Being here in the wilderness of British Columbia until late August gives one good reason to on occasion immerse oneself in a little sad/happy/syrupy Thai remembrances.
Nothing better to help that along than some Thai music (good old YouTube) which, it turns out, is ~ for me ~ as evocative as one gets so far away (the only exception being the Beloved's emails or phone calls).
Sawatdee's a bit dullsville these days (whining about VENUE, Lumsden's botox [Does he Doesn't he?], raging Pedos, etc etc etc), and frankly, makes me glad that when I do arrive back home that it won't be accompanied by a stopover in Pattaya ... as inbred and bitch-filled as shitsville seems to be getting.
So instead of that, it sure is nice to put on the earphones and indulge in some dreamy tacky love songs from the newly planted rice paddies of Isaan . . . a night out at Look Nam . . . or a parking lot for 'local colour' in Bangkok.

Lots more available on YouTube now than there used to be just a few years ago. Enjoy.
