Tanai Kwai shares Bangkok Girlfriend

With Stickman stitched up, Friskodude locked up and Baron Bonk giving up (due to ill health) the time has come for a new Thailand blogger to step up to the plate.
Spurred on by the critical acclaim that greeted his NotMangoSauce spoof, our very own Tanai Kwai now brings us BangkokGirlfriend.com.
This week, he questions the effectiveness of Thai girls learning English from the subtitles of pirated DVDs - as aptly illustrated by a quote from a knock-off version of Pirates of the Caribbean and its inept transcription:
You will offer what amounts to a full pardon.
You are for what the mom's stewed full tongue.
Back in 2001, I met a Chiang Mai bargirl who was trying to get her 'stewed full tongue' around the English language by memorising a dictionary. Starting at A, six weeks of hard work had got her as far as 'Barometer' so, at that rate, she can expect be fluent by around 2014.
More of Tanai Kwai's linguistic lunacy here:
Also showing this week
The Bangkok Noir movement now embraces video. Luk khreung rappers, Thaitanium, provide the soundtrack to four slideshows of paintings by nightlife artist, Chris Coles.
Bangkok Neon features the illuminated signs from various nightlife establishments and you'll probably find yourself muttering "been there... been there... got blown-off there... been there..." etc.
