Mara Altman In Bangkok: Still Hasn’t Orgasmed

Meet Mara Altman: Most recently a feature writer in Bangkok for the International Herald Tribune, who went back to the US to work for The Village Voice.

While in Bangkok, she referred to her vagina as “down there,” – and still hadn’t orgasmed.

“Sexually,” she writes, “I regressed in Bangkok” – and: “Every girl is so tiny here.” Wrote a commentator: “It just seems so wrong that there are no orgasms in a book that involves Bangkok.”

Thailand Goes Pure

It’s the beautiful season in the Kingdom again. Cooler nights and beer gardens swarming with happily laughing people. People fall in love this season, less suicides do occur.

It is so nice outside, you may even have a walk under the bright sun – and you’re not even sweating! Welcome to Thailand in December.

But this December is somehow worse than ever. It is a very dry December – at two weekends it is to say: Thailand has to go dry.

Bangkok’s Gateway To God

It’s one of the most unique places in Bangkok, if not in the whole world.

Countless reviews have been written about it – the place is old snow from yesteryear. And BangkokDan still can’t get enough of it: The Sky Bar on State Tower. A bar you won’t find anywhere else.

Yes yes, you’ve all been there and the place exists since years. But each time you venture there anew it’s as if you reinvent Bangkok again. And again.

The Tourist, Thy F(r)iend!

Sometimes you wonder as a foreigner in Thailand: Can I ever be a friend of the beautiful people here? Or am I doomed to be their fiend?

However good you master the Thai language, how Thai you may become: Aren’t foreigners doomed to stay on the outside of the Thai society?

As it is not even considered a possibility by most Thais that a non-Thai can become a Thai.
