I was reading Werewolf’s post about being tongue-tied and I thought it fit in somewhat nicely with my other post about the deck being stacked against men in the West. Namely it’s the topic of Western women vs. Thai women.
Deep down I think all women are the same. The same concept [...]

I once heard a description of Heaven and Hell. In the description, Heaven was described as being like a big banquet with all the best food and drink available, where you could sit and enjoy eating and drinking to your heart’s content. Hell was described as being the same as heaven, except that you were [...]

Back in farangland, if I gave a girl a gold necklace, I would spend a lot of time choosing a design appropriate for her — delicate or heavy, intricate links or attractive pendant. When I gave it to her the girl would ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ and say thank you with kisses & hugs, and usually [...]

It was one of those evenings where the elements had conspired to produce the kind of sunset that is only ever seen in the pages of National Geographic magazine. A photograph you see, while idly flicking through its glossy pages, that makes you stop and open the page right out and think wow, I wish [...]

Here’s something to think about: How come you never see a headline like ‘Psychic wins the lottery’? I’m convinced this could well be a great form of entertainment, but surely it can be harmful when people are unable to sort out what is real and what isn’t. For example sat there just watching the [...]

Okay I’m going to try something a little different here. Or rather my wife is. That is, with your permission…

Some time ago I was talked into paying the local ‘Fortune teller’ a visit. The first part of this trilogy of submissions has been written by my tee ruk (darling), Part two and three by myself. She felt after reading my somewhat sarcastic rendition of events she should be given the chance to explain in her finest English her reasons behind her beliefs in such matters.

Duong says that i have the legs of a ninety year old.I’m forty six. “Why everything hurt”? she asks as her vice like hands force my skinny white, non supple limbs, into positions that they were never meant to be put into. “I think you take lady too much” she accuses. I whimper and groan [...]
