Alphabet People, ‘Ya Ice,’ and Wanton Penetration: A Bangkok Story as Old as Time

December 25, 2025 by Ben BarteeLeave a Comment

Originally published via Armageddon Safari: Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing on modern Bangkok. Via Bangkok Post (emphasis added): “Forty-four men, many wearing only underwear and testing positive for illicit substances, were arrested during a raid on an illegal drug party early Saturday in Bangkok’s Wang Thonglang district. The operation, led by the Metropolitan Police Bureau, took place around 1.30am at a three-storey building on Soi … [Read more...]

The Low-Trust Society and Hard-Earned Expat Insights

December 15, 2025 by Ben BarteeLeave a Comment

Originally published via Armageddon Safari: I recently stumbled upon a true gem of an X post from @kunley_drukpa — not necessarily a ringing endorsement of expat life in India, but an expert treatise on the “low trust society” that rings all too true for anyone with experience in the Third World. A small excerpt: “A few years ago now I spent some time in India. One of the more lasting impressions I have from that period was the degree to … [Read more...]

The Backseat Butcher of Bangkok: Busted!

November 20, 2025 by Ben BarteeLeave a Comment

Originally published via Armageddon Safari: Sometimes stereotypes hold true. Case in point: Asian men do indeed, as a rule of thumb, as anyone who has watched Japanese pornography may have noticed, tend to have smaller-than-average packages compared to those of the European persuasion and definitely pitted against the Africans. (I discuss issues related to the phallus in the context of living in East Asia as an expat extensively in my … [Read more...]

On the Third World’s Insatiable Appetite For Hollow Consumerism

November 15, 2025 by Ben BarteeLeave a Comment

Originally published via Armageddon Safari: "Have you beauty, that leads the heart from things fashioned of wood and stone to the holy mountain? Tell me, have you these in your houses? Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and becomes a host, and then a master?" -Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet Of all the cancerous cultural exports America has inflicted upon the unsuspecting innocents … [Read more...]

What Makes Heritage Tourism in Uganda Unique

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Heritage tourism is an un-sounding topic in Uganda’s tourism sector as it is concealed in the dark. Nobody says anything about but it could also be an amazing venture for income generation especially for the government, Uganda safari companies and other service providers. Famous for her beauties such as wildlife and amazing landscapes, the Pearl od Africa is full of extra ordinary people, with different lifestyles, customs and backgrounds. It … [Read more...]

America’s national, September and October

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Forget the summer gridlock. The real story of America's national parks is told in September and October, during the "secret season." This is when the crowds disappear, the weather is perfect and the landscapes transform. The post-Labor Day slump is a traveler's dream. With schools back in session, parks like Zion, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon are no longer at peak capacity. This means a more intimate and enjoyable experience. The intense … [Read more...]

Naughty (Non-Consensual) Bangkok Subway Upskirt Pics in Authorities’ Crosshairs

September 5, 2025 by Ben BarteeLeave a Comment

Originally published via Armageddon Safari: At the Thailand Cultural Center MRT, recently, next to the standard no-durian infographic — the king of fruit’s smell comes off as obscene to many people and is therefore banned from public transport and hotel rooms — there sat a new addition to the list of prohibited substances and activities on the subway: upskirt pics, later to be uploaded and monetized on some shady dark corner of the web. The … [Read more...]
