Probably a legend.

But, don't ever make fun of the king and queen.

One of his top aides once called him "skipper" in public when he was wearing a captain's cap on a boat. He nearly lost his job, it was very humiliating.

And in theatres, you best stand at the start of the film when they play the national anthem.

Thailand is odd, women can't dance nude in a bar, yet, you can purchase them from the bartender for the night.

That and elephants walking down the streets in Bangkok make it a surreal place.

I love it, I usually hang at Cheap Charlie's, a "bar" consisting of a 10 foot long by 3 foot deep bar in a parking lot against a building. Cheap beer and always about 50 expats there every night.

On Suk Soi 11, yes?

Looked for it last time I was there (staying at the Grand Prez), but couldn't spot it for some reason.

We ended up in that German beer garden presumably nearby, but not my taste.
