Upon learning that a sequel to the Hollywood blockbuster, the Hangover was being filmed in my then-residence Bangkok, curiosities arose. When you’ve lived in Thailand’s capital for the better part of a decade, you pretty much see it all and it doesn’t take long before one becomes jaded amid the cosmopolitan wonder of a city which [international] name’s pronunciation resembles a ludicrous action. What follows is a part-film review, part-social-cultural perspective and critique, and represents the sincere opinions of the author. Read more »

Following are images taken in Denver and Thornton, Colorado during the period between the months of February and March of 2011. These images–random and intentional snaps of typical, ordinary, daily life in the United States–were taken with a Nokia smart phone, model E63, which camera’s resolution is less than two mega pixels. For web optimization, the photos have been reduced to 25 percent of their original size. Read more »

Since departing stateside last on December 31, 2003, the Siamerican Wanderer’s February, 2011 return to the fatherland marked some 85 months habituating the land of Thai straight through; having anticipated a long-due return to his birth country, the dual-national, Siamese-American hybrid had diligently been preparing himself mentally and physically for several months leading up to his most recent Asia-exodus flight, knowing all-to-well he would be at high risk of ‘culture shock’ when re-exposed to the multi-cultural tessellation commonly known as America.

I know I have a record for two misdemeanor charges in the state of Colorado from 2003 and I wanted to see what exact results would show using an instant pay search service. After verifying payment to the website, I was shocked to see the results:
No Records Found
This post is to report a service review. On Saturday, December 11, 2010, I, [name omitted] an American citizen engaged the online services of the the following website: http://criminalbackgroundrecords.com whose parent company is identified as INFORMATION ENTERPRISES, INC. I purchased a Colorado instant background check on myself for $24.95 USD using Paypal to pay them.

The following entry is from a guest submission who has asked to remain anonymous:
Towards the end of last year, I was involved in a few flings.

In tourism Thailand–from the grimes of Kao Sarn road to the sleeze of Patpong, Pattaya and Patong–you’re certain to run into public drunks staggering around with an open bottle in hand. Foreign holidayers and some misguided expats have mistaken the streets of Thailand for some hippie festival–a 365 day/24 hour party. Mindful locals and expats who have either inherited wise common sense or have earned it with a hard lesson of bad experience know better. Every now and then, an incident happens which reminds us of what not to do. The following report is of a Thai who had to fatally learn the hard way. Unfortunately for him, there will be no second chance.
