Okay, so when I first heard about this I was thinking someone really needs to do something about the organized bus tour crowd ‘cuz the idea of visiting 9 wats in Bangkok in 1 day is a bit much. Even for a wataholic like me. And before you quit rolling your eyes, yes, several tour companies actually offer this amazing way to not really see anything of Bangkok. But it turns out this is a well-known merit making activity popular among the locals especially during the New Year period. The official Amazing Race approach to temple touring offers a list of wats to do here, and a bit more about the custom is explained here. I wonder if you do the whole thing by tuk tuk if you gain extra merit?

Someone is finally making safe sex the responsibility of those to whom the job should fall: bottoms. I think that this Anal Condom is brought to you by the same people who offer the Oragami Condom I told ya about a few weeks ago should worry me.

I always assumed the reason why some gay guys pay for sex ultimately had to do with ass. Nice to see a formula that proves my point.

Along with a nicely detailed monthly death toll The Chiang Rai Times reports Thailand is dangerous for tourists, advising that if you are mentally unwell and you are staying in a high rise building and plan on getting drunk, then your holiday could be a recipe for disaster. Gee and all we get is FOX News in the States.

Closer to home, this mundane event you perform first thing in the morning and several more times throughout each day is responsible for more personal injuries than are the balconies of high-rise buildings in Thailand.

Usually bloggers offering Off The Beaten Path tips and the word on unheard of places are more about hype than they are about helping you discover something new. Even my favorite blogger posing as a message board owner, Jabba The Butt, recently tried getting in on the act with the amazing news that you can buy plants and fish for your aquarium at Bangkok’s Weekend Market. But The Best Bangkok Markets You’ve Never Heard Of, while short, actually mentioned two night markets I wasn’t aware of. And I loves me my street markets.

Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All Queer: I usually link to websites about Thailand, dick, naked male flesh (which I guess is still about dick), or the Olympics (um, ditto on the dick thing once again) in my End of the Week posts, but with the reemergence of SGT’s old cast of characters the subject of internet trolls has got my attention and Google has been educamating me on the phenomenon. For example, did you know what are referred to as Hydras on the gay Thailand forums are called sock puppets elsewhere? I only mention that because the mental picture of an angry old man beating off into an argyle sock is what comes to mind whenever I read a post by ScottishGuy. But more on point, none of the flock is original and someone has always done their tired act better before. Is This Money-Obsessed Teen The World’s Worst Internet Troll? is an article about one troll who sounds way too familiar. Is it possible we are finally seeing a photo of Beachball?
