Guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Maybe the cop did not have his laytex gloves with him. I would be a bit cautious dealing with a bloody person in BKK ( maybe more so than in the west). Still, getting what passes for an amblance in thailand would be tough, using a taxi would be the way to go if you could get a driver to stop once he saw the condition of the person.

If this girl was in as bad as shape as you say. Was the cop blind?" I'm not surprised. I know a woman who was robbed by two guys with guns while taking out money from a bank ATM in broad daylight. There was a bank security guard standing a few metres away, and when he saw what was going on, he casually looked away, pretending not to notice. TIT - this is Thailand.

Thanks for the tip, Bey. Very entertaining read. I will look forward to your 'Postcard from Tokyo' series! I am having thoughts about looking for work there myself at the moment - maybe we will finally meet!? There is some good stuff in that section of Stickman now, isn't there? Might dust off a couple of old stories myself. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hey LG, I typed that very quickly as they only gave me 2 hours notice, basically a quick brain dump. Now I think back I missed a lot....maybe the next one.....looking forward to yours. Stickman must get a lot of hits, he had that article up there less than a week and I had more than dozen responses back. I must say all of them were positive, not sure why some PC person hasn't jumped me yet, they always seem to find a reason to get offended. I will write Postcard from Tokyo series, perhaps with little more planning, I am not sure if I can be as passionate about it though....and I'll have to find Japanese Stickman to publish it....actually a friend has an equivalent but let's say it is just developing. Incidentally, I looked for you at the DC and the Living Room the other day, I must have mistimed it....next time !! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If I don't see the Farang, I won't have to talk to him and this will save us both from the embarrassment that arises when I cannot understand his Thai and he cannot understand my English."
