A month and a half ago I moved to Pattaya in what some people called a bad decision and it’s still too early to tell now if it was a good move or not. The cost of moving to Pattaya for me were fairly minimal since I was already living in Thailand it only costs […]
When it comes to arts and drawing so many Thai people have a flair and a knack for drawing and painting pretty much anything. Here are some videos of some Thai guys in Bangkok who have made the underground graffiti crew go mainstream.
Seems like the stuff of science fiction a spacecraft in space docks on a floating metorite and drills it for a 20 tonnes of platinum or gold then disembarks the rock and returns to earth profiting hundreds of millions of dollars. But it makes you wonder though doesn’t it, why wasn’t this the whole plan
The past week has been a little crazy and I haven’t had much luck lately but am determined not to get down about it. A bout of food poisoning and a string of bad luck stories at the go go bars I’m hoping my trip to Chiang Mai for the Monger meetup will change my
My mate calls me the other day from Chiang Mai and tells me that he’s witnessing this person floating dead in the Moat that surrounds the old city of Chiang Mai. Not the first time I’ve heard or seen for that matter a dead person floating in the moat but then he screams out and
My girlfriend and I have been planning a trip to Hua Hin for the past month kind of like a well deserved holiday which we haven’t really had for a long time. It was supposed to be a present for me and my girlfriend as we’ve been working really hard on this new product that
Make some new friends drink cheap beer and watch coyote dancers. What better way is there to spend a Friday night. Come down to the Always Drunk bar otherwise known as เมาสบาย in Thai for a night of fun and make some new friends. Due to me having to sign into Immigration I’ll be coming
Living in Pattaya is definitely an experience and what’s most startling is the amount of guys who fall in love with these Isaan bar girls and have delusions that these girls love them back. What possesses a man to come to Pattaya pays for a girl to sleep with him then thinks because he sends
This letter was sent to me from a reader regarding the recent crackdown on drink driving in Thailand. You shouldn’t be driving drunk especially in Pattaya so if you get caught you really can’t complain about the repercussions. In the letter it says that no assistance or translations were provided which under Thai law as
Tipping is more an American thing than it is Australian, in fact when I grew up in Australia the only time I tipped was the barmen so I could get a stronger drink. The service industry in Thailand is very similar to the American industry and those who work particularly at pubs clubs and restaurants
Anyone who knows me from Chiang Mai knows I’ve spent more than a few dozen nights at the Bises Resort curtain Hotel. I love the place, it’s only been open for a year now and is probably the most popular short time hotel in Chiang Mai. Then when I was reading the Thai news today
Last year on the 19th of April 2011 I decided to register the domain name livingthai.org and share what I know about Thailand and living in Thailand and that’s pretty much how it started. Since then this blog has had over a million page views 2000 newsletter subscribers and 800 members and is continuing to
Sonkran is still going on in Pattaya tomorrow the 19th is the last big day of the water here and most businesses close. All the go-gos will be closed too which probably explains why there are few tourists in Pattaya right now. I’ve been here for just over a month now and am still loving
Finding and meeting a girl in Thailand is easier than anywhere in the free world but often finding a girl who is single, likes Farang, and speaks a decent amount of English is hard work. Thanks to the internet and internet dating sites you can access tens of thousands of single Thai women within minutes
The first time I ever experienced the Songkran festival it was fun and cute I was in a small village few hours North of Bangkok and only one of a few hundred revelers which consisted mainly of children. Everyone else either stayed home and went to the temple where a circle of maybe 20 big
I came upon this video and really brings up an interesting question and that is “would you marry a prostitute if you knew she would walk out if you had no money left?”. If she is with you only for money in the first place why wouldn’t you just put her on a permanent long
