Walking to Panthip the other day and saw a pretty sad looking sight -a fat farang bird with blonde hair trying to play a flute on the overpass before the entrance. I'm wondering how the ###### can someone look so pathetic and also not seem to be bothered about it in the slightest. A disgrace to the farang race !

PS: For some reason or other she had sweet FA in her hat

Live and let live

Very apt avatar, Joseph. Watch out, the farang kee nok are out to get you, and everyone else is involved too. Act before it's too late!!

You should have stolen the hat.

What sort of flute was she playing?

She won't get away with that for long

Does anybody remember the juggler in Siam Square years ago?

Maybe someone whould have pointed out that she would have earnt more blowing on something else.......

mbkuku:

Was he a sort of skinny guy with dark brown wavey shoulder length hair ?

It's hard for me to recall but I do remember he was quite skinny and pale. He was really funny too; making everybody laugh like crazy.

Just wondering; is selling sexual services one of the professions closed to foreigners in Thailand?

Hmmm...I might have seen this guy on Similan island a few years ago.

and for your point #2: naah, think of the russians (cos i can't spell uzbekikikikistan)

surely a member of the duck thai family

You should have stolen the hat.

and the flute

What sort of flute was she playing? 

Skin flute?

Maybe she was a traveling menstrual as well.

The worst part of it all is that he probably earns a decent living from it!

Why did she look pathetic?

Maybe she was a student who had had her money stolen. Or maybe she heard through other students it was "cool".

I don't know if you are thai or western, but if a Thai was on the street in a European city, then my guess is another Thai would stop and help, probably feed and clothe. And if I saw another Westerner here who was genuinely in need of help, then I would help.

Did you think to stop and ask why she was "degrading" herself??

That's what Embassies are for.

She could carry a tune though...

Strange sight indeed. I was once walking along in Calcutta. It was a dark evening around sunset, the sky was full of huge black clouds, the air was thick and humid, the lane (soi) was crowded with people, a sea of dark faces all staring at me, rats ran all over the place, piles of rubbish actually moved as I walked by (it was a man lying among it)......generally it was a very very wierd. Until I looked up and right in front of me was a rickshaw walla pulling a rickshaw. Seated inthe rickshaw was a full on middle aged farang drag queen dressed to the nines ........ I had to lift my jaw from the blackenned earth under foot as he/she went past and the sea of people parted and stared in amazement at this incredible sight ! Will never forget that ! Minutes later all was back to normal........
