    Sage advice 

    Never be too proud to solve a problem that a little cash couldn’t solve a lot quicker.

    Giving In 

    I’ve just learned to accept that when you’re with a Thai girl, what’s your’s is her’s and what’s her’s is her’s.

    Business 101 

    Sitting at one of those street bars out on Sukhumvit after hours I was talking to the owner of one of the bars. All of the other bars were full but I was her only customer.

    Me: You know, all of the other bars are playing Hotel California and stuff like that. You should play some farang music.

    Her: I don’t like farang music.

    Dreaming in Tinglish 

    This place must be getting to me. Last night I was dreaming I was playing in the ocean with my girlfriend and there was a stingray in the water. My girlfriend said “Be careful sting fish.” Sting fish? She’s never seen a stingray. I just made up sting fish in my dream because that’s what I thought she would call it. I’m dreaming in Tinglish!

    So there I was one night, riding an elephant from Soi Cowboy to The Thermae. Of course, I was drunk.

    Massage Parlors 

    Guy to his friend: The best way to tell if a massage parlor is legit is to walk by it with your girlfriend. If all the women out front pretend you don’t even exist you can be pretty sure that they offer special services.
