why stickman called it a day

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Time to bring back Bernard Trink.

He's still alive, isn't he?

the nightlife was NOT the whole website

guess he has not gotten around to updating yet.
Some basic information about this site, from how it began, what it turned in to and why it will end in 2015!
That's true. He used to have heaps of stuff on there, but stopped updating it years ago.

Yes he's in his 80's now. Was sat at a bar in Pattaya years ago when he came in with his faithful wife who i think always used to accompany him on his rounds. Looked pretty funny because his trousers were held up by braces and were almost half way up his chest, even in the fashion challenged metropolis that is Pattaya his look was somewhat unique.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

If anyone is interested in perusing Trink's old columns from 1996 - 2003, have a look at this:

http://www.oocities.org/doxyblue/alltrink.html

Although, it may appear that the site is defunct, many of the links are active. Scroll down for the archive and read about straphangers, demimondaines, brylcreem, the price of spam at Foodland vs. Villa, caravansaries, saloonkeeps, dramshops, etc
