10 things I hate about Bangkok (Part 6) by On Nutter

by On Nutter February 7, 2011 General

THE GEOGRAPHICALLY CHALLENGED: Have you ever met a Thai geography teacher? I thought not. Most Thais would struggle to locate their own country on a map. As for the world beyond the kingdom’s boundaries, that is a closed book. “Is England close to Australia?” I was once asked by a girlfriend. “Er, no. They are [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand – Epilogue

by Inspector Cowboy December 9, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

Epilogue After leaving Nok I felt pretty bad. I quite simply did not want to leave Thailand. I buried myself in the anonymity of Don Mueang airport and had a few beers to make me feel better. Thankfully the departure time for the flight came quickly and I was soon on my way to Istanbul. [...]

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 [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand – Part VII

by Inspector Cowboy November 16, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

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 V

by Inspector Cowboy November 6, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

The next morning arrived like a volcanic eruption. I awoke just before midday to one of those only too familiar moments of confusion. What happened last night? Who is this in bed with me? Oh dear, there appears to be two people in this bed with me. Tuk and Meow showered as I lay on [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand Part IV by Inspector Cowboy

by Inspector Cowboy October 29, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

I love the smells and sounds of Thailand. There is an ever present aroma of cooking, ginger, chilli, garlic and other exotic herbs and spices along with grilling meat and fish and the sounds made by the constant drumming of the som tam pot. I find it mesmerising and fascinating in equal measure. Soi Cowboy [...]
