What been happening and what is happening now!

Da Wizard's business has been booming away so time to blog has been very limited to say the least. Of course the weekends have been as they always are and we have been avoiding the dark rooms twitching for hours as much as we can.

Loi Kratong was last night and for those of you that don't know what that is here's a quick lesson:

“Loi Krathong” is traditionally performed on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month, which usually falls on some day in November. The floating of a ‘Krathong' – a banana–leaf cup – is intended to float away ill fortune as well as to express apologies to Khongkha or Ganga, the River Goddess. Some believe that the ritual is meant to worship the Buddha's footprint on the bank of the Narmada River, while others say that it is to pay respect to Phra Uppakhut, one of the Lord Buddha's great disciples.

The Loi Krathong Festival is celebrated nationwide in Thailand, especially where there are rivers, canals or sources of water, with different unique characteristics.

Basically in terms that our regulars will understand its the night of the year when all the goats where traditional dress and go float candles with their lovers.

Last night all the goats in Patpong were on a 2000bht fine if they didn't show for work (the majority of PP Goats have Thai boyfriends) so the bars were packed.

Ralph got hammered and became lairy so the night was cut short. Homer and Da Wizard were happy to get our heads down early as work requires our full attention right now as the Xmas rush is starting.

Da Wizard presently has a fulltime Mia Noi on the books. Twenty nine years old working as a Nanny in our building. Both Homer and me have been rating her highly for ages now but we thought she was only 17 so left her alone....one Da Wizard discovered she was 29....well I was in like Flyn wasn't I?

Ya and I did a waitress with 5 fingers too down in Sukhumvit much to the disgust of Homer and Bangkok dog who is currently crusading in Iraq. (5 Fingers ie no thumbs)

The world is flat... Bali trip being planned....weekend just around the corner!
