Well, that quiz lasted all of 90 minutes. Well played

New quiz out next Thursday…

OK, well that settles it . I had 4/5, I thought there were more beauties in Phuket (no offense to Chiang Rai girls).

Maybe there should be something like a 48-hour period before announcing a winner (if any)?

Sorry about that - we lived in Chiang Mai for a few years so I guess I had an advantage.  48hrs - I agree.

Also - In all honesty, the 'local' girls in Phuket and generally most of the locals down south (not counting those that work there), are far less beautiful than the girls from the North and Isan.  But the girls from down south are still absolute beauties when compared to most Aussie girls - especially those from the rural areas.

No Googling - I dont 'cheat' mate.  I do know some stuff and can figure out others.  But if you remember the Chao P***** river questions, I did not answer - I had absolutely no idea.

Good for you to clear the air bud. I'm pretty much the same. I don't like cheating in sport. Or quizzes.

In the quiz; question 4 is hard to answer. Nok is quite a popular name, and my research suggests it is 69 in one place to 68 in t'other. Close; I'm sure you will agree. But where is the Nok referred to in the question? 

On the edge of yer seat there Bob I reckon. But no amount of money will make me divulge the answers until 20-00 on Sunday. And as a bonus I'll reveal my research findings.

Not quite correct BH. But thanks for trying.

ps --- i have to get the answers in before the official start of Songkram, cause of lot of Noks will be returning to their original nests. Which would then make the answers less than integral. Can't have that now; can we?!

1. Phuket
2. Phuket
3. 2: never seen a bargirl play chess, so I figure those who do are probably hiding in a cave somewhere.
4. There's a Nok in every town…
5. 1
6. Phuket because they have plenty of natural supply of it?

"The winner could have a game of chess with Noi."
Looking forward to it:

5. 1
6. On themselves?

Rightee ho then. The quiz answers as promised.

I  enlisted the help of four former bar girls. Lek, Porn, Poo and Pook. All now retired, and living in the village. They have all the connections, and pulled out the stops, to get accurate data.

Q1 - It's Phuket. 4743 bar girls in Phuket. 3247 bar girls in the chilly north. This was the average during 2024.

Q2 - Phuket again. The obsession of lady boys shaving their legs at the bars, is world famous. Easy one that.

Q3 - A cave in Chiang Mai. 7 bar girls learnt to play chess in caves in 2024.

Q4 - The Nok in question, was a top bar girl in Chiang Mai. At the Braless Roadside Bar no less.

 Q5 - Chiang Mai again. 

Q6 - Phuket. Lek says the bar girls chucked 239,413 litres of water last year. Porn says in Chiang Mai, it was 239,400. So quite close. But south takes it.

To summarise:

Phuket, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Phuket.

Unfortunately; no one got all 6 correct. So no evening in the Udon Chess Club, (above the Chinky), with Noi.

Thanks for playing.

Now that was a hellava quiz… I got the cave question right
