Those "professionals" with an SLR would hard sell his services and after one or two shots, those professionals would tell the cheongsters that there were a few more frames of film in their cameras, why not take them all. The cheongster would think that afterall, those professionals wont be able to locate him after he had gone back to Hatyai, so no risk loh to have all the film finished off.

Then....at night, there would be hard and frantic knockings on the cheongster's hotel room door, and when opened...dah-dah-dah-dah...the professional camera man would be standing at the door front and flapping 20 or 36 copies of the cheongstera and puying's photos! An exhorbident charge would be imposed and the cheongster would not dare to refuse...got caught and fleeced loh

Now, maybe, 'Ah Pek, hong kang.....'

Yaloh, some may even refuse to be booked by old uncles like me, fearing that their bodies could induce heart attack and they don't like to be anywhere near me

They will shake their heads and say "CHAN MAI AO KON GEH"

My first trip to Hatyai was in 1979. I was a very good boy then. I was there to study on the Thai culture with many other university students on an exchange program with the University of Songhkla. All of us behaved very well then

My second trip was in 2005 ! where I met TV and the rest was history.

Talking of Uncle TV, any news where is he now ???

I heard rumours that he is no longer working as an OKT in Hatyai and is back in SillyPore

I think I first went to Haadyai in the 70's ..... bus trip from Golden Mile, S'pore took 16 (?) hours ( in those days the North-South Highway wasn't built yet ) ..... sit until backside pain .... can't sleep on the bus at all .... LT at that time only cost 300 bahts ..... for top-rated puyings LT only cost about 600 to 1,000 bahts at that time .... I remember I went on a 10-days solo trip at one time ..... fucked so many times in 1 day for a few days until cock swollen and no more sperms left ..... had to rest for a few days to recover and only went for Thai Traditional Massage for those few days

Yes, without shadow of a doubt.

Still remember booking MP for the Boobs massages. Wooo....

Hmm...juz wondering, any pic..especially one fm President Hotel. Wo boh, bro?

Heard that during the 70s, the gals would wash your underwear...crocodile brand shortsbander or something like that? . and iron your clothing without being asked.

No such things liao in the late 80s during my trips there...anyway, not keen for them to wash my underwear.

Emperor Disco was then the best and the only two hotels that got swimming pool ie. Grand Plaza and JB Hotel.

No worries...I may be wrong. Only vaguely remembered when I asked for it, only the two hotels were quoted. Hotels like the Central Sukhothai, Novetel now i believe, wasn;t up yet. I remembered that old Sukhothai hotel next to Grand Plaza was waiting to be demolished...taking over from it was the new Lee Garden Hotel.

I thought I saw him selling household products at Thomson Plaza..... but that salesman vehemently denied he is bro TV.

Maybe he got twin brother.

The best thing is that we can smoke in the bus all the way to Hatyai and they even show R rated movies in the bus
