I hear he got banned.

Pfffffft! USC will not go down.

Man, what's a nightspot without a ladyboy? Honestly, we didn't really hit any nightspots. We stayed in the Sukhumvit Rd. area which was way mellower than Khao San Rd. I couldn't even hear myself think on Khao San Rd during the day, I don't know how people could sleep there at night. There was a cool bar by where we were staying, outdoor and no bar girls. Called Chucks I think, on Soi Sukhumvit 11. Takes about 30 minutes from the airport with no traffic. Costs about $6 for a cab into town. I can't imagine going into a bar in Bangkok as a guy alone, the bar girls are relentless. I went walking for 10 minutes without my girlfriend once, and the girls were grabbing at me trying to pull me in. . . not that that doesn't happen to me everywhere

I might be up for it. Depending on how the skiing is shaping up, I'll play.

Have fun Avie! I'm headed back to Bangkok tomorrow night, and then home on Monday so we probably won't run into each other. Have a great time though. And you should definitely check out the little coffee stand across the road from the Green Valley in Ton Sai. It's really cool, and the guy who runs it is awesome.

Hey everyone! I'm in Thailand right now. I just left Ton Sai and it was amazing. I stayed in Rai Lai with my girlfriend for 3 nights, and then realized we should be in Ton Sai. It's 10x more laid back, and pretty much all climbers. Really cool and cheap. The longer you stay, the cheaper the places are. I stayed at the Green Valley Resort which has bungalows ranging from bamboo shacks with for about $10 a night to wood places (where I stayed) for about $15, to brick places for $25 a night. There's also apparently a place up in the hills where you can stay for 100 Baht per night. That's $2.50 a day. Basically a bamboo box, and you have to worry about monkeys stealing your stuff. There's lots of construction going on right now, a lot of beachfront buildings were lost in the tsunami but a ton have already rebuilt. The Ton Sai places were rebuilt pretty basic for the most part, out of wood, bamboo, and thatched roofs. Speaking of tsunami, my girlfriend and I are in Khao Lak right now, about a 2.5 hour drive from Krabi. This area was the hardest hit area in Thailand, with around 80-90% of the population lost. We're volunteering with the reconstruction and it's amazing. Meeting the nicest people we've ever met, both locals and volunteers from around the world. If anybody is interested, their website is www.tsunamivolunteer.net. Anybody can show up to volunteer, but (as we found out when we showed up yesterday) they require a minimum of 2 weeks work. Luckily, there are tons of other projects going on and we met up with other people and got some work. We've seen some crazy stuff, specifically the three boats that got washed ashore at least a mile from the beach. I'll post pictures when I get back. Much more sobering to see in person than in pictures or on the news.

You forgot

Edit: Nevermind.

Beautiful shot, nice work!

Oops, sorry. I'm not too skilled at trolling for lovers on craigslist.

Just searched, there's more. Needing a season pass for skiing with bene's - 38 - For the older set. Doesn't mention gender though. Any bets on who gets their pass first?

Rumr, aren't you a wrestler? I bet you see this kind of crazy crash weight loss stuff all the time. My little brother wrestles in high school and the stuff they do to themselves to make weight makes me sick.

Another one. Caption please:

While Olyclimber lets off some steam and I try to get Dru's dumb-assed song out of my head, I'll post the intended picture:

I made the unfortunate mistake of skiing Timberline on Sunday. In Iain's first picture you can see the remnants of the whiteout we were in. Zero visibility and crap ice/crust. Glad at least somebody got some good turns in though.

Pretty much weekly at Rocky Butte. Portland climbing thread

Been there.

I'm planning on buying the K2 Mt. Baker for powder days, I'll let you know how they are as soon as I ski them.

archenemy has the directions tattooed on her ass what do they say? "other side" "Wrong hole, dick!"

Good call, CC. Sure looks like it. And the fat(ter) kid's arms look articulated just like my old GIJoes!

Cool info! Thanks for asking, badvoodoo. I'll be there in 2 weeks. I'll let you know where I go, pictures, etc. We were planning on heading south to the beaches, but we might head north to Chang Mai and check out the climbing.
