A Day at the Office and Abandoned in a Monastery in Bangkok
An hour and 40 minutes later, the four of us were still sitting in the basement, sweating, joking and swatting away mosquitoes with no sign of the monk. We finally banded together and went upstairs, where the monk was just sitting around. He said, “are you done?”

A Thai Wife or Girlfriend
Another fascinating aspect of Thailand is the large amount of older and larger white men with young and attractive Thai woman. While some of these are surely a John/prostitute situation, many of them are in actual relationships. Everywhere we looked we saw these girls canoodling and holding hands with men …

Living it Up in Southern Thailand…This and That
On our last night in Bangkok, I ate a fried grasshopper. We saw the end of a series of regatta boat races in Krabi. The price difference between an air conditioned room and a non-AC room is usually so small that we have just been treating ourselves. After trying to …
