It’s all great to hear about how cheap and wonderful things are here, you can pickup girls like apples on a tree, wild crazy hangover nights that cost less than 50 bucks, but that’s mostly for tourists. Living in Thailand is a lot of hassle and seriously aggravating and often times smelly and dirty. Life […]
I moved to Thailand for a lot of reasons but none bigger than the need to get away from the 9-5 cubicle grind, I hated having to wake up the same time every day, punching the clock, and being too tired on the weekends to really do anything. The first few years in Thailand I
Millions of people visit Pattaya Thailand every year…and it isn’t just for the beach 😉 People are here to fulfill their natural animal desires…but some guys seem to leave all common sense at the airport and start mixing lust with love. Some of the most common mistakes and lies that guys tell themselves when they
I’ve dated university girls from several countries now and I’d have to say that USA girls are the most fun and adventurous but the Thai University girls are on top of the list because of one reason, the Uniform. Thai’s wear uniforms for all levels of schooling and pretty much any customer service related industry
I have a close friendship with about 20 people in Chiang Mai. We’re either programmers, hackers, marketers, local businessmen, bloggers, and designers. All from different countries, languages and backgrounds nearly everyone has been here for years and what I think really what we all have in common is the hate of Digital Nomads. The term
The past two years I’ve either been living down the depths of Bangkok Nana area, the middle of Ho Chi Minh City, or in the Center of Chiang Mai Tae Phae Gate. What do all of these locations have in common? Tourists! Don’t get me wrong I love the tourists centers. Always something going on,
These days it’s more common to hear a westerner speaking Thai than you might think. Thai isn’t as difficult as Thai people make it out to be, a year of study a year of practicce and you could speak good enough Thai host your own reality social media show. These days most Thai people have
More and more digital nomads are moving to Thailand, it’s now almost at the point where if you want to become a digital nomad, living in Thailand is almost like a right of passage. I’m all for people coming to Thailand to work on their own startup but what really urkes me about the digital nomads
There has always been talk about leaving Thailand, the forums are full of threads suggesting “escape plans” and history is ridden with well known folk who have just packed up and left. But Thailand is and still remains the jewel of South East Asia where it is still rated as: THE best place to retire
For several months now I’ve had people ask me “who is Stickboy?”, and how the hell should I know? I don’t. But there are some things that I do know. First the Stickboy name is a copy of popular Thailand Blogger Stickman Bangkok. That’s probably the second thing I hear people say following their intriguing
You ever been to a beer bar and it’s obvious that NONE of the girls are interested in you taking them out? Girls are all smiles and dragging you into a bar and as soon as you sit down they somehow disappear? This is not a new phenomena nor is it because you smell bad
I haven’t ridden a bike honestly since High School and the idea of biking around Bangkok, while it would beat walking, finding a place to dump it when I get to my destination just sounds like a nightmare. Spend only a few days in Bangkok and you’ll notice a lot of people use bikes, especially
I’m forever hearing the debate about Good girls vs Bad girls so let me give you the newsflash, Guys, There’s no such thing as a good Thai girl! Sigmund Freud identified the “Madonna/whore” psychological complex, in which men see women as either pure, saintly creatures or filthy prostitutes. But as we all know, the world
I’m a terrible pool player but for the past 6 months I’ve played more games than I have in my entire life! It’s already a hard game to play but what’s fascinating to me is the rules and I was recently educated to the way people play in Bangkok. How it started was I was
I lived in Chiang Mai for years and I never called a cab, not once! Mostly because if you called them it would be 200 baht minimum! It’s a lot cheaper now and I actually think they have meter taxis now but still there’s a calling charge and not really worth it. I can’t remember
You know I’m doing something random if I’ve been speaking to English teachers, better known as the bottom of the barrel when it comes to expats in Thailand. For whatever reason it seems that most ESL teachers in Thailand have a chip on their shoulder like they are better than everyone else. I don’t have
