    Relationships

    Love can be a wonderful thing. It can also be a very frustrating thing when your teerak speaks a different language, has a different culture, and practices a different religion. Join along and read about the ups and downs of different relationships in Thailand.

    Tongue Tied Farangs

    By Billy Bangkok - July 2nd, 2008
    Tongue Tied Farangs

    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 [...]

    Paradise and Hell

    Paradise and Hell

    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 [...]

    Bar Girl Bank Account

    Bar Girl Bank Account

    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 [...]

    Sai

    Sai

    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 [...]

    Mia Gik Conundrum

    Mia Gik Conundrum

    I wrote a submission a couple months ago entitled “The Mia Noi Conundrum”. If you read that you’ll perhaps remember what a sad, dumb sod I can be sometimes. I naively became infatuated with a traditional massage girl on my first trip to Thailand. I just knew she was different and all that pitiful crap [...]

    Singing with Kipling

    Singing with Kipling

    It was the choir’s conductor announcing the next number that bought me from my reverie. The last thing I remembered was Ken, our baritone soloist pounding out “On the road to Mandalay” in his own inimitable style. One of the lines of the song evoked a memory that triggered my day dream but what it [...]

    A Visit to the Mor Doo Fortune Teller – Part 3

    A Visit to the Mor Doo Fortune Teller – Part 3

    Part-3
    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 [...]

    A Visit to the Mor Doo Fortune Teller - Part 2

    Part-2
    It does seem that superstitions and Thailand go together like peaches and cream or may be that should be curry and rice. The way they seemingly embroil and twine together weaving their way across the country like a fine piece of tapestry. As a westerner one could be forgiven for describing such [...]

    A Visit to the Mor Doo Fortune teller - Part 1

    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 and Englebert

    Duong and Englebert

    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 [...]
