I was sitting with several Thai women this afternoon. They extolled my eating spicy food. I mentioned that most Thai men don’t eat food dosed with chili. The two nearby Thai men argued, “Kin pet dai.”
“So you eat sum tam?” I asked about the fiery mango salad.
“Can eat.”
“Thai men can eat spicy food. Only gay […]
Anyone thinking that Valentine’s Day in Thailand was a purely commercial holiday for selling roses without a bouquet and red lingerie for your mia noi, the Culture Ministry’s declaration of 10 Commandments of Love must have come as a surprise, especially since you can’t find a complete list of the 10 dos or don’ts.

“How many angels can dance on the point of a pin?” My 6th Grade teacher asked our class.
This question was a stumper since no data existed on the celestials’ weight, size, or how they danced.

His impact in the parking lot did not add to the general malaise as he missed several […]
REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL 1-2-3.
I loved that song by Ian Dury.

Short story from Peter Nolan Smith
West 47th Street was open seven days a week from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve. Sales people, guards, elevator operators, schleppers, cutters, setters, polishers, and even Lennie the Bum slaved throughout the holiday rush in hopes of scoring enough cash to pay their debts. Stores extended their normal hours to entice […]
Most surveys are conducted with scores, if not hundreds of people. Personally I go for the one person who is most representative of the subject group and when I was thinking about the five qualities a Thai bar girl required from her farang boyfriend, I immediately went to Gai, the Buffalo Bar’s version of Anna Nichols […]
