From this week's Stickman - oh how true. "One of the curiosities of Isaan is that while you see many, many pretty, single women - and many of these women aren't shy in saying hello to Westerners, even if you're obviously a tourist in town for just a day or two, just why is it that the Western residents of these towns so often have ugly girlfriends or wives?" Sometimes I sit in Soi 4 bars and see some Westerner roll up with a boy he's obviously been spending some time with, and think "Where's the local optometrist?"
