Technical difficulties with the Alex Teaches Thai video.

Got ready to upload it to YouTube, checked it once last time and — no sound. Bummer. So tomorrow morning I'll rework it and put it up as soon as I'm done. My apologies...

For those interested - today is Alex's 12th birthday. Cake eating to commence shortly.




Learning to Speak Thai with Alex - Episode 1 (Video)

My son Alex teaches Thai - Episode 1. In this episode he'll introduce himself and teach a few basic phrases. Episode 2 will go up shortly after episode 1 and he'll teach you the Thai words for several popular fruits sold here in Thailand. Episode 3 will be more basic phrases.

Thailand's Bar Girls and Farang

Before beginning my diatribe, let me state for the record I most certainly understand the utilitarian properties of the Thai bar girl. Why, if it weren’t for my wife — who I shall not preface with any adjective such as lovely, sweet, adorable, or kind-hearted (as so many seem to like to do when speaking of their Thai spouse) — my own proclivity for girls-for-hire would probably get the better of me...continued

Falling In Love In Thailand: An Editorial

There comes a time most men’s lives when for whatever reason, they become involved in a serious relationship, eventually taking the plunge and getting married. No matter where you live, marriage is always a dicey prospect, but when sex is more available than chocolate, tying the knot becomes even more hazardous.
