My Thai wife and I spend more and more time outside of Thailand and though she’s acclimated pretty well to the changes, the one thing that she always misses (besides really, really, really spicy Thai food and her family) is television shows from Thailand. Her English is good enough to watch farang television but what …
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 …

Recently in a thread called “Am I Invisible” a commenter named Jack made the following addition to the thread: I am a young, decent looking guy, with an narcisistic personality bordering on jerk and I get more action in the West. I can get a woman every night of the week if I want (I …
[Names have been changed to protect the innocent, not so innocent, and some guy named Hector] Many people (like me) like to pontificate about how girls get into the go-go and bar industry.
