    Knowing When to Walk Away

    Knowing When to Walk Away

    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 [...]

    First timer’s look at Chiang Mai

    First timer's look at Chiang Mai

    A month ago, I had never been to the north of Thailand. Three weeks ago I had never been to Chiang Mai. That changed in June; I have now spent 4 weeks in Northern Thailand and 4 ½ days in the city of Chiang Mai.
    People like me who visit Bangkok for the first time [...]

    Getting Drugged in Nana

    Getting Drugged in Nana

    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 [...]

    Colors, Numbers & Buddha

    What day were you born?
    Ask this question of most Westerners and they will generally tell you the date and month, as in 23rd of September or 12th of July.
    But in Thailand, if someone asks you what day you were born, chances are they want to know the day of the week. When this becomes clear, [...]

    Soi Cowboy: more of what you come to Bangkok for

    I finished the project on Wednesday afternoon, and decided to go out and relax. Walking out of my apartment my plan was to go to Patpong, but by the time I walked out of my building and hit Sukhumvit Road I knew that I didn’t have the energy to schlep my way across town, so [...]

    Trying To Understand Bar Economics

    By Billy Bangkok - June 8th, 2008
    Trying To Understand Bar Economics

    As a business person who loves to ponder the economics of various business models I find that I am either at a total loss for how the economics of bars/go-go’s in Thailand work or there seems to be a huge potential for someone who wishes to shake up the market.  Hopefully, someone who reads this [...]

    A Reluctant Traveller

    A Reluctant Traveller

    Early in 2003 the scuba diving shop I used to dive with was planning a trip to Phuket.  The dive master/instructor leading the trip was one of my best mates at the time and he pressured me relentlessly to sign up for the trip.  The only problem was that I had zero desire to travel [...]

    THE FAREWELL GIFTS

    THE FAREWELL GIFTS

    Most of my life I have been on the receiving end. Although I’m not rolling in money, I’m now OK and because I will never be able to clear the debt I have with countless people that are now dead or far away, I try time to time to be on the giving end. But [...]

    Phuket Paradise Again

    Phuket Paradise Again

    Here I’m again on Phuket Island. 
    Today is November 11. This morning the sky is cloudy, the temperature doesn’t overstep a reasonable 25°C and there is a small breeze that rustles the fan shaped leaves of the nearby coconut palms.
    It is just the beginning of the high season and the mood is far more laid-back than [...]

    HELLO MASSAAAAAGE (version Française)

    By Gates Of Paradox - January 21st, 2008
    HELLO MASSAAAAAGE (version Française)

    “Hello massaaaaage… one hour 300 Baaaaht …” chantent en chœur de ravissantes jeunes Thaïlandaises habillées de sarongs en batik et de chemises en soie dans les rues de Patong sur l’île de Phuket.
    Alors que je m’arrête pour considérer leur aimable proposition, je sens des mains qui se mettent à grouiller partout sur mon corps. L’une [...]
