Here's one I haven't seen mentioned here. Why is the Durex 49 millimeter size condom in the convenience store priced at 45 baht for a pack of three, while the 52.5 millimeter size is 75 baht for three?

Well to add some context, according to Wilkepedia, "....given the fact that all the existing radio stations belong to the Royal Thai Government, military or security agencies, the issue of free speech or civil right has never been challenged or tested in those "main stream" radio stat...

Going mad for choosing to live here. What really might be considered goofy and quite insane are those that insist on residing here, yet invent reasons that the social order is the culprit for his suspected madness. Who is the mentally disturbed regarding these situations.. Who said the social order...

To the owner of the satirical website where this story appears, you might consider making it possible to contact you. There are good writers out there who would be willing to contribute if you are interested. I even know one who is creating a sitcom about expat life in the Kingdom. He hopes it may k...

Many will complain ad nauseum about how the holiday now serves no purpose but to add to the mayhem on our already life threatening roads. Not me though. Because...

If your target groups are not limited to Thai children, the Mae Sot area in Northwestern Thailand is a great place for education and humanitarian efforts. There are some 70 schools and orphanages there that have been built by NGOs, private donors and international volunteers working to educate the c...

This reminds me, I have three white linen shirts I need to replace, as I prefer them to all my others. When I lived in the US 20 years ago you could buy linen shirts and slacks from good haberdashers, and in department stores such as Bloomingdales, where fine clothes are sold. But they weren't cheap...

Constantly encountering people who make it clear after a very short time (either by word or action) that they only want to spend time with you because of what you can do for them. I teach adults part time at a language school where I have a class that I've been with for a long time. We were talking...
