HOT IN THE CITY
As if the City Of Angels was not hot enough what with a steamy nightlife and hot babes in abundance, the temperature is rising as we see the hot season arrive. Surprisingly it is still relatively cool at night which is a blessing in disguise, because the furnace heat of Bangkok is unrivalled by almost any other capital city in this part of the world.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
Once again that special time is upon us when we can get away with being a Romantic Romeo and not be accused of getting too soppy by our macho mates. I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day, but definitely not from me in the Biblical sense. Do not expect me to hug and kiss you, or that would be one hell of a mess!
Wherever you may be and whoever you share Valentine’s Day with, I sincerely hope you have a good one. Who will be your Valentine? (more…)

THE THREE SEASONS
With global warming taking an affect upon the weather around the world, please understand that this is only an approximate guide and therefore suspect to freak changes in the climate. Currently, the weather is quite cold for Thailand and it always amuses me to see staff inside the bars wearing hats, coats and jackets. What on earth would they think of the harsh winter in Farangland? (more…)
