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,...

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...

A Ting-Tong victim

on the ferry from Kho Tao to Kho Samui, Na Thon. 01-02-2009. Primitive sorcery, superstitious beliefs and a fascination with the animal spirituality are rife in the head of any Thai, be it male or female. Even the ferry from Kho Tao to Kho Samui has a small spirit house with burning insence...

Thailand

Exciting News from a World Away
