Gay Boy Thailand

1. Chalerm said it was easy to make money. He could just go to Singapore and sit around in a pub, and he would make 20 000 baht a day. Who told him this? He refused to answer. I have some suspects, namely the Three Ladyboys. A couple of them have the air of business around them.

2. Granny is still here. My heartless plan of holding back her pension until she left came to nothing. I am not very good at intrigue and blackmail. I gave her the money as usual, at the time she usually gets it, and said nothing. Chalerm wanted me to personally hand over the money to granny, but I said he could do it.

3. I have made three dozen web pages for Farang D’s business, and it feels great to watch the site grow. It doesn’t feel as great when I am stuck with some technical issue, which happens now and then. But overall I feel a carpenter’s pride of building a house with my own hands.

4. Chalerm is in a good mood. He sends me romantic text messages on the phone. “I keep my heart with the sun. I keep my kisses with the moon. I keep my good care with the star. Can I keep my love with you?”

5. Tuesday is Valentine’s. The shops in Bangkok have been filled with red hearts and pink stuffed animals for a week already. I will buy him something to add to the ever growing collection of romantic stuff Chalerm keeps behind glass in the living room.

6. I feel quite romantic myself. The last few weeks have been good here in The Mansion. Is this despite granny or because of her? Chalerm is happy to see her. After he moved to Bangkok he hasn’t seen her that often. Granny is getting long in the tooth and it is nice that he gets to spend some quality time with the woman who raised him while she is still up and about.

7. I can recognise a number of European languages by the sound, such as Russian and Italian. And Danish. I ran into a middle aged Danish couple on Silom road today. I wondered if I should ask them about the prophet cartoons but guessed they had enough of it already.

8. If two men try to shout to each other from opposite sides of Silom road they are probably Italian.

9. Some Russians were making a fuss because the French Fries at Burger King were cold. These spoiled Russians are used to hot French Fries! The confused staff took back the fries and gave them new fries only to be told that the new batch also were cold. At Burger King Silom they don’t make fries to each customer as orders come in. They make a lot of fries at the same time so it will last a while. It works with rice.
