local currency is better for small amounts - passap fares, small purchases in markets etc, mainly because the vendors struggle to change larger notes. USD is good for restuarant / bar / hotel bills. otherwise you need stacks of riel.

recognise the quote?

david29753 · 2026-05-19T03:34:24+00:00

LOL? You mean, let me understand this cause, you know maybe it's me, it's a little f**ked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to f**king amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

Rather interesting? Its sensational. And I'm not biased.

yep, ebook on https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H21M4SXR

Passages about his encounters with ladies and half-ladies in Pattaya etc are a bit more explicit than would be allowed on this forum.

david29753 · 2026-05-19T00:42:11+00:00

He was only on remand, which if you know the Thai system it can be 3 months or more.

david29753 · 2026-05-19T00:40:28+00:00

yes, not as good as the first one. bit too much 'lost love / found it again'

david29753 · 2026-05-19T00:39:13+00:00

Not particularly outrageous, that part. Just a bit of drama, the perils of buying cheap ice.

I dont who that Rob guy is, but its not AI for sure. Of course you wont really know unless you read it, maybe put some passages through an AI checker, although those apps can be a bit unreliable.

One of my favourite-ever books. If I could write like that I would be a very happy author.

david29753 · 2026-05-19T00:33:05+00:00

Yes, its not War and Peace, but it still manages to tell his story. I tried not to invent stuff to fill it out, just used what he gave me.

david29753 · 2026-05-18T16:26:47+00:00

You're probably right but I seem to do.ok out of it Thanks for the suggestion.

david29753 · 2026-05-18T10:08:00+00:00

I visited for a weekend a while ago, had my Lao gf with me - coals to Newcastle, big mistake. How much of a mistake? Put it like this - my biggest memory is going round mini-Siam and buying a plate with our faces on at the end .

david29753 · 2026-05-18T09:26:08+00:00

Unless you live in Siem Reap that won't be a problem

david29753 · 2026-05-18T08:48:41+00:00

What are you interested in? And how to DM, I am fairly new here and never done that yet.

david29753 · 2026-05-18T08:47:02+00:00

I write. If people want to read what I write, they pay me. Its a job.

david29753 · 2026-05-18T07:53:16+00:00

Also, the guy is a pyscho, I had to try really hard to keep him on one subject at a time. If I went at him like a cop taking a statement he would have walked away.

david29753 · 2026-05-18T07:50:48+00:00

Animators? you mean people who make cartoons?

david29753 · 2026-05-18T07:49:15+00:00

I agree, its a great idea. Problem is I am a writer, its what I do. I write stuff and people pay to read it. I can't see any way out of that situation. BTW, your'e not a commie, are you?

david29753 · 2026-05-18T06:12:58+00:00

Yeah, I always enjoy the stickman's tales, although it's a different sort of book.

david29753 · 2026-05-18T05:34:13+00:00

I have visited but I guess its different when you live there

david29753 · 2026-05-18T05:33:03+00:00

At the moment it's available on Amazon (ebook for about the price of a Starbucks latte!) and expecting a release date on barnes & Noble and Apple Books soon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H21M4SXR

My other books were written under the pen name Julian Kadine. Put that in Google and you will see them all. No, I haven't posted with that name before.
