Yes, against all the odds that the Thaksin family and their cronies would never be convicted, the Thai Supreme Court has today sensationally sentenced Thaksin’s wife, Pojaman, to three years in jail for tax fraud - not biggest sum in the world, only 546m baht (£8.2m / $16.4m).
Her brother was also given the same sentence [...]

Today at work while working on a project, I stumbled upon this news story of a transexual toilet in a Thai school which I found absolutely hilarious!

My mate says this story demonstrates a high level of tolerance and diversity in the Thai society but as far as I’m concerned this is diversity gone mad! According [...]

Every country has its own gang culture problem and Thailand is no exception. Here, we don’t [...]

The other day I wrote a post on Jet Metropolitan Club in Ekamai and left a comment that I bumped into this Nong Poy ladyboy by accident and she totally captured my imagination and possibly all the men’s in the club on that wicked night out.
According to my Google Analytics stats, by far the most [...]

Before moving into my current apartment, I did the usual thing by asking the landlady about everything including the internet connection that would serve as my gateway to the online world for at least six months to come. She said it’s a high speed connection running at an impressive 18mbps and shared by all the [...]

As part of the campaign to help ease the economic pressure fuelled by rising oil prices which have hit the poorest the hardest, the Thai government has introduced a plan to provide free bus rides for commuters in Bangkok.
