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

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...]

Vino Voyage: A European Adventure

June 1, 2025 by Dave2 Comments

Before I left on my latest trip to Europe, I randomly sent a WhatsApp message to one of my travel blogger friends, Isabel from Bel Around the World. It turns out she was in London finishing up her travels in Europe before heading down to Thailand to speak at TBEX. She met my friend and I at LHR as soon as we landed - and then we were off on a whirlwind nearly 3-day road trip of the countryside outside of London. Our first stop was Wrotham, the … [Read more...]

The Last Khon Dancer of Bangkok: Preserving a Dying Thai Art Form

May 17, 2025 by Sally CatiloLeave a Comment

In a busy alleyway behind Bangkok's Grand Palace, the distant sound of piphat music played in classical style drifts through the morning air. In a simple rehearsal room, a lone figure stretches, clothed in elaborate garb, and fastens on a golden mask with tender respect. He is Master Prasert — considered by many to be the last traditionally trained Khon dancer in Bangkok who continues to perform and teach full-time. As Thailand hurtles into the … [Read more...]

This blog will follow my chaotic trip from Bangkok to Phnom Penh, along with some advice and tricks. I was informed that I could not extend my visa anymore, only a night … [Read more...]
