I’d like to take the time to compare Bangkok and the entertainment scene today to the reality of what it was like in 1995 when I first came here. I stress “reality” because I am constantly hearing whining voices saying “it was soooo much better in the good old days” and such nonsense as this. […]

Man do I love Thailand!! This one is for you, WoWasis. I was getting a massage the other day at a rather out of the way place near Bangkapi (northeast Bangkok) and it was becoming obvious to me that they were not accustomed to having western customers. I must admit I was more than a […]

Just returned from an 18 day trip to America and what a shock to my system! Thailand and America are on opposite sides of the planet and I don’t think they could be any more different. How strange to experience culture shock when returning to one’s own home country. I am so spoiled living in […]

A very common topic of conversation among local guys is the strange phenomenon of men who don’t live in Thailand full time but send money every month to an entertainment provider. We refer to these guys as “sponsors” or “providers” but generally the girls just call them “farangs.” Well, there are some less flattering terms […]
