Anyone in Thailand do flight of the gibbon ziplines :Jump:

[Tawi2]

Just did flight of the gibbon zip-lining again this morning, the Chiang-mai one with an 800 meter zip-line and one where your harness is clipped at the back, you throw yourself off the platform and zip across a valley to catch a net on the other side :smile: the photographer was a pinay she came here to work and ended up marrying a Thai,met quite a few PI nationals since we arrived.

Did you wear your gopro when you was doing this.

My kid did Steve,i got a GoPro glove with the 360 degree fitting, and today he held the karma grip gimbal so the footage is silky smooth, great investment :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Tawi2]

I met a pinoy guy earlier today,been teaching English in Thailand for the last 11 years :cwm24: he learnt to speak thai from the kids he teaches :smile:

Best way to learn it they say, just like boots on the ground stuff.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I heard 'pillow talk' was the best way...:cwm24:

That's what the old colonials used to say,get a sleeping dictionary :smile:

[Tawi2]

Saw two Pinoy/Pinay :Erm: homosexual male prostitutes in Pattaya's walking street last night. They are a long way from home seeking clients :Erm:

[grahamw48]

Hopefully they won't be spreading HIV around...there and back home. :NoNo:

[Tawi2]

Well, it's a known Pinoy fact, despite rocketing HIV statistics in the PI, that wearing condoms is like eating candy still in the wrapper :doh :Cuckoo: :biggrin:

Have you've been on that terrorist induction course over yonder yet?

Good time to pass. The Sayyaf are looking for staff. :biggrin::wink:

[Tawi2]

I really don't think such a course could teach me anything :smile: or if I did it I would be top of the class :wink: My course is starting next Tuesday :smile: I am sitting beside the pool eating croissants and drinking coffee and reading the daily mail online,life is good :wink:

It sounds good apart from the last part.

Nothing wrong with perusing the daily mail beside the pool on a morning :wink:

[Tawi2]

Had lessons in 2 separate planes in the last week, and spent the day running in 33 degrees with 32 kg's of machine strapped on my back; going to extend my ticket as the world paramotor championships is on the 27th :smile:

So that's the course you've been on huh?

Thought flying would have been involved somewhere in all honesty although a course in terrorism and one in handling world money did cross my mind.

:REGamblMoney01HL1::wink:

Flying yes, but surely you mean counter-terrorism, and I have a hard enough job handling my own few pennies never mind world cash :bigcry:

[Tawi2]

Just met two Brit guys at breakfast, one's 48, one's 50 - both retired here - and living the Thai dream, coffee beside the pool :icon_lol:

No mate, these guys have a couple of quid stashed away :biggrin:

I got that chute Graham, my landings were perfect today; Songkran today so just arrived in Bangkok to eat at Jai Fai's, the only street vendor in the world with a Michelin star! :smile:

[Tawi2]

Just met 7 Filipinas on the BTS train,all on vacation for Songkran,ages from 25-35 I was telling them about my son and 5 said they were single and "available" :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]

Haha.... my son also has a large Filipina fan club. :icon_lol:

You seem to be having a great time over there.

I'm not jealous. Got cloud and 10C here. :cwm3:

[Tawi2]

It's 35 degrees here and sunny as it gets. Not in a rush to come back :wink:

[Ako Si Jamie]

You still haven't tried basejumping yet Tawi?

[Tawi2]

Strange you mention that, but I had dinner the other week with a Brit who showed me footage of him jumping off Pattaya's highest new build. And met a Brit living out here the other day who owns a wing suit and has regular holidays to Italy to jump off cliffs. My mind is set on doing this however (go to 2.20 when it starts getting interesting).......

Good video. Not visiting Pinas while you're in the vicinity? And where's her indoors? Is she not in Thailand too?
