It truly was a fun and rewarding experience (most of the time) and part of me really hates to let it go. I want again to thank all of you loyal readers. If another blogger on Pattaya should come around, I hope you'll support him/her just as solidly. As for the message board related comments above? A couple follow-up thoughts: 1. -- Oops, I did in fact forget to mention Revealed. It's a more small club than an active board, but other than a couple idiots, it's a mostly fun crowd that shares the attitude of Live toward Secrets, which is no doubt a holdover from it's roots in Pattaya Chat. 2. Secrets? -- I was actually letting them off quite lightly in my post above and a few days and a few reader comments later have lead me to beleive should amend my comment. Same as above, but I did neglect to mention that it's stupidly overmoderated, the people behind it have the thinnest skins in Pattaya and stifle any talk that might possibly jeopardize the PR Bandwagon for the bar/hotel. Mods there have standing orders to delete anything mentioning me or the blog. So, there's my full take on Shhhh. 3. Addicts? I saw some people sign up over the weekend citing my recommendation. So let me clarify. When I said it was the "Best" of the boards, that should be taken as a dubious honor, as the threshold online is pretty low. Perhaps I should have said they're less boring and less populated with stupid posts than Secrets and simply have more posts than the other boards. That's probably amore-accurate description. In any case, my work is done here and this will be the final comment on the site. Enjoy or print what you like now as the breakdown work will commence in a day or two.

It's no easy task to maintain a quality blog while handling a full time job, but you made it successful. I noticed your blog recently on Matt's top 100 list. While I haven't read your previous posts, judging from this one alone I'm sure you have written well. Good luck with your next endeavors, Sunny “Everyone always talks about going out on a high note.

You brought some fresh air that we are not going to get anymore from the rest of the local media, most of them being arse lickers. Congratulations for this achievement. Take some rest. May be see you next year for another batch of articles if you change your mind and resume. I hope so. It was fun. Au revoir. Ghost,

The fact that your blog was controversial at times just made it more entertaining. Like I have said before, "Thanks for the ride!" This has been one of the best blogs I have ever seen, and I will miss it dearly. The alternatives available right now are just not very appealing. Someday, I would like to meet you so I can get to know you better, but it sounds like you may be heading toward another side of life where that won't be likely. You are a decent guy in a town that doesn't have a reputation for having a lot of decent guys. Thanks.

Too many newbie posts like"What is the best way for me to send my girlfriend money?" The best thing about that board is most of the members are young Ibiza eschewing lager louts, and, as a result, there are a lot of good pictures of young, hot Thai girls. Funny how Bryan was able to be the last man standing and assume full ownership of that board after starting out with a partnership consisting of himslef, Braveheart, and Sexy Beast. Pattaya Talk is full of old farts as FLB owner Martin knows those guys are the niche market that keeps the cash register running full tilt at his bar. Pattaya Secrets is full of Larry/Ben worshipping newbies. Pattaya Live is full of bitter outcasts who were banned from Secrets. And Pattaya Revealed is the old Pattaya Chat gang minus ex ring leader gone insaneTabmule. Thaigers consists of ex Pattayabargirls members. The rest of the boards don't have enough traffic to be signifcant. Ghost, you definitely filled a void with this blog and your nose for breaking news.
