I was blessed with my dad’s sense of humour - “you’d laugh if your bum was on fire” - my mum would snarl at him, in times of anger and frustration.
Perhaps because of this I have found travelling in Asia a wonderful source of hilarity. However at times, it has been a double edged sword. [...]

FARANGS: Have you ever seen such a disreputable collection of beer-bellied, slack-arsed, sartorially challenged, binge-drinking, obnoxious losers? Farang men are even worse.
