Ok, so I haven’t posted for a long time. I’m going to blame the farangs. Basically, some farang at work (my boss) decided that not only would it be better for me to arrive at work an hour earlier in the morning but that I should also work on saturdays too. This particularly sucks because I only earn about 20 000 baht as it is, and I will not be getting any more money despite working more hours.

Anyway, we’ve had some great news today. Immigration is going to make it harder for farangs to stay here without proper visas. Hopefully this will put an end to the eternal tourist problem where they just hop across the Cambodia border every month to get a new visa. This will mean that we might actually be able to use Sukhimvit between sois 4 - 40 after 5pm without feeling embarassed or like whores! Woohoo! I am used to taking the BTS that extra station just to avoid getting off at Nana!

So does this mean the end of the depressing sight of Esarn girls walking hand in hand with fat, bald men who are three times their age? Probably not - but it might mean the guy is wearing a nicer shirt than before rather than the hawaii travel shirts and sandals that seem to be the uniform of the farang sexpat community.

Expect more ranting about farangs very soon.
