Bad Company Names in Asia (part 2323)

It’s quite possible this is an alternate spelling of “Nick.” But somebody should talk to them about it. Maybe their website is a bit more low key? Nope.

Shoutout to Korea Blogs

A friend has asked me to point out some good Korea-related blogs in English. Cosmic Buddha is a fairly avid reader of Korea blogs. My interest stems from KAL stopovers…

    The Green VIP Party Bus

    May 30, 2024 /

    We just came back from a back-to-back four day trip to Pattaya and 8 day trip to Japan. I will try and document some of it here. The Pattaya trip was a 40-person corporate trip for my cousin’s company in Japan that Nam and I organized; it turned out well. It all started out with a double-decker bus we chartered to pick up the group at BKK. It was a pretty awesome setup and the driver, Noi, was very cool.

    65 baht plate lunch

    May 5, 2024 /

    This was at the very end of last year. This cafeteria-type place near our friend’s bakery (the legendary Sang-R-Thit) has since closed down, but it was good while it lasted. This plate was pork panang and long bean stir fry with an egg from khai palo (five spice stewed pork belly and hard boiled eggs). All together about $1.75 US. The food at this place was pretty good, especially at those prices.

    Hot like the hell

    April 27, 2024 /

    A student told me it was hot like the hell the other day, and I’m not inclined to disagree. The temp is reaching 43°C (109.4°F) pretty much all week, and we just hide from the sun all day, be it at home or at the nearby mall, or somewhere with good AC. I still walk every day at dusk, and I long for even slightly cooler days. These were taken back in November of last year. This is actually a flooded parking lot (the water was about a foot deep) that has been completely dry for the past few months. It is extremely dry this year, and hotter than usual.…

    Alcohol is not a Crime in Thonglor

    April 17, 2024 /

    Mina and I saw this place from the mall across the street and wanted to go thrifting. After talking about it in the mall for a couple hours, she looked it up and it turned out to be a bar, which was pretty disappointing. In retrospect, the RED HOT POLE DANCE STRIPPER advertised in the window may have been a clue.
