Mekong Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 All of you should deepen your knowledge about the Kingdom by reading more stickman . :rotl: Bubi, thank you for the best laugh of 2014 so far, as much as I occasionally peruse Sticks columns for a little light relief I can assure you, as he admits himself, that he is not an oracle on Bangkok, nightlife or otherwise, he just stumbled across a format that worked and keeps him in a day to day living before he considers his next move, I very much doubt he would ever consider being able to retire from his board income. Believe it or not there are many expats, some are even BM's, who have spent a lot longer in Thailand than Stickman and at a guess are probably slightly more financially secure, in fact the majority that I know don't even have an online personna and just get along with their own lives / careers.

buffalo_bill Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Khun Mekong , I did actually write this to make the formidable expats spitting at me , touché . I know of course that praising stick is not elegant and shows naivity beyond any limits but I have to insist that he explained the increase in barfines like I said . I wonder by the way what a writer would have to write on weekly basis over many years so that the residing expats like it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Ask Trink. He wrote his column for 37 years and everyone liked to poke fun at him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaron Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Why CNY? How many Chinese Thais have you seen working in gogo bars? And the handful that are there are likely to be from Bangkok. Doesn't stop them overcharging for Christmas (not a Buddhist/Thai celebration), NYE or other Western Holidays... Why not do it on CNY as well?

Flashermac Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've never seen it done. But don't give them any new ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 i like the idea of 'sexual shutdown' be it to pressure government, rice farmers, farmers daughters, democrats, thai360 boardmembers etc to practice restraint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Slippery slope of recent years. First the Xmas and NYE bollocks followed in places by whole weeks of raised fees on the basis of demand outstripping supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Fair enough if they are going to raise fees for the high season ... provided they lower them for the low season! They don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
