I am unfortunately another farang statistic that, against all the advice I was given, I still tried to chase and be with a Thai bar girl. The fact that I am writing this, you probably already know how this story is going to end. I first went to Thailand in the winter of 2023. This…

The entire experience of Thailand began in a small city in Canada in 2007. I had been dating a Chinese Singaporean at the beginning of my third year of university. We had a very stable relationship and I felt the relationship was quite worth it. Unfortunately, after about a year into it, she was visiting…

I became the nice guy in a Thailand bar triangle. This story is quite different from most of the stories I had heard, and it shows how things can go wrong in Thailand. It really is quite upsetting to hear all the stories about how so many people have had their lives completely ruined and…

If you’re looking for a way to describe me as a person before all this happened to me, you wouldn’t be too far off the mark if you called me green around the ears when it came to all things Thailand. My story starts when I was 42 years old. I was single. I had…

I enlisted in the military in 1966 and volunteered for Vietnam. I had what was called the “John Wayne syndrome” I wanted to go to war, fight, and be a hero. There is a saying in the military that they never give you what you want. Since I volunteered for Vietnam, they sent me to…

The first time I was in Thailand was in 2007. I did not think very much of it back then in some ways, but in others I loved it. That is the truth of it. I was posted there by my company to transition the office in Bangkok out of Thailand to Singapore, and I…
