I love this. Matt Harding traveled around the world for 14 months, filming himself doing the same dance in 42 countries. Something about this made me cry with laughter. Thanks to Arjun for the link.

From the Daily Mail:
In articles published on 23 and 26 May 2008, we gave the impression that Mr Gest had contracted a sexually transmitted infection and alleged that he had Liza Minnelli’s dog killed without her knowledge.
This was wrong. David Gest has never had a sexually transmitted infection and did not have Ms Minnelli’s dog [...]

Yesterday evening, more than 40 killer whales reportedly beached themselves on the small island Koh Racha, off the south coast of Phuket. One of them died apparently. Villagers informed the authorities at about 6 pm last night. (KomChadLuek)
I’ve never heard of such an event occurring around Phuket. Hopefully there will be some pictures online soon. [...]

It came to light last week that the Kampang School in Northeastern Thailand has introduced “transvestite toilets” for male students who choose to dress as females. The story has been picked up by several major news agencies, including AP and the Guardian.
There are reportedly 200 cross-dressing male students at the Kampang School, many of [...]

An English secondary school has banned its students from drinking Red Bull because it affects students’ behavior. Apparently, students at Chatsmore Catholic High Secondary School in West Sussex have been acting strangely after consuming the high-caffeine drink.
There’s no word exactly how it has been affecting students’ behavior, but Red Bull is being treated as if [...]

I’m getting a kick out of some of the things I’ve read today. Remember a couple of weeks ago when photos were snapped of an uncontacted tribe in Brazil? One Internet user had this to say about the matter:
Actually, to be honest, I think I’m more amazed at the color of the people. I know [...]

A freelance writer in Thailand emailed a resort that he was writing a story about. Unsure of how to get to there, the writer asked for the resort’s location. “Where on earth is it?” were his exact words. The reply came back as follows:
Dear [Mr Writer],
Herewith location on earth as follows:
Latitude = 8º 76′ 37.25″ [...]

In an attempt to lighten up the fiery debate that has been going as a result of this post, I thought I’d bring you the touching news of a baby who will perhaps regret the day he was discovered in the back of a pickup truck.
A doctor found the baby in the back of a [...]

The Internet is a dangerous resource. It gives anyone with a phone line access to a wealth of technology that can then be used to do the most bizarre things. If you’ve ever been to Pattaya, then you will know that the city attracts its fair share of oddballs. I have been to Pattaya a [...]

I first heard about this story a couple of weeks ago. You may have seen it covered by Kom Chad Luek or on Channel 3.
A guy in Phen district, Udon Thani, named Sathian Khenkutrang married his pet python because he believes that the two were lovers in a past life. Sathien was, apparently, a bodyguard [...]

The Bangkok Post ran an unusual story today about a guy in Phetchaburi who has harnessed the power of the sun to cook chickens. He roasts whole chickens with sunlight reflected by an enormous wall of small mirrors.
Sila Sutharat found the inspiration for this brainwave from when, as a child, he would use a magnifying [...]

I’m usually not keen on poking fun at Thinglish for the sake of it, but in the world of real estate and high-end hospitality, where multi-million baht firms are trying to sell hotel rooms, condos and houses, specifically to foreigners, there really is no excuse for not paying someone with half a brain a couple [...]

My girlfriend told me this story. A Bangkok-based friend of my girlfriend’s once went to Chatuchak weekend market with the intention of buying a puppy. She found the perfect pup, a black-and-white dog that melted her heart with how adorable it looked.
She bought the puppy for about 5,000 baht and took it home. It wasn’t [...]

I grew up in the Southwest of England and had what I consider a normal accent until I went to university in Sheffield and acquired something like a Brummie accent. Since moving to Thailand, I’ve completely lost my voice.
After listening to my voice on a Dictaphone, I think I speak with a kind of muddled [...]
