Father’s Daughters

I once blogged about Thailand’s probably most beautiful woman – Pinthongta Thaksin. And rightly so, you maybe didn’t take it for real.
The recent Pojaman drama brought the daughters of Thaksin once again into the spotlight. And boy, a beautiful, most telling photo hit the wires. Torn father with daughters.
For once I shut up and let the image speak. Younger sister/daughter Paethongtarn on the left. Leaving me suddenly confused which one to favor.
What if? Great photography.

More than the Obvious
absolutely Bangkok.com offers some girlie talk. There's a myriad of concerned girlie analysts out there already. We feel there is slightly more to Bangkok than the obvious and often-enough-said-and-tried-it-all. We got our own takes on how the "poor Thai women from the countryside with a modest education can make well-educated, worldly Western men do really crazy things," as an old Bangkok hand once said.
