Pothole fashion icon Pattaya
Pothole fashion icon Pattaya, Pothole Bin Ladin, aka John David Martin is the leading fashion icon in Pattaya, & perhaps the whole of south east Asia. His “kavorka” which is Latvian meaning “the lure of the animal,” is like a magnet for the Pattaya LadyBoys who constantly chase after him on his daily strolls when he is looking for company down Soi 6/1. Here are more shots of high fashion in Pattaya. There is no doubt he became a much happier person after he abandoned all hope.
He favours bright orange outfits
When he walks down Beach Rd Aussie expats often greet him as “The Jaffa”.
Pothole’s Brazilian outfit
Is it any wonder the girls all scream “HANDSOME MAN” when he walks by?
Surf & Turf
Dining with a bunch of Aussies. I must point out the two guys on the left are well know for being total tightwads, in fact years ago I named the one in the black shirt “Stingy”. 🙂
I must say Pothole is definately not a tightwad.
In fact this shot would have cost him plenty in Soi 6.
Flashback to 50th birthday
It was 2001 & I had a couple of days in Sydney before flying to Brazil. That’s our old friend paul Slaughter & Kathy who was Pothole’s girlfriend at the time.
Talking about Brazil…
Here is Pothole trying to make a good impression with the mother, on the beach at Salvador on the north east coast of Brazil in December 1999.
Dinner at Toscana in Beach Rd Pattaya, June 20 2020.
These are Pothole’s two sons, Tyrone & Tiger. For some weird reason the names of all his all offspring must begin with the letter T.
Talking about wierd…
Here he is, the Dancing Queen. 🙂
Pothole the chameleon
He makes a point to blend in with his surroundings. 🙂
Flashback to 2008

Could this trophy be for winning the best dressed man in Pattaya prize?

A fun day with family & friends & ex missus Dah.
Way back when love was in full bloom
Nothing lasts forever. 🙂
Sometimes he drinks to forget…
Most of the time he just drinks. 🙂
