Thumbnail image for Thai Spec vs. Farang Spec

I heard these terms from a Thai person several years ago and thought they were somewhat humorous. If you don’t know what they are they are basically a way to describe what Thai guys are into versus what Farang guys are into in terms of women. According to this Thai theory, Thai guys are into [...]

Good Thai Girls and Bad Thai Girls – Is There More to the Story?

by Anonymous September 29, 2009 Popular

One frustrating thing about talking about Thai girls is that it’s so easy to make these huge generalizations due to the fact that us farangs aren’t really very well tuned into how Thai society and culture work. Some people try to delineate at the highest level putting Thai girls into Good and Bad camps. Good [...]

Hot or Not? What Thai Girls Look for in a Foreign Guy

by Danny.Nomad August 11, 2009 Bangkok Nightlife

Given the huge cultural differences between Thailand and the West, its not surprising that what’s hot in one culture may not be all that in the other.  In the two years I’ve lived in Thailand, I’ve seen guys that would be considered pretty average back home end up with super hot Thai girls.  On the [...]

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 [...]

With so many emotions running high I thought it would be a good idea not to pass judgment on the case of Australian, Annice Smoel, who was accused of attempting to steal a bar mat from a bar in Phuket. While I tried not to pass judgment, there was an immediate reaction to the whole [...]

An Interesting Way to Make a Living in Thailand

by Anonymous April 16, 2009 Expat Life

I ran across an article titled “Thai Poker” in Poker Player Magazine.  The author, Michael Kaplan, profiles what he called “the thriving Thailand poker scene.”  Most expats living in Thailand don’t talk about the poker scene because, well, gambling is illegal in Thailand.  But based on the number of people who have told me in [...]

Finding a Thai Girl

by Anonymous March 18, 2009 Expat Life

There she sat across from me looking absolutely stunning.  Of course, that’s not a big surprise as she was in her late twenties and Thai.  Most men would give their left arm to be sitting across from her.

Guest Friendly Hotels in Bangkok

by Anonymous March 16, 2009 Accommodation

I’ve tried to put together a semi-complete list of guest-friendly hotels in Bangkok (mostly in the Sukhumvit area) based on reviews on message boards, blogs, and other websites.  As with everything hotels go from guest-friendly to non guest-friendly at the whim of management so some of these hotels may no longer be guest-friendly.

Thais Not Forced Into Prostitution

by Ruai February 11, 2009 Bangkok Nightlife

I ran across this story about Thais who enter into prostitution to fund an affluent lifestyle and it hit home with me because I have often been frustrated with people who know nothing about Thailand claiming that women are “forced” into the profession.  As the article points out many of these girls are university students [...]
