I am wondering about the fact that this would happen no matter where one lives. I think it is important to quickly revise your well-worn patterns to find the beauty in anyplace you are at the present time. Granted you are farang forever, but there are some cool aspects to your current “prison sentence.” Best wishes, but a good sign you are still “in the mix” is you keep your humor.

Great list SF. I admit I’m guilty of 1-5 and 7-14…well, let’s exclude 6 and 11. My ladyboy conned me into having a fried cockroach one night after I had a few too many in Nana. She wouldn’t admit what she gave me until a week later…when we were in a public place and I couldn’t do anything about it.
But I got even. I fed her some fried rattlesnake on her first trip to Texas.

You must have been very confident of her ability to pass.

Loved this item! Will be coming to Bangkok and Pattaya in October. Am considering staying in the Malaysia OR Babylon Barracks in Bangkok and, in Pattaya, Cafe Royale OR Ambiance. Any thoughts on preferences?
Meanwhile, keep up the good work and excellent writing - you make a great ambassador for Thailand despite the frustrations!
