Why travel to Thailand? Well, there’s many good reasons. And one reason in particular that I notice over and over in my travels around Southern Thailand is what I call the ‘beautiful friendliness’ of the Thai people. It sure is an amazing gift. Of course, not everyone is warm and welcoming, but generally speaking, I’m [...]

Real life Thailand models?
Of course…
Hey…
We’re done. That’s…
…4 hours of power blogging, completed…
Did you like it?
Did you sign up to my ezine?
You can… it’s easy… just go here > Thai girl Thai life ezine

It’s all in fun.
I want to bring across the essence of fun, relaxation, enjoyment.
And remember what this blogathon was for…
To raise awareness about [...]

I can’t really generalize and say every Thai person is friendly.
But, it sure does feel like that sometimes.
It rubs off on you.
It’s definitely something in the water.
Hippy blissful? Maybe. Certainly warm and welcoming…
They’ve grown up smiling. It’s contagious.
Almost as contagious as blogging non stop for four hours…
And, I like the tropics… everything just [...]

Would you consider retirement Thailand?
You’d have to seriously consider all aspects to it…
Thailand has a lot of good things going for it.
Some great resorts, a relaxed lifestyle, healthy food.
Charming people.
Low cost of living.
Can be very hot (tropical) and stormy.
The question really is…
Where would you live?
Go beach, or go mountain.
Or go inland…
Food for thought…
.

Thailand living costs:
Simple quick meal @ local shop 30 baht  (0.94 US)
Mama noodles (one pack fills you up) 5 baht (O.16 US)
(Not exactly nutritious though…
Fill tank petrol on motorcycle (150cc) 200 baht ($6.24 US)
Internet high speed broadband one month 700 baht ($21.84 US)
House rental depends on what you want. Average Thai,
about 2000 baht [...]

Man, the time moves fast when you’re having fun…
You’ve taken a few breaths and it’s time to post again.
That’s the beauty of it I guess…
I’m starting to think about… some sort of sponsorship…
just an idea… for Thai people I know…
They could really do with some practical ideas to make
money… and online seems like the way [...]

Let’s face it. It’s a noisy country. Incredibly laid back. No one seems particularly bothered by anything in particular…
I’d like to talk about world events with the Thai people I meet, but hardly ever do so. That might be me. Or just this culture.
And indeed it is loud. The lifestyle is loud. The people can [...]

How about this…
On September 15th, 2007 I will…
Post a note to this blog - and then keep posting a new
message every 30 minutes… for the next 4 hours.
What’s the MINI-Blogathon and why blog for four hours straight?
No. 1: I never do anything like this, so it’s probably a good time to start.
No. 2: To raise [...]

I’ve been spending a good deal of time with this great Thai girl who’s quite fond of saying the word “hot.” (In Thai, of course).
Now, I think she’s talking about herself being hot. As in, right now “I need to relax because I’m feeling hot.” Or, maybe the weather’s hot.
Whatever it is, it’s hot.
It’s funny. [...]

What are we to do about this, friends?
Has YouTube been lost forever?
What does that little bit of Thai say and mean?
Why can’t we see YouTube?
Did I do something incredibly wrong?
What happened to the retirement Thailand party?
Do they know that some of us use YouTube for our business?
Yes, this is what happens when you try to [...]

I’ve been asking nearly every Thai girl I’ve met to teach me Thai.
Now, truth be told, perhaps I don’t really need to be taught Thai in so far as I already know it quite well. But there’s always words I want to learn, and always learning going on.

But I’ve noticed something. They kind of never [...]

Ok, observe this little 3 wheeled monster in green. This is what we call a tuk tuk. Also known as a Samlor. They remind me of the style of a 2nd WW aeroplane mixed with a locomotive, and throw a helicopter in as well. Why not?
Can you appreciate the wonders of Thailand culture, Thailand lifestyle..?
You [...]

Hi again. Straight out of southern Thailand. Little town called Trang. Now where were we? Ok that’s right, we were moving to a new home, a new blog. The beauty of Wordpress… is not without its huge learning curve, and employing a few coders to make the thing work.
My friend is at work on a [...]

Thailand Culture, and the world of The White Ape.
Man, it’s been a busy week.
As you’d know, on this Photo Blog you can learn more about the Life of a westerner in Southern Thailand. That’s me.
I’m sure to expand on these topics:
Thailand life… Thailand lifestyle, culture, Thailand girls…
And, see the Thailand map..? Yes… It’s Thailand.
See the [...]

Thailand culture…
That’s right. Just observe. Take notes.
Fascinating eh?
Don’t tell me… you want to come and live here too, right?

Well you can. It’s easy. Thailand is still the friendly country. It’s as crazy as it always has been.
Hey! Let nothing put you off from living your dreams…
Unseen in Thailand…
That’s all folks…
The White Ape Goes Nuts

I think there’s only thing that can save me. And this blog.
From being nuked.
And that is… I need to make serious online money. Not little fluffy bits of green paper, but substantial moula.
You know what I’m talking about, right?
With more cash I can truly explore more, be more creative and be more comfortable. Of [...]

Here in southern Thailand things are different.
Just like every new country you travel to, right…?

I was chancing out on a small journey and I came across these…
…superb, unusually modified, handmade choppers…
Radical eh.

This is the type of thing you find hidden away down here in Trang, southern Thailand. I myself wouldn’t choose this type of transport, [...]

Thailand culture… mixed with internet income = Freedom baby!

Hi again. This is me sitting in my studio, holding my first affiliate check. Why am I doing this? Because I want to show you that it is possible to operate an online business (and make money) anywhere with an internet connection…
Even right down here in Trang, [...]
