Street Hassle, utterly brilliant.
Yes bowie I have witnessed the street hassle being played out on my soi. A husband having to give his yaba thieving prostitute mrs a good kicking for the benefit of the locals, he was told if he didnt give her a good kicking he would get one as well.
A friend who was locked up and lucky to escape with his life prior to Thaksins war on drugs, if he had still been on the soi its doubtful he would still be alive today.
Yaba the scourge of modern day Thailand and elsewhere.

Side note, เมายาบ้า mao yaa baa is a term I never heard years ago. Was sat outside some sorry shop a few weeks ago, a couple of teenagers floated in, the owner told them to p**s off. Mao yaa baa.

I am not sure we are on the same page. I was up front in my writing. What exists cannot be wiped out by killing. I would have been the first victim and what would that have achieved. No, a culture and a way of life. You might want to pretend to be outside it, as you are powerless. Touch of Kipling/Dickens. If you were in Britain, then yes you can act, influence. Here no. Those close to me understand, the closest my wife and her father. There is a system and it has a culture. We will never understand it. If we do, then we are in danger. I have my own child, I am careful, unlike how I was in England. Shout from the roof tops, be Warhol, Lou Reed why not, lady boys abound. Do you think Thai are ready for Voltaire?

Now let's put that in plain speak. I am a farang, I extend my visa each year. I report every ninety days. I keep my mouth shut. Load on your records rgs, because they speak of why we are cowards here.

Thaksin and a good kicking? Who runs the show? How long have you lived here? Who do you know? Give the names to those in power. Try it!

Load on your records rgs, because they speak of why we are cowards here. yes been there done that. no coward here, MY MRS cant wait to get out of here. We will be departing shortly, what a bastard having the audacity to leave. I kept my mouth shut, I played the game. Cowards no more, leaving for a better place. I bow down to no man, yes at times it has been my downfall, but I walked with head held high. Oh, we cant find your records. What records would that be? The records that tell us how to do the job. My records are held in my head, do you want to renegotiate the contract. You were a kant rgs, you shredded everything, sorry boss, you are the one who approved it. Been there done that.

Yes records, also known as plastic brains, with formulae for working out thrust/rpm.
Shouted it down my soi, no one listened.
Yes on my way to a better place.
Options old chap options, always have a back up plan.
Cant wait to get to Blackpool for a month or two, then off to St Andrews live like a pikey in a caravan, the mrs loves it.

Can I change Voltaire, I would rather that he spoke the truth and die.
Or Rabbie Burns
To see the world as others see it.
Have fun.

I've tried most things over the years...not for a long time now mind you.
Yaba is a filthy and destructive drug with no real redeeming feature.
Horrible stuff that I find difficult to comprehend people becoming addicted to.
A spliff, good Amsterdam coffee and a breakfast of scrambled eggs, ham and old cheese is a whole different ball game!
