I had no idea yesterday’s post would kick of such a torrent of comments. Pretty much a near record day on the blog thanks to midland. I appreciate a ton what midland is saying and understand where it is coming from but I just don’t think that picking some safe middle ground for purposes of making sure I never alienate a potential customer is the goal. The goal is to be honest, engage with people (customers or not) and try to make an interesting environment for all. In and outside of the bar. When I look at the comment stream from yesterday I still think that is happening and it all looks pretty positive. But given I am a dread lock wearing piece of white trash (card carrying member) - I may not be able to see through my dreads to the actual heart of the issue.
On to more politics. I had high hopes that Obama was going to use his trip abroad to tone down his rhetoric a bit and focus on the issues, listen to the people overseas and show himself as an agent of change. Well - I think he is focusing on the limelight a little too much. Articles like this offer a fairly interesting take on how Obama keeps changing his tune as well. Either way Obama is a force and seems to be getting quite the reception abroad.
Bush, with only months left to continue to prove how big an idiot he is, did not disappoint yesterday with his description of wall street.
“There’s no question about it, Wall Street got drunk,” Bush told his audience last week, adding with a smile: “That’s one reason I asked you to turn off your TV cameras.
Bush baby. Did you really think that at a party fundraiser they would turn off the cameras just to make sure they did not capture one of your finer moments? Please. Wow. Great stuff.
I won’t even touch on the Edwards love child news since the dude with the overpriced haircut is out of the hunt anyway. I sent him an email saying he would get more puss if he grew some dreads. How do I know? Pants Elks told me so.
I have not printed the menu - working on it now but the beta version of breakfast is now being served. We are still putting the final touches together but the basic are in places. Mango McMuffin, pancakes and so on. Feel free to drop in and try some - we value the feedback. Sorry - there is no English Breakfast on the menu, no black pudding and no fried tomatoes. Go ahead. Fire away.
No on to Anonzo. Buddy - we gave you an award hoping that in good faith you would understand what it meant to bear the burden of such a reward. We hoped you would either just go away or at least if you did return you would have the sense to be polite. You did neither:
Smitty: I find it strange that you are aware of the embarassing white trash that is sadly so abundant in Thailand and yet you are still happy to wear dreadlocks, hang around with Nana-scum and even own a hooker bar in Soi 4.
Based on those facts alone, most people will no doubt judge you to be white trash as well - regardless of what kind of person you might really be. Know what I mean?
So apart from the personal attacks - what is the deal with dreads? Dreads are not white trash bud. Rock stars have them, movie stars and many a Thai hip-hop star. Most white trash folks would not have the patience or money to deal with dreads. Moving on.
Nana-scum. Nice one. So once again you label the area as scum. Sorry - we all strive to be as perfect as u bud. How is your uni gf doing? Still wearing that outfit? So the Thai music star in my condo building on soi 4 is scum? The old lady next door to the mango - she scum as well?
I don’t care what people think of me since looks have very little to do with the type of person people are. And for the record - the chicks like the dreads, I am constantly punching way above my weight and no - I don’t know what u mean buddy. Please get a life. Thanks.
Looking forward to the first group cougar hunt.
YP must be missing in action since I am still waiting for him to finish part 2. Part 1 here.
Great comments by Justin on the G Club thread.
Carry on…
Maybe Anonzo is confusing the dreads for a mullet!!
Anyway - couldn’t care less about the Black Pudding but how about some haggis for breakfast or some flat sausage. Fuck the muffins and get some decent rolls!!
Will stop by tonight. Get Mint to have a cold Heineken ready about 8. Maybe this time she’ll let me win at pool!!
Could we get some Soi 4 Scum T-Shirts printed!!

Amen.
The old lady next door, though, curses up a blue streak, drinks like a fish will jump on anything that moves. I’ve seen her licking her lips, eyeing the white-boy-toy talent flowing in and out of the Mango, on the prowl for the night’s prey… She’s a filthy one, bad to the bone.

I’m in my third year living in Thailand, and I have met precisely two Republican supporters in that time, or two that have admitted it anyway. Maybe I’m visiting the wrong bars.
Still, refusing to patronise a bar because it’s owned by a Democrat supporter would be almost as foolish as a restauranteur refusing to serve the world’s finest breakfast. What? Eh? Oh.
Does the old lady next door count as a cougar? I would.
Dreads on white guys are funny. Thai cops love them though.

On Young Penfold, he came into the bar around 1:00am last night with an interesting tale of events that transpired earlier in the eventing. Hopefully he will share the details. He was also asking when Part II would be published so I think he’s under the impression it is done already.

I wear my Soi 4 Scum colours with pride. I suggest an annual Scum Day, when we can march together down Soi Nana, our heads held high, carrying aloft our mascot and totem, Young Penfold.
Getting scummy on Soi 4 was a life-changing experience for me, as it is for many men. I don’t defend prostitution on a global issue basis (global issues are for white women and politicians) but I’d speak up loud and clear in defence of the BKK P4P scene. It’s a true democracy - which means it caters for pretty much anybody. The fact that a fair proportion of “anybody” consists of failures and rejects is no bad thing. The BKK sex scene is nothing if not a broad church, and the orgasm felt by that lout with the tatts (and the dreads) is probably pretty similar to my own, even though I am very much more refined and intelligent and handsome etc. than he is.

I went to the Mango a couple weeks ago for the first time. I had my wife with me and bought dinner for her and a couple of diet cokes for myself. The guy dwith the dreads walked past us but did not say anything to obvious new customers to his bar. I was in despriate need of a get out of jail card but I did not feel the “cheers” atmosphere in the bar.
I will be back however.

I was a skeptic concerning white dudes with dreads given the whole rastafarian religious reasons for wearing them. It was until i saw Dan Aykroyd in trading places that i was convinced whitey could pull them off. then i started smoking copious amounts of weed in high school when i encountered nice white dudes studying art history that would buy it by the pound off me. there is no way Honky Dreads can be associated with white trash since they take time, patience and a meticulous nature to get right. Traits that your average cletus doesn’t have since he’s too busy making, buying, snorting or shooting meth while watching cops with a nice cold pabst and some pork rinds.
Obama is becoming more and more of a douche but he still does not scare me as much as McCain since half my family are in the marines and the last thing i want is a family reunion full of a bunch of crazy jarheads crushing beercans off their skulls and asking me how much “Poon” i had in thailand. some things i like to keep to myself.

bd - yes but hard to show that menu to my mom
jay - our apologies if we did not make you feel more welcome. Usually when see someone with their significant other I tend not to bug them much. Also keep in mind the operating hours of the bar are about 15-16 hours. More than anyone person can do so tough for me to know anymore who is a new customer and who is not. We are also just into the second month and running around like mad still pulling things together. So I could not and never will admit to being a perfect host 24/7.
A bar is like a petrie dish - we have create the right environment but it still takes some time for it to all pull together. We strive for good service, good product, and decent staff above all. Hopefully you will be back and please do not hesitate to introduce yourself if I don’t catch you first.

Obama won’t change anything bar the rhetoric.
He’s working for the same people as McCain and Bush.
Obama just announced he would throw more troops into Afghanistan (where the English and Russians failed many years ago) to give a prime example.
The US elections is akin to voting for a new CEO running a company.
Wall Street, the Oil Companies and the Military Industrial Complex will still run things and need to make profits - usually with an unwinable war on something.
The republicrats will win the election.

View all comments by GoodLife
haha.. thanks for putting my username in the headline again!
you have been very quick to assume that i was dissing you. i wasn’t personally attacking you at all.. after you raised the topic of white trash in Thailand, i was simply pointing out some of the common assumptions that are bound to be made of you due to the 3 reasons I stated. I’m not saying I agree with these assumptions (as I thought I made clear with the words ‘regardless of what kind of person you might really be’). Surely you cannot deny that these assumptions will be made? After all, you made them yourself about others in your original post!
So let’s break down the stereotypes (yes, i said stereotypes, not necessarily my own opinions):
Soi 4 = nana plaza, nana hotel, hookers, pervy bald men in socks and sandals who look like that creepy austrian dude who locked his kids in the basement. The ‘Thai music star in your condo in soi 4′ is either fresh of a plane from Thai-town California or is lost. Either way, she won’t be there for much longer. The old lady next to the mango is not scum, but is probably living off the scum who congregate in that area in one way or another.
Dreadlocks on white ppl = annoying Ko San Road backpacker with fisherman pants, Lonely Planet guidebook and twatty conversations that invariably mention the full moon party in Ko Phangnan. Generally take themselves too seriously and convince themselves that ‘the babes’ love their hair. C’mon, let’s be honest, punching above your weight aint got nothing to do with hair. This is Thailand!
Owning a hooker bar in Nana = I think this one pretty much speaks for itself. Not gonna look great on the CV is it?

hello daywalker,
the big mango isn’t just a hooker bar because hookers go there. it is a hooker bar because of it’s location and because the staff are actively encouraging hookers to go there (with those freelancer card things).
sorry if pointing out this fact makes me a twat.

Anonzo dude, I don’t think you’re a twat at all mate. I think you might be a bit conflicted - as in you seem to like reading about Westerners with whores, well, you must do ‘cos you keep coming back -but at the same time you diapprove. But hey, show me a man with no conflict, and I’ll show you a very boring guy. For the record, I understood your point as being about judging by appearances, and not a personal insult directed at Smitty.
Smitty/Julian - for the record, everybody in Jamaica loves mangos. In fact Jamaica mangoes are sweeter than the puss on a boxfresh go-go dancer. But, to paraphrase a popular Spike Lee film of the early nineties, White Boys Can’t Really Grow Proper Dreads. Fashion dreads, yes; but militant, I Selassie, beeswax and back to Africa dreads, no. In Jamaica you see rastas whose hair is so matted it forms one, two or a few giant dreads pointing in a random direction. Their hair os often turned brown or reddish by the sun, and may reach down their back in a clump. You need Afro hair for that shit. That’s what we call DREAD

Not that running a bar where, let’s face it, most of us hope hookers will go is like being a crack dealer, I’m just challenging your semantics.
Looking back, the use of the term ‘Nana-scum’ was out of order. I can’t believe someone would disrespect their grandmother like that. I didn’t think anything could disturb me more than Young Penfold joking that his mother died of AIDS.

My point about anonzo from day one is that he personally attacks and ridicules people he does not even know for the purposes of getting his points across. A lot of his points are valid in some way but labeling people, locals and expats as scum - is pretty lame anyway u cut it.
I bet in person anonzo might be a nice guy and chances are would not talk to people the way he does sitting behind a computer with no accountability. He would be too embarrassed to do so is my guess.
I feel sorry for him actually since he seems to think that people are what they look like or where they have come from. He seems to forget to respect people before making a judgment. That lack of respect is pretty lame.
anonzo, I assume a CV is like a resume? It is a big word for me since I did not finish uni. However I have not touched my resume in about 7 years and I am still getting job offers. I feel sorry for you given you probably still need to worry about your resume.
daybreak - sorry but he labels people I know and our customers as scum without even bothering to meet this people. Yes - I am bothered by that. Is that so off?

Sat at Charles de Gaulle airport in France, reading with interest about the Soi 4 scum and hooker bars. I like Soi 4, the bars, the no bullshit bars, the scum bar owners, and its whole macro world. Being a scum 4′er myself, with a decent job, no qualifications btw, being able to meet people at all levels of society, from sitting with the villagers in some backwater to giving it the big charlie in the skybar at the millenium hotel, I still like soi 4.

Auk, don’t worry about having no qualifications - you can pick up an MBA (laminated in wipe-kleen plastic) from KSR for 150 tb. It will enable you to have a successful career in marketing, but if you want to move up the career ladder (to sewer maintenance, or playing the piano in a Mexican brothel) you may have to get work for something a little more heavyweight. Like a driver’s license.

Hey - let all scum and non scum live in peaceful harmony. If you can’t police yourselves I will be forced to put together a peacekeeping force in nice blue berets who will refuse to defend anyone but will be happy to loot your homes and rape your women.
Failing that I will put forward a resolution for the Chinese and Russians to veto.
That’ll show you all

MENUDO - The soup menudo is a traditional Mexican dish; a frequently spicy soup made with tripe. Adding patas (beef or pigs feet) to the stew is popular but not universal. In some areas of central Mexico, “menudo” refers to stew of sheep stomach, “pancitas” stew of beef stomach. Typical condiments added to menudo are dried oregano, epazote, ground chile flakes, lime juice, fresh cilantro and chopped onion. - (Thanks Wiki)
Our variation on Menudo (Mondongo) includes hoof jelly and grabanzo beens and we soak the stomach overnight is a lemon/orange mix.
Now dosent that sound like something the Mango should be serving… you would have lines across NANA reaching into Cowboy to eat it… ummm just like abuelita made.
BTW - The Boy Band Menudo is from Puerto Rico Which is a commonwealth of the USA therefore its not a Latino product but rather an American conspiracy to beat us Latinos into shame (and they did a it)

OBAMA versu McCain on TAXES
Make an informed decision.
____________________
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
Current 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples)
McCain does not propose any change in income tax on existing home sales
OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales
How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% taxes on.your profit (Capital Gain)
If you are planning to retire and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community 28% of the money you make (CAPITAL GAIN) from your home will go to taxes.
This proposal will adversely affect retiring couples who are counting on the income (CAPITAL GAIN that is currently exempt from income tax) from their home as part of their retirement income.
___________
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
OBAMA
39.6%
How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama become president.
The experts predict that ‘higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.
_____________________
INCOME TAX
MCCAIN (no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250
OBAMA
Reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts (CLINTON TAX INCREASES WOULD BE REINSTATED)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama your taxes will more than double!
How does this affect you? No explanation needed.
This is pretty straight forward.
__________________
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax
How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses,
farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families
for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax.
Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes.
