After entering my 5th year of living in Thailand the whole Songkran festival is just way too much, first couple years was fine but now it’s just old and I want out. I don’t want to get wet, period. How do you get away from the Songkran Festival? When is the Songkran Festival Thailand on […]
Had an experience today that I haven’t encountered before, in fact it was kinda creepy not just for me but the girl I’m with. I met this young 18y/o V in Isaan who I thought was just cute as a button, inexperienced and can’t speak a word of English and brought her down to Pattaya
I’m on vacation in Pattaya right now it’s been 9 months since I’ve been down here so I thought I’d check out all the old traps and what is a trip to Pattaya without visiting one of the famous soapy massage parlors in Pattaya. What I thought was just another routine evening turned into a
Walking street and beach road it’s enough alone to keep your eyes firmly at street level at all times. But then when you get back to the hotel/apartment you start to look up. Sometimes sober though often half cut you stare at the sky and sit back and think about how great life is here
Hate is a very strong word and while I don’t think Thai people hate Farang I still think there is a very ingrained dislike for the westerners. Thai’s are very xenophobic and fear is ingrained in them like chili is with their food. So is it that Thai people fear Farang or do they hate
Have you ever met a Thai person called “Moo” (meaning Pig) and then noticed how large they are? Or have you ever met a “Nok” (meaning bird) who never stops talking? I’ve been noticing lately how Thai people seem to match the personality of the Nickname they were given. Really that’s just the top of
There’s a battle going on in Chiang Mai these days, there are Gibbons, Squirrels and Eagles fighting for the dominance of the lucrative Zip Line adventure tours. Flight of the Gibbon were the first to come out and have set up shop in the big tourist cities of Thailand, they are the heavy weights, but
I’ve been in Khon Kaen a few days now and met a number of people but this story is really about single moms in Thailand not just the one I met. If you use the dating sites you’ll notice a very strange fact. 80% of single moms on the dating sites have a son, weird
My life which like that of other Expats in Thailand either retired out here early or working online typically sleep when the sun comes up. Being awake during the night however you see a lot of crazy stuff happen even in “mild” Chiang Mai. I’ve been living on and off on the same street for
First of all I just want to shout out and Thank everyone who has come to visit the Living Thai blog during 2012 without you guys this site wouldn’t be what it is and a special Thanks to all the VIP guys who have supported the development of this site. Today is the last day
I go to the Facebook Fan page for this site “Living Thai” because i noticed all these messages and checked my web logs to find a thousand people came to the site from Facebook today. Definitely more than usual only to find out that with much excitement and thrill I made it onto the Thai
Fresh off of his re-election victory, President Obama will be coming to Thailand in less than a week. The President is due to arrive in Thailand some time on Sunday (though time and date not yet officially confirmed) during a 3 day trip where he’ll also visit Cambodia and Burma. So this is a pretty
Thailand has a huge sex industry and Farang who use sex services in Thailand make up only a small percentage of the overall Thai sex industry. While the likes of Pattaya, Nana plaza and Patong are really in your face, for the rest of the country it’s hidden away and few guys ever see what
Often times when I get into conversations with guys at the bar, I let them share all of their “expertise” while I just sit back and listen. Naturally everyone thinks they’re an expert, but I’m not very confrontational so I let people go on and on regardless of whether or not they’re right or wrong.
I’ve seen more drama this week than I have my entire stay in Thailand and last night topped the cake when some Farang bit me at Spicy nightclub. I’m there with a few mates and I can see other guys I know around the club and as usual I’m not really talking to any girls
The guide books to Thailand tell you a lot of thing you need when you are coming and have arrived in Thailand but in none of those guides have I seen these three things mentioned and I think are a must to enjoy the most out of living in Thailand especially the first one which
