The week that was in Thailand News: Monks behaving badly – what a load of cobras

post-247607-0-88278400-1465041385_thumb.

It was certainly a bad week for some slithery, venomous and dangerous creatures – and though snakes were certainly in the news it is regrettable to report that this could also refer to many men in saffron robes who hit the headlines.

A sleepy little fishing village … where?

Orlando Barton

post-245411-0-72562800-1465085388_thumb.

If you’ve ever met any old-timers in Pattaya, it’s interesting to hear them talk about “the old days”. My Uncle was in the US Air Force stationed at Utapao Air Base just south of Pattaya during the Vietnam Conflict. I’ve got old 35mm slides from 1968 showing people riding horses on a pristine, natural and deserted Pattaya Beach.

Thank you my dear Thai taxi drivers

post-245411-0-54001200-1465086725_thumb.

Many people talk about “taxi Thai” by which they mean a reasonably poor level of Thai language sufficient to get you from A to B and perhaps say thanks or slow down.

Pushing a buggy on the pavements of Krung Thep

post-245411-0-07053000-1465087489_thumb.

When my daughter was born I was lucky to have plenty of free time having recently quit a job I had done for years. I decided that one of the best things I could do was take her out for an hour or two each day in her buggy. I would get exercise and surely we could find some fun places to visit in the Ratchayothin area within walking distance.

Tiger temple scandal exposes the shadowy billion-dollar Asian trade

A week ago it cost 600 baht (£11.50) to visit the tiger temple in Thailand’s Kanchanaburi province, west of the capital, Bangkok. Tourists moved by the spectacle of such splendid creatures living side by side with human beings could also pay the saffron-robed Buddhist monks an extra £15 to help feed the cubs, or to have their picture taken with an adult tiger’s head resting on their lap.
