Fuji Apples at Big C – 29 THB

Farang Food Alert:

Awesome apples, these FUJI brand from Big C. I can sometimes find them in the open market – but there is another kind that looks similar to Fuji apples and they’re junk.

Usually the way I tell them at the market is they are like 12-15 baht each.

So – 4 Fuji apples at Big C for 29 Baht is a winner. Go get some, they’re amazing. It even says “Organic” on the wrapper… for what it’s worth…

Guy Caught on National TV

Great clip… look at the guy over the shoulder of the one supposed to be getting the attention of the camera…

This won’t happen in Thailand because we have censors that take care of all our naughty internet surfing…

Mildly Venomous Thailand Snake: Red Necked Keelback

I let my Malaysian Pit Viper go the other day – and haven’t had time to get the video of that up on YouTube yet.

This is my new girl – a Thai girl – but, she’s from all over southeast Asia – she gets around you might say. She’s STUNNING beautiful too… I thought Malaysian girls were hot… this one might be the prettiest girl I’ve ever laid eyes on.

I’m Afraid of Americans…

I’m afraid of Americans.

David Bowie and Trent Reznor…

Prozac? Nahh, Give Me the Good Stuff

I strongly recommend a sometimes daily dose of fukitol. We all need it – especially if you’re living in the USA.

Here in Thailand I don’t need this nearly as much – especially because I’m not teaching English. Hell, I’m not even working per se. lol.

I haven’t gone to the site yet  – hope it’s not spamfilled.

Google Being Blocked in Thailand?

I cannot go to any google.com search page either by typing it into my address bar, or using the small plugin I have with FireFox.

I can reach Google Adwords, but not Google Adsense.

I can reach Google webmaster tools.

WTF Thailand? You know, one of the things that seriously pisses off the entire country (or maybe just me), is that internet here is ridiculously lame in comparison even with other 3rd world countries. It’s outrageously FAIL every few days.

Right now I’m watching my TOT ADSL modem flash as it has been for the last 36 hours – because, apparently the wind is blowing somewhere. Yeah, no joke – when the wind blows or when it rains hard – ADSL across the entire country goes out.

This is why wireless 3G, 4G or some fucking G is so important to those of us sweating it out trying to stay connected in this god forsaken technology backward country.

I’m using EDGE – mobile phone connection over AIS – the most consistent internet that exists in the whole damn country. It’s slow like 1998 dial up connections over a phone line in America – but, that’s what this country offers… solid EDGE performance.

Welcome to Thailand – don’t forget to purchase your AIS SIM card for your phone as you arrive in the country – it’s the most solid internet the entire country offers to visitors and countrymen. Get to love it… mai pen rai…

Eating Scorpion – Overnight in Hospital Story

I finally updated the story with the proper videos – the one of me in the hospital I don’t think I’ve posted here before.

My New Girlfriend from Malaysia

Thailand is one of the coolest places a man could live. That much is sure. Though I’ve not sampled too many other countries in the world, probably not even a dozen, but I have to believe Thailand is the RIGHT place for a guy to have some fun.

A while back I had two friends. One was having Thai girl trouble. It was his ex-girlfriend and she kept coming around the bar he owned and trying to get him to go with her. His wife didn’t approve. My other friend talked to all of them together and somehow convinced them all to live together so “Jeff” could have his cake, and eat it too. They tried it and it worked for more than a year.

I want the same deal. In Thailand many see this as NORMAL. I hope eventually we get to that point in our house… my Thai wife is not happy about it.

I found this gorgeous little Malay girl from the south and I saw her a couple times before I decided – forget this – I’m going to take her out of the shadows and make this legit. She’s coming home with me.

My wife was terrified of course.  It’s going to screw up our family… what we have… Is it right to bring a new girl in the house with a 3 month old? I wasn’t sure about right and wrong at this point – I just know what I want.

I picked her up yesterday and it has not been quiet around the house, but eventually I think my wife will come around and accept my new girl.

Anyway, I shot a short video about it – as my friend said in the Philippines, Vern will be getting some new tail!

Thailand Scorpion: Do You Check Your Shoes?

This was a gift from God himself… because God knows how much I love bonuses in the form of deadly beasts. What else does god have to do, he’s not paying attention to anything else apparently.

This litter sucker just jumped into my snake tank. No idea how he got there except he must have fallen off something and landed in there. He couldn’t get out so he staked out a corner and quietly got his nap on for a night. I looked in that tank the day before and nothing there – so he’s a recent visitor.

I was just about to drop my new girl in the snake tank when I noticed him there…

What a day… a finger-rotter as “ViperKeeper” calls them (www.youtube.com/viperkeeper) – actually a Malayan Pit Viper – great specimen and good temperament, I should be able to get some great photos over in the red dirt later next week. He calls them finger rotters because if they happen to get you in the finger your fingers are going to melt and they’ll have to remove whatever part the venom spread to.

And, my bonus scorpion. I’ve no idea the scientific name for this scorpion – maybe someone can help?
