Anti-farang activist resurfaces as cub reporter
"Farang sex tourists and sex maniac English teachers go home" - Netchanok Klinkesorn.
It's always nice when you run into old friends but it's even nicer when you track down old enemies to their new place of work and remind them about their past misdeeds.
Seen here picking her nose, Netchanok Klinkesorn is the anti-farang activist who founded the now defunct race-hate website Farangs.org.
Incredibly, she's just popped up again as a trainee photojournalist on BK Magazine - a free Bangkok listings guide serving the farang community.
It's a bit like Saddam Hussein reinventing himself as a White House intern.

No to foreign brides: Feminism meets fascism
In an echo of Hitler's 1935 Racial Purity Law, which forbade sex between Germans and Jews, feminist TV host and columnist, Bonnie Erbe, is calling for a ban on American men taking foreign brides.
Realising that the term "racially inferior" can't be used these days, Erbe justifies her extreme views by labelling foreign brides as "less well educated" and poses the question "Do we really want another 40,000 plus people entering the United States per year?"
She also accuses their American husbands of "unimaginable abuse."

NOT Mango Sauce: David "outed" by stalker
The future of Mango Sauce hangs in the balance tonight as a deranged stalker exposes my hidden agenda on his twisted website.
NotMangoSauce.com is just one of a growing number of malicious websites that have published crudely fabricated evidence to support devastating allegations of impropriety against Thailand's leading webmasters.
Most troubling are a series of blurred photographs taken in a poorly-lit area of Suvarnabhumi Airport which purportedly show George from ThaiVisa.com exposing a small area of skin through the fly hole of his sweat-stained slacks and challenging startled female cleaners to guess whether it's part of his penis or scrotum.

Tragic Ray needs a loving home
As Keith Summers declares "year zero" from the granite plinth that once supported Stickman's imposing statue, thousands of bewildered readers find themselves swept up in the cruel tide of war.
Ray is one of them.
Frightened, confused and clutching a small suitcase containing a week's supply of Viagra, two boxes of Durex Extra Safe and a tube of KY Jelly, Ray stumbled through the demilitarised zone into the secure Mango Sauce enclave where representatives of the International Community provided him with humanitarian assistance.

Thaitanium's bathroom secrets exposed
When Conan swung open the door of a toilet cubicle at Bangkok's BEC Tero Hall on Wednesday night, he couldn't believe what he saw.
The twin dunnys was a definite WTF? moment. All I knew is I had to get a photo.
It's just wrong on so many levels...

Y're mine now, my pretties
"Blackbeard's little pets, that's what you'll be!"
Accused of public lewdness by the Thai Culture Ministry, the activities of sexy event models - known as "pretties" - will soon be strictly regulated.
No one is fonder of "pretties" than legendary pirate of the Caribbean, Blackbeard, who reputedly took up to fourteen common law wives before being decapitated in 1718.
Despite having had his skull made into a punch bowl, Blackbeard is bitterly opposed to the new measures and tells me that he'll "drink damnation to the Ministry of Culture and neither give nor take quarter."

Ahoy there! Keith Summers gets his 15 minutes
I want people to know who I am. Do you really think that I would have started all this without eventually revealing myself? I put breadcrumbs out there for you on my site. Hell, you're practically playing into my hands - Keith Summers.
Keith Summers would have us believe that his "outing" of nightlife guru Stickman (See Galt silences Stickman) was part of a carefully orchestrated bid to achieve notoriety.
It worked.
Today, we investigate why he did it and, in a Mango Sauce exclusive, Stickman opens his heart for the first time.

Sai-Tai Tiger: Thai nude model
Don't visit Sai-Tai Tiger's erotic website without a qualified medical practitioner on hand because priapism is no joke.
Born on a cattle farm in Phitsanulok, Northern Thailand, Sai-Tai, 27, trained as a fashion designer in Bangkok before discovering her true calling as the natural alternative to Viagra.
To maintain my composure at times like this, I try to imagine Britain's former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, emerging from the surf in a woollen bathing costume but, on this occasion, "bringing on the safety car" is having little effect.

Thailand shamed by Thaksin toilet legacy
If you truly believe that women don't fart then you must hold them in very high regard. Similarly, Thailand's former Prime Minister Thaksin became seduced by the notion that foreign visitors never use the toilet. Although deeply flattered, we have to face up to the practical difficulties that this misunderstanding has created.
In order to maximise retailing space, notoriously few toilets have been provided in the gigantic new King Power shopping mall that masquerades as Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Pre-emptively laying cable at 36,000 feet isn't always possible, however, because many people - including my own girlfriend - are fearful of using aircraft toilets in the mistaken belief that their intestines will be violently ripped out through their ringpieces by an invisible force.
Obviously, she can't wait in line if the turtle's head is already poking out so King Power only have themselves to blame if she's forced to nip one off behind a stack of Toblerones.

Galt silences Stickman
Thousands of disappointed readers seeking their weekly dose of Stickman are being greeted by this terse message:
The Stickman site is down and offline for the time being. It is hoped that it will return soon...
Best wishes,
The Stickmanbangkok team
Rival webmaster, John Galt, precipitated Stick's downfall by revealing his place of work and, a few minutes ago, he dropped by to offer an explanation.
Stickman was sufficiently shaken by my most recent column that he shut down his site. I'm sure this is only a temporary condition. Chances are he is removing all evidence that links him to his place of employment. The axe I grind is that Stickman is cleverly taking advantage of people in ways that are clearly questionable. Stick very cleverly mixes truth with fiction and, in the end, his readers are the suckers who pay the tab. That's a good reason to wield an axe. Stickman has stepped on a lot of toes and now those toes are stepping back.

Teens violated by female sexual predators
While normal teenage boys are preoccupied by pornography, automatic weapons and low self-esteem issues, those lucky enough to live in Thailand have the opportunity to get involved with women.
Considering that even the most jaded middle-aged swordsman can be flipped into lovesick fool mode by his first encounter with a Thai woman, naive adolescents with raging hormones can get out of their depth all too quickly.
Last year, I ran into one of the young casualties at Bangkok's Bumrungrad Hospital.

Naughty boys "go bamboo" in Thailand
When an American tourist purchased a Bangkok bargirl for his nine year-old son, he also took one for himself. Back at the hotel, the boy settled down with bargirl #1 to watch Monsters Inc. while his dad took bargirl #2 next door for some monstering of a different nature.
For the adventurous single man with a kid in tow, barfining a babysitter really ought to be a last resort but it's actually fairly common. If our tourist dad had stayed in a decent hotel, they'd have laid one on for him.
While visiting Bangkok with his family, a chum of mine stayed at the Marriott. His two young sons were a big hit with the female staff and, at mealtimes, they'd run off and play with the sexy waitresses - while their poor old dad looked on enviously.
One of the girls volunteered to come over and baby-sit that evening. She looked great in her Thai costume but when she turned up later, casually dressed and with her long silky hair let down, she looked absolutely stunning.
