Karn.TV Cartoons: Flooding in Thailand

Karn.TV Cartoons: Flooding in Thailand

Karn.TV Cartoons: Flooding in Thailand… During the past few weeks, Thailand’s 50 Million Blue Whales Flooding Bangkok were a big YouTube hit for Thais and students of the Thai language. Today I found Karn.TV’s cartoon offer… There are three more flood videos (just follow along on YouTube). Note: To keep up with the flood news [...]

Thailand's 50 Million Blue Whales Flood Bangkok

Thailand’s 50 Million Blue Whales Flood Bangkok

Thailand has 50 million blue whales flooding Bangkok… Obviously, there are not 50 million blue whales flooding Bangkok. Not even one. And the flood is not only about Bangkok. But as bonkers as 50 million whales flooding Bangkok sounds, the contradicting flood information bombarding us daily seems just as wacky. Anyway. This post is for [...]

Thailand, Please Bring Back the Bare Breasted Ladies of Songkran

Thailand’s bare breasted women… I like boobs. And as I have a comfy pair of my own, I’m fairly confident in saying that. But this weekend Thailand went all aflutter when, like Songkrans of yore, three Thai ladies bared their breasts during the festivities on Silom Road. Within a short time a video was uploaded [...]

February: Look Who’s Talking About Learning Thai

Who’s talking about learning Thai… Gawd, am I late with this post, or what? I have no real excuse except for a back-to-back life, and playing catchup to that back-to-back life. How’s that?

Andrew Biggs on Twitter and Facebook

Who is Andrew Biggs?… Andrew Biggs, the coolest bald guy in Thailand, is one of those long-time expat curiosities that a chunk of Thai learners know next to nothing about. A part of the reason is because Andrew does not market his talents to expats (he’s an all Thai sort of guy). And (taking a [...]

Staying Safe in Thailand: Streetwise Advice + Twitter

What’s going on with Thai politics… Some westerners in Thailand see the Red Shirts as an inconvenient pain in the butt (but so are volcanoes). Others feel that the Red Shirts have a valid point (a number of Pink Shirts believe that too). To top it off, knowledgeable expats plugged into the mainstream of Thai [...]
