Knowing When to Walk Away

by Anonymous June 30, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

Another night in Bangkok and I find myself strolling Nana looking for entertain me for the evening. I happen into Rainbow 4 and settle in to watch the action. Beside me sits an African-American guy who looks about as thuggish as they come. His eyes are as wide as saucers so it’s obvious that he’s [...]

Getting Drugged in Nana

by Anonymous June 29, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

I was cruising Nana alone one evening stopping off here and there, having a drink, and then moving on unless I saw something of particular interest. It was nearing closing time for most bars so I sat down in one of the go-gos and ended up agreeing to bar fine a gal. She was quite [...]

Welcome to Hell

by The Farang June 14, 2008 Hazards

Several trips ago I picked up the paperback book Welcome to Hell by Colin Martin and read it on the flight back to Farangland.  I gave it to a friend when I was finished and he recently he returned it to me.  I remember it being an entertaining (and frightening) read at the time but [...]

by The Farang June 11, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

This was originally a series of posts but they have been collapsed into one post here. Hat tip to the Pattaya Rag for this one.

I notice that during this 2005 six-month deployment [...]

Freak Air Hostesses

by The Farang March 9, 2008 Hazards

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts I do not have the great pleasure of living in the LOS.  That means if I want to date “normal” Thai women I’m at a pretty severe disadvantage given their tendency to be shy for the first 1000 dates.  So that ushers me toward the only viable option; internet [...]

Plundering Farang Pockets

by Andrew Hicks December 8, 2007 Hazards

One of the good things about living as a foreigner in Thailand is that you’re very rarely overcharged. Tourists may be more vulnerable than me, but I find that in the markets or even in a touristy place, the locals usually give me the proper price. They don’t seem to mark up the price for [...]

Making A Drama Out Of A Crisis

by Union Hill August 28, 2007 Hazards

Years ago, British insurance company Legal & General aired an advertising campaign on UK TV with the slogan “We won’t make a drama out of a crisis”. The point being, if your house was flooded or your car was wrecked, a nice man from L&G would turn up and settle your insurance claim quickly and [...]

Snay ‘n How

by Central Scrutinizer August 27, 2007 Hazards

I’d been back from Thailand visiting the states for three weeks. I hated it. I missed the village life and sunshine. I missed fishing every afternoon/evening. I wouldn’t be returning to Thailand for another four or five weeks. I guess I can’t whine too much really. At least I would get to leave and go [...]
