I find it unbearably sad that the fate of the country I love lies in the hands of such a small group of inept, corrupt, misguided and arrogant individuals.
Whether you support Thaksin / Samak or PAD leader Sondhi, they’re all as bad as each other. In fact if you look into the history of any successful Thai politician or businessman it’s the same old story, a reliance on monopoly and corruption to fill pockets and fuel egos.
Thailand is in serious trouble and the only people who can do anything about it are those who will only serve to make it worse. It’s time to shed a tear for Thailand.
If only my life was more like the music video for a Thai pop song.
I’d be casually making my way home from work when a few dramatic drum-rolls of thunder and flashes of lightning would announce that the heavens were about to open. I’d hurriedly skip from the edge of one puddle to another and run towards a sheltered spot in the distance. But wait! Oh no, what’s this? I seem to have carelessly bumped into a breathtakingly gorgeous girl who also happens to be heading for the same spot.
Fed up of being pushed around on the skytrain while others stare at the TV adverts, contentedly exploring their nostrils? Or maybe you just don’t know what to do with those fidgety hands of yours? Fear not, the Thai Ministry of Culture is here to help with this handy booklet on Thai social etiquette:
Ok so I admit it, this site has been - among other things - a feeble attempt to make some cash. However, after about 3 months and a surprising number of hits, I can still count the ad revenue with my left hand.
I’m too busy with work and other horrors from the real world right now to keep writing, so for the time being I am giving up. A flash of inspiration in the future might see its glorious resurrection, but in the meantime I’ll be keeping my drivel to myself.
Thanks for reading and stay cool, you of good taste.
As of tonight, bar and club owners throughout Thailand will be legally required to ban all smokers from lighting up inside in their premises.
A similar ban was introduced at pubs and bars in England on July 1st last year, sparking off a social phenomenon that the British press have since dubbed ‘smirting’ (a combination of smoking and flirting at the same time).
