Thaksin Come Home

“Lassie come home.”

Boy, I cried hearing that call from the silver screen.
Thaksin Shinawatra probably felt the same upon reading that Thailand DSI or Dept of Special Investigation has demanded the former PM appear in court to face corruption charges along with his wife. The head of the department declared, “If they are abroad, they will […]

Vatican’s 10 Commandments for the Road

I was brought up a Catholic. The nuns taught that the Pope was infallible ie incapable of mistakes. My friends and I used to conjecture that God’s rep on earth didn’t fart, need an eraser, or pick his nose. The priests heard about this talk and condemned us as heretics.  
“God speaks through the Pope.” The pastor’s words rang […]

Spelling 101

Occasionally the question arises. “If you could go back and change something in your life, where would you go?”

Stupid question, but if I were granted that click on the heels, I would return instantly to 5th Grade to slap that kid staring out the window during English lessons and tell him pay attention, because you’re going to […]

Go to Jail - Chonburi

Every weekend the police set up a roadblock to catch motorcycle thiEves and incarcerate drug suspects. The cops never stop car drivers, so the usual round-up consists of young people out for fun. Anyone whose piss turns ‘purple’ gets a trip down to Soi 9 for processing.

And this is not Paris Hilton jail.
Soi 9 has no chairs, fans, […]

Moscow - #1 Expensive City World

For second year running Moscow has been given the dubious honor of being the world’s most expensive city. The Mercer Report came to this conclusion by surveying the cost of 200 items such as housing, clothing and food in 143 cities on six continents.

A Pattaya 2-bedroom condo with a sea view can run about 50,000 […]

Buddha Cookies

Phra Payom Kalayano, the well-known abbot of Wat Suan Kaew, is selling edible ‘’Jatukham’’ (four-bite) cookies to ridicule the public craze for Jatukarm Ramathep talismans. The senior monk yesterday introduced his new Jatukham cookies of the ‘’Chukkhid 4 Kham Ruay Khot’’ (Bear in mind four bites and you will become super rich) model at his […]

Coyotee A Go-Go Bar - Pattaya


Thaksin Call Home

In the movie ET the alien constructs a improvised communication system and tells the young LA boy, “ET call home.”

Last night Thaksin Shinawatra called Thailand collect and spoke to a Bangkok demonstration about his ongoing struggle against the military junta seizing his fortune. “Let me live peacefully, like someone with dignity.”
On the missing 20 billion baht Mr. […]

Spread of CCTV

“Smile, you’re on camera.”
The plague of CCTV cameras is spreading across Pattaya. My local, Janet’s Bar, on Soi Excite has installed a CCTV over the bar. Any activities within the bar is recorded and saved for 24 hours, to help solve crimes. Last night Nick and I paid Nookie, the bartender, to air our drinking […]
