WATCH OUT THAILAND, THE PANDA IS ON HIS WAY
 
PLEASE POST THIS MESSAGE ALL AROUND BANGKOK ESPECIALLY IN THE SLEEZY PLACES AND ALL MASSAGE VENUES...

THE ROS WHICH IS ALREADY AT A LOW EBB, WILL SINK EVEN FURTHER IN PUBLIC OPINION....

a bangkok lover...

I have sent all the women and children in our village up to our secret cave. Let me know if this is enough protection or not!

simpsonc510 Nov 14th, 2007 06:24 PM

I guess I'll warn DS to keep a low profile (Ken too) for the next few days. lol Thanks for the warning! :)

easytraveler Nov 14th, 2007 06:43 PM

Oh shucks! I was planning to go to Thailand - now that trip has to be postponed!

When is "The Panda" leaving Thailand?

Now THIS is a funny posting . . . . .

Be afraid, very afraid...

Hide those speedos or they will mysteriously disappear...

simpsonc510 Nov 15th, 2007 05:57 AM

Is he in-flight so he doesn't know we're talking about him??

Tim_and_Liz Nov 15th, 2007 06:29 AM

Have fun, Andy!

Craig,

"Be afraid, very afraid..."

If you use your Elmer Fudd's voice it's hysterical, lol

Just got the official Starwood alert in my email that reads:

"no children will be allowed at or in the pool area of the Bangkok Royal Orchid Sheraton until further notice" ;)

Aloha!



Gpanda Nov 15th, 2007 09:21 AM

We leave tomorrow. Everyone in BKK is really excited. They have missed their Panda. Who can blame them?

Gathering all the women and children in one cave will make it much easier for me. Then I won't have to wander all over town. Plus the darkness of a cave will help the speedo effect.

The ROS is undoubtedly just completing their yearly panda refurbishment. My lounge chair at the pool is reserved.

You can imagine the joy in my upcoming arrival and the fact that the Bob will miss BKK this year. There is joy in Mudville.

The poor ROS...to have to tolerate such an unBEARable guest! Happy Travels!

lcuy Nov 15th, 2007 09:53 AM

No Bob in Bangkok? And Panda's on the loose? (no joes about Speedos here...)

Actually without Bob, and with Beth's quiet elegance to deflect attention from Gpanda, I think all will be fine at the ROS...for the first hour at least.

Have a great trip Andy!


simpsonc510 Nov 15th, 2007 10:11 AM

Andy,
Didn't realize you'd pop in and read this thread... lol You and Beth have a great time!

Craig Nov 15th, 2007 10:21 AM

Andy,

Have a great trip. Hope to hear from you "live" from Asia. Who's going to assess (access) the late report penalties in your absence?

Gpanda Nov 15th, 2007 10:58 AM

Thanks to all who have sent good wishes. We are again looking forward to the trip. A pox on the house of the naysayers.

Craig, in my absence, I am appointing you as the dispenser of penalties. Please use past assessments as a guide to your calculations. I will be online some of the time, but not regularly and the need for prompt accessment requires this appointment. The Fodors Asia "community" is counting on you.


Craig Nov 15th, 2007 11:37 AM

If Pandas wore shoes they'd be awfully big ones to fill...

Guenmai Nov 15th, 2007 12:04 PM

Have fun...and try something new like...staying out of trouble! And don't disgrace the Asia forum Fodor's family name! Happy Travels!

laurieco Nov 15th, 2007 01:35 PM

Andy & Beth, have a great time. Try to stay out of trouble.

How many speedos are you bringing anyway? (and don't forget the pictures--we need fodder for next year's GTG).

Gpanda Nov 15th, 2007 02:43 PM

Two speedos and two "normal" bathing suits. We have to get their expectations up before we unveil the current version of Panda a la Speedo.

Regarding pictures, there's a very good chance Beth will not elect to take yet another Speedo picture.

I'll try to check in from Thailand.

IGNORE BOB!

rhkkmk Nov 15th, 2007 05:13 PM

I AM IN CHARGE!!!

Gpanda Nov 16th, 2007 12:02 AM

Up early, flying Jet Blue to JFK and Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong and then BKK. The ROS has notified us that the preparations have been completed.

Thanks again to almost everyone.

Have great Thanksgiving.

rhkkmk Nov 16th, 2007 10:11 AM

immigration has been notified

simpsonc510 Nov 16th, 2007 10:38 AM

Andy
My one and only 1st cousin in this whole entire world is a flight attendant for JetBlue! I hope you were on your best behavior or I'll hear about it!

Get your speedo-wearing Panda butt over here already. I'm hungry.
