WTF Thaksin Are You …?!

First divorcing your wife? Then traveling around the world and to sunny Cambodia, as a state guest, producing headline after headline, accusing your old homeland of false patriotism – and then this?!
Your hand on a hot blonde’s scantily clad waist. Traitor! Holding a farang! What a life. And he was arriving by private plane. And he wishes himself back to a life of Thai politics and intrigue.
What a bore. Or wait. Maybe that is not your hand on that blonde’s waist. What? A matter of perception? Get lost. What worse PR. Dare to see the whole picture?
Ah, you touring Angkor Wat and posing with a tourist. And some thought the blonde’s just one of many an ideological and political adulterer’s dark secrets.
Better get the whole picture first. See?

Politically Correct? You Bet
absolutely Bangkok.com stands for measured, carefully opined takes of easy going intellectuality. Not that we're politically correct. Heaven forbid. First and foremost we aim to enhance civilized dialog and debate about this our fascinating, never truly understood city. The world's official capital of sin, sizzle and spice - where "hottest" prevails in edible, climatic and female manifestation.

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.
