Nine Inches of Nicky and the future of Thai porn

It’s a hot Sunday afternoon outside a PTT gas station’s Cafe Amazon, and a small crowd of reporters have gathered to see a motley band of photographers, writers and others volunteering to support one man’s bid to “revolutionize” porn in Thailand.

Before giving him a chance to talk about all his ambitions and frustrations, there was one urgent question to ask the man few know as Sura Theerakon: Why nine inches?

“And why not nine inches?” came the annoyed reply to the all-to-frequent question before settling into his groove. “Nine-inch classic, all dick! Nine-inch classic, baby!”

One clarification however: “It’s actually 10 inches these days, though,” the Thai-English entertainer added.

But which side of the ruler did you use?

“I used a huge protractor. Come on,” he insisted. “When you hear it, you remember me. You remember my nine inches!”
