Thai furniture: At home with the Caesars

Recreating the baronial grandeur of an historic Scottish hunting lodge in my small Bangkok apartment isn't going to be easy but, with the help of this handsome suit of armour from The Emporium's Royal Davinci, I could make the doubters eat their words - possibly from the flamboyantly glazed porcelain serving bowl you can see in the background.

At home with the Thai Caesars

The florid interior decor of the neo-classical suburban villas of Thailand's dodgy elite wouldn't look out of place in the Grand Salon of the Chateau de Versailles - or even a tart's boudoir - but don't ask how they made their money.

Anyone reckless enough to laugh openly at the heavy onyx telephone with eye-catching gilt details might be risking a surprise night time visit from burly ex-boxers sporting "bullet-proof" tattoos and a kilo of gold amulets.

Thai bargirl gobbles Frenchman's ring

Thai bargirl gobbles Frenchman's ring

When a Thai bargirl gets her mouth around a guy's ring, he's probably not going to complain - but he might do if it's his diamond ring. Combover sent me this bowel-looseningly funny story from the Phuket Gazette, entitled Bargirl swallows rock.

RAWAI: A Patong bargirl swallowed a Frenchman's diamond ring after he refused to pay her and a friend for services rendered after an all-night menage-a-trois in Rawai.

Chalong Police received a complaint from a 62-year-old Frenchman identified as Mr Patrick, who fingered Tawan, a 28-year-old bar girl, as the jewelry-gulping culprit.

Mr Patrick told the police that on the evening of February 8 he went to Tai Pan Pub, where he met Tawan and a friend named Rose. Mr Patrick invited the girls to join him for a three-way at his house in Rawai.
