The moneyboy on the corner had grabbed Larson’s arm and was pulling the farang along. Duff stood in their way.
- Larson, said Duff. – Don’t go with this boy. He is dangerous.
- Dangerous? said Larson. – Says who?

My boyfriend in the office

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

I caught my boyfriend Chalerm sleeping in the office a few times. I was alarmed by this and chided him.
- You think only me lazy office? asked Chalerm. – Is normal. When have no customer.
- You can’t get away with that in an office in Farangland, I said. – There must be something else you can do. Marketing?
- Is not my job. And Thai manager same. Him go shopping not come back.

A discreet flirt in the market

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

When I flirt with Thai boys I want to be discreet. I don’t want others to notice it, I don’t want to make any fuss or embarrass anyone, and I want it to be deniable. I like to keep it ambiguous. What, me flirt with a boy? Not at all. I was just being friendly.

Soi news

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

When I entered the living room today I saw a huge pink teddy bear resting in the sofa. Next to it was the Prince of Khon Kaen, sleeping. He had the air condition on, but had forgotten to close the door to the kitchen, which again had an open door to the balcony. No wonder our electricity bill is high. I closed the doors and turned the air cond down. The Prince is 21 and hence safely within the age range for Thai boys hugging teddy bears at night.

Letter: Premature shopping

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

This one deserves its own post. Thank you J.

Silom

J Says: Well, unfortunately, Silom Farang, I can beat that story. I just won’t be able to tell it as well.

It was a couple years ago and I had just arrived in Bangkok. One of my first stops was the big Watson’s on Silom, across the street from Patpong. I was picking up supplies — condoms and gel but also some sunscreen, shaving cream and what not so I wouldn’t be too embarrassed at the cash register.

Buying soft p*rn in the soi

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

I am not embarrassed to buy boy magazines at the 7-Eleven in the soi. Thailand has several such magazines with semi-nude young men posing. In theory these magazines are for girls, but I still haven’t seen any female buy one. I have no idea who buys them.

The dirty look

Friday, August 25th, 2006

shirtless Japanese boy

I don’t know what the context was for this dirty look, where it seems the boy has just fallen off a bike and into a ditch. But I know where he comes from - Hikaru was one of the Johnny’s Entertainment singers from Japan.

Thai baht received

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Farang D’s Thai boy manager has paid their web design debts in full. He put the money in Chalerm’s bank account. I sent a text message to Farang D to thank him but I have not received any response. Farang D used to send me up to a dozen text messages a day but after I asked for payment before doing any more work he fell silent. I guess I am off his list.

Sit down, please

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

I was sitting outside the Grand Palace, practicing my Thai with some young ladies. What those ladies did for a living shall remain unsaid, but they were friendly and talkative.
