A Brush With Herpes

by Anonymous August 11, 2009 Hazards

I will warn you ahead of time that I am going to be fairly graphic in this post so those of you with weak stomachs may want to browse away. I consider myself to be a lucky guy. I’ve never had a broken bone. I’ve never had any major medical problems. And while I’m no [...]

This Is Why You Don’t Start Fights With Thais

by Admin June 17, 2009 Hazards

If you haven’t heard the advice already allow me to tell you now that starting a physical altercation with a Thai is suicide. Thais very seldom one on one and they are known to be very patient in plotting their revenge even if you get the upper-hand the first go. In this video we see [...]

Where is the AIDS/HIV in Thailand?

by Anonymous June 16, 2009 Bangkok Nightlife

I want to start off this post with a very strong disclaimer: The goal of this post is not to minimize the risks of unprotected sex in any way. The goal is to look at facts and attempt to determine what is true and what is a myth in regards to AIDS/HIV in Thailand. Wear [...]

12 Ways To Seriously Injure Yourself On A Bangkok Sidewalk

by Admin April 21, 2009 Hazards

travelhappy has an absolutely fantastic post on their site titled “12 Ways To Seriously Injure Yourself On A Bangkok Sidewalk” One of the things that has always frustrated me about Bangkok is that if they really wanted to upscale their image for all of the wealthy tourists they always claim that they’re targeting one of [...]

Thai People and Common Sense

by DougBangkok January 17, 2009 Hazards

Having lived in Thailand for a number of years, I am convinced that Thai people lack the common sense gene. I love them, I love living here, but every farang here has seen many examples of seemingly stupid behaviour, ranging from sidewalks that are broken and barely usable to the recent tragedy at the Santika [...]

Fake Monk Alert

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 [...]

Nigerian Scam Alert

by Billy Bangkok December 17, 2008 Hazards

I’ve had two very similar experiences happen to me in the last two weeks that I thought I would share so others can avoid getting scammed. First time I was walking up Suk Soi 11 and I saw two Nigerian guys walking up the street on the opposite side.  One began to cross the street [...]

Why Do Farangs Fall For Scams?

by Billy Bangkok November 25, 2008 Expat Life

This week Stickman has yet another tale of woe from the Land of Smiles. I’m always surprised to what lengths guys will go to in order to stay buried in a fantasy world which simply doesn’t exist.  Things that they would never do back home suddenly appear completely sane in Thailand.  Often it is because [...]

Watch Out At Baccara

by Anonymous November 19, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

Just a quick warning to anyone going to Baccara:  The other night I stopped into Baccara with a girl I had met in one of the other Soi Cowboy go-gos.  She had never been to any of the other bars on Cowboy so we did a little tour.  I thought she would get a kick [...]
