You’re Such a THAI!

by virgilalligator August 28, 2011 Expat Life

Yep, I said it! I am officially now Thai. Wait a minute, what the heck you ask? Allow me to explain. For starters, I am not a FARANG to the natives here, well, not so much in words anyway. And if you are wondering what that word means…well, everyone seems to have their own ideas. [...]

A Long Return To Thailand – Part 3

by Inspector Cowboy November 27, 2010 Expat Life

I awoke at nearly midnight with Jeab in my arms. I felt totally worn out which I guess was a result of the excitement of the past few days, jet-lag and making love with Jeab. I lay there for a few moments my nostrils filled with the scent of Jeab’s hair, listening to the distant [...]

A Long Return To Thailand – Part 2

by Inspector Cowboy November 27, 2010 Expat Life

The flight from Heathrow with Qantas had been uneventful. I had sat next to an Aussie backpacker who had spent most of the 11 hour flight telling me about a pop festival he had been to regardless of the fact I was pretending to be asleep. Steve had been good to his word and I [...]

Nok was awake before me the following morning, she was putting my things in my suitcase more neatly than I could ever manage.

My Love Affair with Thailand – Part VI

by Inspector Cowboy November 13, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

I prised Geoff away from his new friend by showing him the pork kebabs I had cooked and told him I had spoken with Nok while he was interviewing the devil. He seemed quite pleased but obviously had his mind on other things. We caught a taxi through the traffic on Sukhumvit Road up to [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand Part III by Inspector Cowboy

by Admin October 23, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

Nok left in the morning after listening to me snore for 8 hours. I decided to have a lie in and go for a late lunch. I had noticed a very attractive lady working at the tourism and excursion desk in the hotel lobby. She always smiled when I passed and as I had now [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand Part II by Inspector Cowboy

by Anonymous October 23, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

The things regular travellers to Thailand take for granted were all new to me. One thing that struck me was the ever present “condom” provided with my Heineken. Not having encountered one before I was unsure whether to keep my bottle within the receptacle, take it out when drinking from the bottle or leave the [...]

Dogs

by Fiedee July 18, 2010 Expat Life

Dogs Love ‘em; hate ‘em. They bark loudly; they foul the path; they bite; they can give you rabbies. They can also be faithful friends; protect you and give you companionship and lot of pleasure; as well as healthy psychological benefits. Who cares? There seems to be millions of them in Thailand, and Bangkok is [...]
