Ugly Farangs

by Billy Bangkok December 24, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

Last night after some rounds at the usual Cowboy go-gos I hit the impromptu sidewalk bars before heading home.  I’ve spent many a night drinking at these joints until people started showing up for work.  Let’s just say that it’s a nice place for me to unwind and have a few drinks.  The people know [...]

Paedophiles Love Thais

by Admin December 23, 2008 General

Whenever I read the English press in Thailand there always seems to be a phrase or quote that just makes you scratch your head.  In this story about a paedophile ring down in Pattaya they quote Pol Col Suwitpol as saying the following: ”Most of the foreigners who bought children from the service have been [...]

by Admin December 22, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

I know this has been covered on many other websites before but I thought I would post something here as I saw one of these fake monks the other night and it got me to thinking why more people aren’t aware that these monks are not real monks.  In fact, most aren’t even Thai nor [...]

by Billy Bangkok December 17, 2008 General

Can Thailand Turn Lemons Into Lemonaide?

by Admin December 6, 2008 Thai Politics

I certainly don’t wish anyone hard times or any sort of financial despair but let’s face it, what I write isn’t really going to make a difference whether or not it actually happens.  All I can do is speculate on what happens if government predictions hold true and tourist numbers are cut in half in [...]

Diva on Soi 11 – Review

by Billy Bangkok December 5, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

I had never really had an interest in going to Diva before even though I pass right by it almost every night I go out but some friends were heading there the other night and why not? Diva is all the way up Sukhumvit Soi 11 just past Bed Supper Club.  Just go all the [...]

St. Moritz G-Club – Review

by Billy Bangkok December 3, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

After reading an encyclopedia worth of knowledge from the likes of BigBabbyKenny (BBK) and WereWolf (WW) I decided to pop my G-Club cherry. If you’re not sure what a G-Club is I can give a little background.  A G-Club is like a go-go bar while at the same time being anything but a go-go bar.  [...]
