Nong`s life.

Bangkok, 25-01-2009. The Somtam with sticky rice I had during my dinner with Nong is slowly and pleasurably being digested ny my belly`s digestive juices which I`m rewarding with Black Cat Whiskey mixed with cubes of ice and a generous shot of Red Bull energy drink - not a combination to try...

Week Three

Came back and thought about an easy night of reading and doing a little R & R. Ya right! We went down to a jazz club where there was an acoustic band playing covers of Clapton, Eagles, Cat Stevens. They were great. Then we went inside to where there was another live band playing Hendrix,...

On the way to a dinner date with Nong

Bangkok, 24-01-2009, Nighttime. All Bangkok taxi drivers are superstitious to the max, often orinating from Thailand`s poor north, wearing several Buddha pendants around their necks, go to the wat every morning to make an offering of rice, garlands and moonshine whiskey, cuban sigars and...

Twenty-one today! (and the next day)

Checking out of the hotel in Luang Namtha, the guy on the desk was very slow, in fact he had to get out of bed to serve us. Then our breakfast was slow arriving, which meant that we missed the Sawngthaew that had been filling up with people when we first went out. We had been planning to travel...

Walking with my daughter in Bangkok

Bangkok, 24-01-2009. How make Karma work, by paying free Tiger Beer to Hot Mommas on Pattaya`s boulevard, give them the key to your room so they can have a much needed shower, a quick nap on the bed, let them have the worthless bunch of second hand T-shirts that I put in my backpack just for...

Elephant Island

(by Katie) We're back in Bangkok again, after an amazing week on an island paradise spent fine-tuning our travel plans and unwinding from the craziness that is huge Asian cities. Ko Chang is a relatively large island off the south coast of Thailand, and its name means (as you may have...

The Dutch Farang Bench in Pattaya

Pattaya, 22-01-2009. There is that Western side of my stupid farang mind always looking for rational explications to an unsolvable dilemma, always wanting to knop that which it shouldn`t question, 24/7 in conflict with itself and trying hard to get rich, stay in the picture fast and...

A little act of jai-Dee

[[Myanmar-(Burma)/Pattaya]], 21-01-2009. I`m here in [[Myanmar-(Burma)/Pattaya]] because in my life staedy relationships do not work, I`m here because I`m reaching my middle age years, I`m here because I do not have to live on low substitute levels like the young members of the Isaan clan of...

She is my poor Tilak

Pattaya, 20-01-2009. With the Thai sun setting over the ocean my mind goes on an endless narrative trying to understand the hidden structures of the oriental mind, trying to make sence of my own involvement, the very influence this strange Asian society has got on my farang way of...
