report with Immigration, it was fast and efficient – 15 min and on my way – then I took my ailing monitor in and found out that what I had was a bad cable – problem solved at minimum cost – a little shopping for food and then a trip to the beach to see friends – 2 hr. there, then 3 propositions from young men on the way home from the beach. Hectic day
I have just been going over my options for tonight
a. Have young man come and give a 2 hr. oil massage – 600B b. Go to Sunee Plaza and see some shows – 120 B / drink + tips c. Go to Walking Street and check out the local action. ? B d. Go to Jomtien Complex and catch the Cabaret show “Venue” e. From Gay Romeo invite a young man over for the evening. f. Just stay home tonight and enjoy some TV and computer timeI think I have elected to do “F” tonight - there’s always tomorrow.
What a great feeling to know that tomorrow and the days after will afford the same or more options. Truly a great retirement. Of

Just getting used to Pattaya, little hotter than Chiang Mai, but has so much more to offer. My daily trips to the beach has opened many new friendships and several evenings I have taken in local shows. What’s nice is that they are within walking distance – so boredom is becoming a thing of the past .
Here’s a photo of a new friend I met. Photography is still my major activity – Models are also easier to get here – so I intend to post more images in the future ( and paintings, I’m working on a few now)
This afternoon a friend will stop by to work together on Photoshop and developing better photo skills – he’s a professional journalistic photographer and I really look forward to learning new techniques.
Later this evening, Dana, will arrive from the US and I will meet him in Boys Town. This will be the first time I’ve gone there and plan to bring my camera to get some shots.

Happy New Year
Here is a general shot of the Jomtiem Area of Pattaya. I am staying until high-season is over at the Jomtiem Beach Condo at the lower left. The gay beach area is up by the Jomtiem Complex and Sunee Plaza ( twinks ) and Boy’s Town (macho-beefy boys) are closer to Walking Street in the center left. I also show the Alcazar and Tiffany – Ladyboy Cabaret shows. I will start posting about local businesses, venues, clubs, etc. and point out the best values in Pattaya.
