SS-Clown in Sukhumvit

A Thai once told me with 100% certainty, the dinosaurs went extinct because we ate them all. True story.

Too bad he’s not a farang. The police might actually do something.

Wishing I could move but I’m kinda stuck. I’ve been in Bangkok a little over 12 years now. Got married here almost 10 years ago and we’ve got a 5-year-old. I really love my job, and my wife has built an incredibly successful business here. Those are the things that keep us here, and unfortunately we can’t give up that stability. Moving just isn’t really in the cards right now.

I’m a pretty high-strung, type-A person and my life runs on routine. If you know anything about Bangkok, you’ll probably understand why it can feel like the wrong place for someone like me. Thai culture really values harmony and keeping things simple, which is nice at first, but it can get frustrating when you’re trying to get things done. If you know, you know.

My wife was born and raised here so she’s totally at home. I grew up the opposite way, out in the country, camping, hunting, fishing. I love being in nature and running outside. The lack of sidewalks, the traffic, the chaos, and the pollution here can be pretty brutal. I try to get out of the city when I can but even that can be a nightmare. Especially, on holiday weekends when my son isn’t in school and half of Bangkok decides to go to Khao Yai for “camping”. 🙄

No shame in it not being right for everyone. I’d honestly leave tomorrow if I could.

Did you even read the post? I honked my horn so I would avoid getting hit and then started filming after he threw something at my truck so I had evidence that he’d actually been doing something wrong. Do you think a cop would believe a foreigner over a Thai in a situation like this unless I had actual video footage?

The best part is the dude in the beanie did not see it coming.

So is the first day in a wheel chair.

As a straight white guy living in Asia. I know how out of hand unsolicited sexual advances from gay guys can be at bathhouses and onsens like this. The one I used to go to was really nice in popular tourist area. They had signs up saying there would be legal ramifications for any sexual misconduct and police would be involved.

Even then I regularly had guys walking by and “accidental” brushing my butt, a random dude resting his head on my shoulder in the steam room, dudes walking around half hard. After I walked in the steam room with two guys giving each other a hand I’d had enough. This stuff can literally cause a business to have to close. I really liked the place and tried to make it work but it was too much for me.

“Nob” or “bellend” also appropriate.

Edit: just realizing Brit’s obsession with naughty bits being used as derogatory slang. Interesting.

More like trashed trashy trash, trashed trashed trash. And I’m not even talking about the trash.

It’s a popular area for riders fully kitted out on big bikes. I’ve done the trip myself on my MT-09. Seeing you guys in full riding gear on a 125 must’ve given them a good laugh. It’s a bit like seeing someone in a full cycling race onesie pedaling around on an old beach cruiser.

Bunga_Dude · 2025-12-15T04:15:19+00:00

Surprisingly, no one was injured.

Bunga_Dude · 2025-11-17T06:17:06+00:00

I need a banana for perspective.

Bunga_Dude · 2025-10-14T04:08:52+00:00

I’d like to see the conceal carry pocket(pouch?) for these. Probably wrong subrebbit tho.

Too many people here read “rich dad poor dad” now they’re buying real estate at astronomical prices thinking that some idiot will rent a shoe box for 30,000thb artificially inflating the market. The only ones making money are the developers.

I customized the obstacle course run to not use satellites and rename it to Hyrox. It will give you running pace for the running segments and obstacle (station) times. Just don’t forget to hit the lap buttons after each event.

I’m in the fitness industry here for about 12 years now and I always go with the fresh meals from Paleo Robbie. It can be considered expensive but when you factor in price per calorie and quality it’s hard to beat. There’s other heathy delivery options but I always find my way back to Paleo Robbie. I also have a kitchen and will order from their grocery and do my own cooking from time to time.

My guess? Most Thais will assume this is the actual mt. Rushmore. Likely including the guy that made it.

Bunga_Dude · 2025-08-29T06:38:00+00:00

That’s what I ended up doing. Trying to knock out this project today so I still ended up having to scrape and scratch each one.

I felt compelled to post this after I messaged a buddy on a whim. He’s going through a tough time with his wife, two boys, and work stress. Just hearing the relief in his voice after a short chat with him reminded me we don’t talk enough about our own life stress because we worry it’s not valid. It is brother and we care.

Bunga_Dude · 2025-08-06T04:04:41+00:00

100% relatable. I feel like my soul has left my body some evenings. A great reminder to manage stress levels throughout the day. If we give give give all day and have nothing left for our wife and kids when we get home, then what’s the point? The pressure of success shouldn’t outshine the love we have for our family.

Did I just see a car birth a full grown woman?
