PasaNINJA’s recent blog about medical tourism highlights the fact that Thailand is attractive to foreigners because of high levels of care and customer service by Thai nurses. In a sense, it is the same reason that so many regular tourists come to Thailand. Borikarn pen kan eng. Or service with a smile. It’s what Thailand and Thai people do exceptionally well.

The meaning of true love: UPDATED BLOG

Posted by Poomjai , Reader : 1865 , 22:35:57

29 September 2007Has anyone seen the movie ‘The Notebook’? If not then I would suggest that you do. To me it defines the meaning of true love. I was reminded of this movie today when talking to my friends. Somehow, I recalled the day 2 years ago when I met the 89 year old Englishman, Bill, at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in the centre of Kanchanaburi. Bill had been an RAF Regiment Sergeant station....

Farangs feel bargain hunting is best in Thai markets!

Posted by Poomjai , Reader : 1667 , 03:04:53

Over the past week I have enjoyed a mini-spending spree in Bangkok. I bought so many things and you know what? It cost me 10% of what I would have paid in England or indeed, the Emporium or Paragon. And I could have bought ten times as much stuff and still been in the mood to buy more. Why? Well because I spent my time mooching around Chatuchak. And it really is heaven for the handicraft shopper....

English Football: Premiership is Paragon; Championship is Chatuchak

The Premiership is the multi-million pound, commercial enterprise with the best football and the most ‘bling’.
