My Love Affair With Thailand Part V

by Inspector Cowboy November 6, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

The next morning arrived like a volcanic eruption. I awoke just before midday to one of those only too familiar moments of confusion. What happened last night? Who is this in bed with me? Oh dear, there appears to be two people in this bed with me. Tuk and Meow showered as I lay on [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand Part IV by Inspector Cowboy

by Inspector Cowboy October 29, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

I love the smells and sounds of Thailand. There is an ever present aroma of cooking, ginger, chilli, garlic and other exotic herbs and spices along with grilling meat and fish and the sounds made by the constant drumming of the som tam pot. I find it mesmerising and fascinating in equal measure. Soi Cowboy [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand Part III by Inspector Cowboy

by Admin October 23, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

Nok left in the morning after listening to me snore for 8 hours. I decided to have a lie in and go for a late lunch. I had noticed a very attractive lady working at the tourism and excursion desk in the hotel lobby. She always smiled when I passed and as I had now [...]

My Love Affair With Thailand Part II by Inspector Cowboy

by Anonymous October 23, 2010 Bangkok Nightlife

The things regular travellers to Thailand take for granted were all new to me. One thing that struck me was the ever present “condom” provided with my Heineken. Not having encountered one before I was unsure whether to keep my bottle within the receptacle, take it out when drinking from the bottle or leave the [...]

My love affair with Thailand started a decade ago, I had recently finished university as a mature student and was trying to put off for as long as possible the inevitable return to work.

Trapped by cobras

by Fiedee October 7, 2010 General

Have you ever been bitten by a cobra? One tried to bite me a few minutes ago and has been trying repeatedly ever since. It keeps hitting its head against the window. It doesn’t seem to know there’s a glass window between me and it. I can see its fangs. Its mouth is open wide. [...]

Why I will never date a Thai guy ever again

by Space Monkey September 28, 2010 General

Before I begin.. This is based on my experiences and those of some of my friends. This is by no means the definitive guide to Thai men and I am not so ignorant that I don’t recognise that there are good and bad men and women in all cultures. I know, as I’ve dated my fair share [...]

Stumblin’ Bumblin’ and Fumblin’

by Sarayuth Chotechompupong September 23, 2010 Thai Politics

If you don’t live in the Kingdom, you might get the impression that since the red-shirt protests reached their violent conclusion four months ago things have settled down to stability and normalcy.

Som Nam Na (AKA Conversations with my conscience)

by Mega September 12, 2010 General

Life should be lived in harmony and with balance (otherwise the Dragon’s gonna bite your ass)   The Thai’s say it quite often with a smile and a shake of the head. It may sound as though it’s said in jest – and quite often it is – but the smile is just their polite [...]
