GETTING MARRIED TO A THAI
There are some decisions in life that require serious consideration. One such decision is whether to get married. If we make the wrong decision, it can cause us extreme emotional and financial suffering. This suffering might last for many years to come. By taking a closer look at this subject, we can all remind ourselves how important the commitment of marriage really is. It would be very foolish not to take marriage seriously. Despite the fact that it has almost become a trend to get divorced, marriage is about entering a partnership with the person you love and care for. The vows that one recites, emphasise a special commitment to a loved one, who is to become (theoretically speaking) our life partner. It is a sad fact that in Farangland most marriages fail. This is so often such a worrying problem, because children are caught up in the crossfire. In some extreme cases, the children are used as ammunition to win divorce cases. This is nothing short of sick, but in this era of dog-eat-dog, it is often a matter of “win at all costs.” These are the facts of the matter, which is a sad reflection of today’s society. (more…)

Welcome to the Thai New Year 2551 and let’s all hope it is a good year for Thailand. Another Songkran has come and gone for most of us, but don’t forget that Pattaya will continue the water warfare until this weekend. I have to say that I thought the Songkran Festival was a bit quiet overall this year. If you question what I mean by that, then just ask a bar owner. The go-go bars in Bangkok had fewer go-go dancers, due to many bar girls deciding to go home this Songkran. Some go-go bars cut their girls as much as 2,000 Baht per day. This is a very severe cut for not working during Songkran. However, this can be counterproductive to the bar, because some bar girls will stop work for the rest of April. If a bargirl is cut 6,000 Baht that is over 50% of a go-go dancers salary. Of course, many Thais are on much lower salaries than go-go dancers are. Most service girls don’t earn 6,000 Baht. Therefore, a bargirl might well think; why should I work for nothing? I would hazard a guess that in most go-go bars in Bangkok, the takings were down on last year. Also, I couldn’t help but notice that fewer bargirls got into the spirit of things. (more…)

NANA PLAZA – WELCOME TO THE NEON JUNGLE
This news might come as something of a surprise to you, but the owners of Nana Plaza have been digging into their pockets. According to the Nana Plaza management (Nana Castle), the escalator next to Lucky Luke’s Bar inside Nana Plaza should be operational in about one week. The new escalator is now operational. Apparently, the job was finished before expected - that is a shock by Thai building standards! It has not been repaired, but instead it has been replaced by a brand new escalator. For those of you who are not keen on using lifts, or stairs, the new escalator will be an excellent alternative. By installing the new escalator, I think it will please everybody, but especially the disabled. Fellow internet columnist Baron Bonk should be thrilled with the new escalator. We can now send dear ole Baron Bonk up to greater heights! Combined with a clear pathway at the entrance to Nana Plaza, it will be much easier to enter and exit, plus go up to the middle level.
Recently I have spoken to Khun Num who runs Rainbow 1 and Rainbow 3, about the old Farang Connection. (If you cannot quite remember, Farang Connection was located next door to Rainbow 3 on the middle level in Nana Plaza). If you did not know, Khun Num has taken over the lease and is currently building a Thai restaurant there. The building work is progressing steadily as we speak. The new owner has hinted that he thinks he will just sell Thai food. I am sure that it is not easy, or cheap to hire a chef who can cook both Eastern and Western cuisine to international standards. More interestingly, with some of the hot babes that will be dining here, it definitely will not be your average Thai noodle shop! (more…)

CELEBRATING ST. PATRICK’S DAY IN BANGKOK (PART ONE)
Today is a special Monday, because it is St. Patrick’s Day. For the uninitiated, St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide, but it is a particularly HUGE celebration in America… As I walked inside, I surveyed the scene and within a few seconds, I spotted my friend Rob. We had arranged to meet at Bully’s Pub, which is located next to the JW Marriott Hotel on Sukhumvit Road. There was a large table available, so we sat down and soaked up the relaxing atmosphere. Previously, this place was nothing more than a mere shell, but the new owner ET has done a terrific job of improving it. We can forget those early days, because Bully’s Pub is now established as one of the most popular pubs in Bangkok. And, I was about to find out why. Although it was only 6:00pm, already a crowd was starting to build. Bully’s Pub draws large crowds and even though it is a large pub, it fills up at peak trading hours. (more…)

ROMANTIC REMINDER – CUPID’S CALLING
Some of you less romantic folks might need a reminder that it is Valentine’s Day tomorrow. This is to jog your memory, because you know what us men are like for remembering special days. Try not to forget a card, or gift for the special person in your life. It is not too late to surprise your teerak (sweetheart) by arranging a romantic dinner for two. Just by making the effort, I am sure that it will be appreciated. We should get away with being a Romantic Romeo and not be accused of getting too soppy by our macho mates. Wherever you spend this year’s Valentine’s Day, I sincerely hope you have a pleasant time. Who will be your Valentine? (more…)
