Bangkok

I didn't have high expectations for Bangkok which is probably just as well. The heat is ridiculous and keeps you in a constant state of sticky discomfort while the city itself seems to have very little to get excited about. Until night falls... After dark Bangkok gives birth to seedy clusters of...

Adrink and a smoke with a Chinese lady

Kho Samui, Hat Lamai, 05-02-2009. I'm watching the girly bars opposite the road from the 7/Eleven while working slowly but with determination on a small can of Leo beer, my favorite brew in this part of the world, how the Hot Mommas do their best to lure a hamburger fat 300 pounder,...

Beasties in Bangkok

Our last full day in Bangkok meant shopping again, but this time for Joanne's camera and a laptop for me. We hoped to get a mini-laptop (or webbook, I think they are also called), which we had seen lots of people with, so that some of my blogging time could be in nicer locations than...

A visit by a benign Spirit

Around Kho Smaui, 03-02-2009. The amount of farang people on Kho Samui with medical bandages wrapped around elbows and knee caps is staggering. Victims of traffic accidents on Kho Samui`s curvy roads caused by a combination of factors...People going home on a rented scooter after a heavy...

A window of clarity

Kho Samui, Hat Lamai, 02-02-2009. I find myself back in a local Song-Thaew from Na Thon to Hat Lamai where I wanna spend a few days of relaxation. Some days on the beach to work on my suntan and spend the evening visiting the many open-air bars that dot Hat Lamai like fleas on the fur of...

Female Asian Witchcraft

Kho Samui, Na Thon, 01-02-2009, early evening. Showered and in fresh clothes I walk down the stairs of the Nathon Residence, my eyes scanning the lobby for possible Lady Recepcionist related "problems". The old Chines man in his grizzly white underwear still reading his Chinese newspaper...

The pretty bits of Bangkok

The next day we were determined to knuckle down, so we got up early (as if we had a choice) to find new lodgings, and located a cheaper place back from Khaosan (really this time). We headed out again to see the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and the Reclining Buddha, and Wat Phra Kaew and the Emerald...
