How to Meet Normal Thai Girls

by Billy Bangkok July 21, 2008 Popular

After doing the normal tourist thing in Thailand I did as many men do and I began to pine for meeting a nice, normal Thai girl.  But how was a tourist, who only visits Thailand a few times a year, supposed to find such an elusive girl? I tried meeting girls online and then going [...]

The Cool Season

by Richard July 14, 2008 Bangkok Nightlife

It’s the cool season in Bangkok. I know that because bargirls are shivering outside the bars as well as in. It’s about twenty four degrees centigrade and they’ve got goose bumps. My first night back in Bangkok and I’m welcomed with open legs as always at my favourite little bar on Soi Cowboy. Five girls [...]

Tongue Tied Farangs

by Billy Bangkok July 2, 2008 Expat Life

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 applies to men [...]

Sai

by Richard June 22, 2008 Relationships

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 [...]

Online Dating in Thailand

by The Farang May 19, 2008 Relationships

I was reading Stickman’s recent post about online dating sites and I thought I would offer my own commentary as I thought he hit the nail on the head on a few topics. Talking with foreign guys using the site, their modus operandi is eerily similar.  They get online and bombard the girls online with [...]

Mia Gik Conundrum

by Patsy November 24, 2007 Popular

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

by Phet October 30, 2007 Relationships

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 [...]

Duong and Englebert

by Richard October 12, 2007 Relationships

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 [...]

Dating in Bangkok 102

by irisgodd3ss September 14, 2007 People

A couple of months ago, I wrote about a guy I was dating who kept a number of pastel-colored toothbrushes in a rather discreet shelf above his bathroom mirror, obviously for his many paramours. I never did get my own toothbrush. I got out of there faster than you can say “toxic bachelor”. He has [...]

Sell the house, Sell the wife, Sell the kids, I’m never coming back

by A Bloody Yank August 31, 2007 Relationships

I’m just starting to feel the warmth, you know, its the feeling you get about 15 minutes after the first drink. It’s the best part of alcohol, and it makes me feel like I can tell this story. The thing is, alot of what I’ve done I’m more than a little embarrased about. I used [...]
