I’m not one of those folks who gets off bashing everything they don’t understand about Thailand and the Thai people but I had two questions I’ve yet to receive a satisfactory response to. They’re not meant to be insulting. I just really would love if someone could explain this to me. Headaches Thailand has to …
This story was related to me recently by a waitress who normally works in Bangkok, but goes back to her village periodically to see her children and work on her farm. “I buy baby chicken in market five baht. She go, ‘cheep cheep cheep’ allatime. She follow me roun’. She think I am her mudder. …
Another two beers.Another barely concealed look of contempt from a waiter wanting a Twenty Baht tip as he slouched away empty handed. It was midnight at The Bamboo Bar-Pattaya. The place was packed. As the band launched into Hands Up, the old disco favourite, Farangs at the elasticated waistband stage in life flocked to the …

Wow, just ran across this update the other day. Seems that Phil the weepy-eyed Brit who caught his Thai wife in a lie isn’t exactly a prince either. Seems good old Phil beat the crap out of the Thai gal and when police investigated they took his DNA which turned up an arrest warrant in …

Some people try to delineate at the highest level putting Thai girls into Good and Bad camps. Good …

The cover story in The Bangkok Post’s “Brunch” Magazine has to be the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever read in print. The author is a Asian woman who was adopted by Danes and grew up in Denmark before coming to Thailand. She writes a sexist and poorly researched article that is basically all one needs …
