Unmasking the Nana Plaza prowler

The NP Prowler says:

I am zimply looking for ze puzzy...

God II : The return of the Syph says:

Let me tell you missterr NP Prowler, yer aint nuttin' 'sept a gaawddammed, chicken livered little pussey yerslef! And an low lfe imposter too!

Eye am the dude in the picture and aeye am on a mission from Gaawd! Eaye am the missionary from the Church of Jeeesus Charist the Double Glazing Salesman and eaye am here to save these little goirls from a life of sleeaze.

Me an' my brothers take these goirls to our chapel of tender lurve and affecshun where we purge the evil spirits from their bodies. The hexact proseedure is a close secret known only to the inner circle of the brotherhood.

So stop trying to get yer filthy personas in on the action or we will call on the Almighty to unleash his fire and brimstone on yers.

Hugh Jarse says:

It could be Stinkman himself conducting his bargirl investigations or collecting material for his column. With the price of drinks and being on a teachers salary its probably the cheapest way to do it. Come to think of it, that explains the tripe he puts forth weekly in the guise of a column.

Kristopher says:

"Angry Nana guy", as my friends and I have called him for several years now, has been the occasional subject of conversation and speculation while we watch the parade of ass from our perches at Big Dogs. Over the years we have asked a few of the regular ex-pats and a number of the girls that have put in extended tours of duty and the only bit of information that seemed credible came from one of the service girls at Big Dogs. She said he had a girlfriend that left him and went back to work somewhere in Nana and because he did not know where he just waits across the street, pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands together, hoping to find her. This, of course, has led to wild alcohol induced speculation as to what will happen when she exits Nana with some poor boob in tow and "angry Nana guy" catches sight of this. His 5+ years of angst and frustration will inevitably send him straight over the edge causing who knows what kind of catastrophic confrontation that will level hamburger stands, destroy street side displays of ear rings, render the screaming preacher and his new side kick unconscious and thankfully scatter ladyboys for miles from the entrance of Nana. Of course the kids selling flowers and gum will barely notice as this would be commonplace for them.

There is always the possibility that he is just fucked in the head and he thinks it is normal to pace around looking as if he is about to rip off his shirt exposing the 25 pounds (11.34 kilos for most readers) of C4 that he has strapped to himself ready to take us all into oblivion.

Bangkokram says:

Can't be Stinkman, according to his column;

http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/Weekly2006/weekly268.htm

He know longers mixes with normal or poor Thai people, only Hi-So for Stick now.

I'm going straight down to Soi 4 to find out who this Geezer is! If you see a fat bloke having the shit kicked out him by the NP Prowler, jump in and help me.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah says:

Hezbollah Sex-Pat on holiday?

mike says:

i don't know about the NP Prowler, but truer words were never said....."Stickman....the tit that he is"

Mr Thaky, from bangerschat.org says:

He may well be a weirdo but he sure don't have to write in the guise of pretending to be his "Educated Wife" {my mortgage is still on her originating from one of da Bar's in korat} writing pefectly worded English "Kiwi style" reply's to Farrangs questions on what is at best a rather tame excuse for an informed bkk website.
Thaky xxxxxxxxx { l'd probably still shag her though}

rob says:

Never noticed him myself. But maybe he's got some scam or thievery going on, scouts out the area for possible victims and makes the calls to tell his minions who to go after?

Dave says:

He might be a spy...

cue theme from 'Mission Impossible'...

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah says:

It's time Stickman had a Fatwa put on his head! Allah Akbar!

Caretaker Reader says:

No 72 virgins for you Sayyed - it's "Allahu Akbar" (bang).

Mike of Vientiane says:

He’s probably a voyeur who can’t get the courage to take the girls himself. Wants to do it but guilt, conscience etc keep him from taking the final step so he watches others do it. Totally harmless and sad! However, he shouldn’t be hassled about it since he is harming no-one. Who knows what would happen if he is confronted in some aggressive manner. Does one of your readers want a suicide on the conscience? Leave him alone in his miserable and lonely state and enjoy the beer, the girls, the ambiance, etc. etc.

Andy says:

Maybe he's looking for someone to adopt or sponsor him? Articles like this only help to glamorise and help these fucking weirdos....

Ex-SAS, I reckon.

chris says:

HE'S A UNDERCOVER FOR ALL YOUR WIFES AND GIRL FRIENDS BETTER WATCH OUT

paddy says:

is this going to start another huge argument with stickman again?? why dont you guys leave the poor fucker alone we all know his website is shite. end of the stickman story. i have never seen the NP stalker i feel left out. i will keep an eye out for him on the next trip for sure though

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah says:

Salaam alaikum Caretaker. I certainly will not get my 72 virgins in Nana! Actually we're on to something here - great name for a bar, possible location could be in the Grace Hotel.

On another point, David, where do you get your sexy Thai girl pictures from? Great little feature that.

Omar says:

Yeah Mike, thats really glamorised and helped him I'm sure.

Caretaker Reader says:

The Allahu Akh Bar - it's a great idea, all the girls wearing gauzy harem outfits so no problems from the police about "showing", all alcohol served in teacups, no need to spend a lot of money on decorating, just hang up lots of material so it looks like you're inside a tent, save money on electricity by not having AC so it feels like the tent is in a desert, instead of live sport on TV have the Al Jazeera channel.

Do you think there would be any problem with insurance?

Mr Thaky, from bangerschat.org says:

wonkers all wonkers .
especially the one in black.
does Sticky the anti Brit wonker have a slaphead ???

Sharif says:

Might have a few problems with the illegal camel racing racket. That, and the odd customer with his hand chopped off for forgetting to pay his beer tab.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah says:

Themed nights at 'Allahu Akh Bar' really would sort the men from the boys:

Sharia Saturdays - for that extra conservative feel some of the girls will dress up like Saudi Religious Policeman and apply the appropriate beating.. "Oh I've been a bad boy! I just ate at Mcdonalds. Show me no mercy Mrs Policeman (Whack!!)"

RPG Mondays - Every 3rd beer (in a tea cup) gets you a free rocket. Drink 12 and get the launcher for the walk home.

Taliban Tuesdays - Once again the girls don another outfit, this time those lovable rogues from the poppy seed capital of the world. Bar fine Mullah Omar half price!

Any other thoughts?

nobody says:

I know the guy. he is a good person. doesn't hurt anybody. and is not a weirdo. leave him alone. he is entitled to his privacy.

if you don't, how would you like it if somebody exposed your earnings to the irs? or better yet. maybe we should let people know where you live. would you like that?

TANAI KWAI says:

"nobody" writes,

[Insert high-handed, menacing rebuke in the fragmented and generally unpunctuated style of e.e. cummings here.]

Excuse me but if you make a spectacle of yourself by virtue of your unusual behavior a bit of attention is warranted.

Whether you dress in black pyjama pants and stalk around like a nervous cat in front of Nana or wank twice daily behind Chuwit Park (Dana) you can expect to become the subject of at least some languid speculation and piss-taking. Harmless stuff, and it wouldn't be given voice here were it otherwise.

TK

Andy says:

What is the correct collective noun for a bunch of weirdo's, btw?

I'm off to get my tinfoil hat already,....

Dale says:

Maybe 'nobody' is this blokes employer?

It's good to see that I'm not the only one that has noticed this loon haning around Nana. I thought I was starting to see things as he seemed to be everywhere you looked!

Bless his little cotton socks, or whatever he decides to wear down there since he now wears trousers rather than his trademark shorts with hand in pockets rocking too and fro.

nobody says:

if you don't watch out, you may have an "unwanted visitor" who will kick the shit out of you. ..just like they did with stickman. your life is worth shit in this city. and if you don't know that already. you will.

last words, asshole.

TANAI KWAI says:

Lots of tough guys on the web. Welcome, "nobody." You'll fit right in here.

Half of the posters are attractive, trim fellows with fiercely loyal, non-materialistic Thai girlfriends of unmatched beauty, poise and refinement ("good girls" all). The other half of us are men of steel with the build of an M1 tank to match -- fearsome double-flushers who have killed men for less.

last words,
TK

The Man in Black says:

I am the man in black. Just to allay your fears, I can tell you that all I am doing is quietly participating in my favorite hobby - I call this hobby "extreme people watching". I used to really enjoy people watching in the normal way but I realized that good company, an iced drink, a comfortable seating arrangement etc. where all superfluous to requirements. Now I just don the uniform and hit the streets. People watching is about...well watching people isn't it. Sometimes I like to count in my head how many people I have watched in one night. I think it could really catch on.

Jaques says:

Ha ha, that was a good one "nobody", very funny. Threatening people you don't know and will never meet.... nice one.

Dale says:

How can people have an "unwanted visitor"? Where exactly are they going to visit?

They'd have to pay an awful lot of money for a flight to visit a lot of people on here, haha.

I've heard that Alaska is quite nice this time of year. Maybe they can visit there. Not too good for people watching though if you believe National Geographic.

I never understand these people. If you can't handle a bit piss take them why bother reading or posting on here?

Looks like Kristopher was right. Angry Nana Guy seems to have angry friends too.

Mr Thaky, from bangkokchat.org says:

wonkers all wonkers.
"Don't push me" mr Nobody no knackers

Thako.

BigUnit says:

I call this hobby "extreme people watching"

did that ever make me laugh.

Hopefully this guy sees the humour in being dubbed "the Nana Plaza prowler" and "Angry Nana guy"

Jon says:

On a related issue, has anyone noticed that young farang fella who seems to turn up very regularly alone, walk right in to the plaza and vanish? The girls always hollar at him as he walks by but he seems to ignore it. Seen him most weeks.

Dale says:

Could be one of the Big Mango lads going to work and having to ignore the calls from the girls in order to get there in one piece.

Can't say I've noticed this lad if thats not the explanation.

Bangkok Phil says:

Don't you guys have other things to worry about apart from the identity of the NP prowler? .....such as what you might catch from the girls at Big Dogs?
And I know how much The Stickman earns. Believe me. He doesn't have to go searching for happy hour beers and a daylight grope of wobbly Isarn flesh. Sorted.

Mr Thaky, from bangkokchat.org says:

bangkok Phil.

They say when they drop the Nukes only cockroaches and Butt lickers survive.

No prize for guessing which one Phil comes under.

Thaky.

john-a says:

Jon,

about that young guy. does he sometimes walk with japanese/thai and other foreigners as well? always without a girl... but it seems that he knows most of them tho

John-A

Graham Earnshaw says:

The guy is just watching the Nana area for hopeless drunks who will be later drugged or mugged by lady boys waiting round the corner. His presence spells trouble for newbies.

Rei Dallas says:

Would be nice to get a telephoto shot from the front.

Did Stickman get his ass kicked, as suggested in an above comment?

reidallas

flewbiddy says:

Yes, please someone get a picture from the front. I'm a little disturbed because the guy looks just like me from behind. Sure, I can sometimes be found next to the nana hotel sign, but who hasn't? Oh god, please don't let it be me.

Jutter says:

Yeah, am interested too

did stickman get his ass kicked?

tell us all the story will be more interesting than some his 'weeklies'

keep up the good work on this awesome web site Dave, your literary style is second to none

jimbo says:

seen the twat last night, skulking round
at least think it was him, when i asked if he s doing his extreme people watching he replied with "i like it" in an eastern european accent, then proceeded to stalk around like he was busting for a shite. sorry lads couldnt get a pic, nobody might get me whacked.

flewbiddy says:

Amen to that! After living in Thailand for over three years now I've just become aware of this site. Dave, you are quite a literary talent - especially your use of some rather spot on colorful metaphors. And to think that I've spent the last three years relying on the self-proclaimed Bangkok correspondent for Thai insights.

Well, in my quest to ensure that I'm not the Nana Plaza prowler, I did my own little investigation last night. The only person that could be considered a prowler was a youngish fellow with a shaved head. He's rather thin, tall and apparently quite fluent in Thai. I doubt it's him though, as he would actually engage in coversation with one or two ladies for half an hour, then move on to another one and do the same. He eventually got into a cab by himself.

On an unrelated subject, is anyone familiar with the Raja Hotel (I think that's the name) near the Ball in Hand on the right hand side of soi 4? I wandered into their lobby which is connected to a coffee shop packed with about a dozen Russian/eastern European ladies and perhaps an equal number of middle-aged Asian men. A brave soul would occassionaly venture over to a lady he was interested in and, after a minute or two, the couple headed off to the nearest elevator. Perhaps this is old news, but it's the first time I've ever seen such a large congregation of foreign ladies of the night. I'm wondering if it's a regular occurrence?

Mick Dundee says:

I think we can categorically say that it's definitely not Big John!

paddy says:

we want the story of stickmans ass kicking. if it didnt happen then by fuck you better make one up. the whole world is dying to hear it or better yet with any luck it was video taped

Jon says:

John-A - yea, that's the guy (young farang fella) he is often with a Japanese/Thai looking guy or other farang..

Babydragon says:

Yep The NP was around and about last Friday Night .
No change of uniform either, same same but different, what happens to disturbed people in The LOS

SumYungGuy says:

Never noticed this guy myself.
I might buy the cunt a beer if i see him.

Babydragon says:

Haha ! Buy him a beer that will possibly frighten the shit out of him ,he'll fuck off and never be seen again.

breakshead says:

The guy's name is Andre he is from the Ukraine. Apparently he does a song and dance routine in the Roo bar just up from the Plaza at 7pm on the dot everynight.

babydragon says:

Well There you go now that explains everything dosent it ?
Whats he writing down ? local moves and grooves ?
This Guy seems seriously Fucked up !

john-a says:

Jon, im still not sure if we talk about the same guy. u mention he often walks alone around nana? then we are not talking about the same guy! this young fella i talk about never walks alone (!) it seems like he is always with someone friend,'colleague', family, 'customer', undercover police.whatever. happen to know little bit more about him after talking with some locals and expats. u can not compare this young guy with the weird cat in the article. the younger one, from what i heard, has connections with influential figures from nana and other joints/places in bkk. he acts/dresses like a ordinary expat/tourist.. but i guess, like u and me jon, that if u take a good look u see that he is more then just a ordinary farang. even some of the nana-parking girls seem to smile, respect him and ignore in polite way. weird stuff.

Jon says:

Im not certain now either, John-a, but I have never seen a young farang come regularly into the plaza like this one, and with the same sort of 'air of calm' like he does. I am really curious (killed the cat..) now after what you have said. The guy I am talking about always wears a shirt.. never a t shirt or shorts or any tourist garb. I asked a few girls and they said they didn't know. I havent seen him walking around the plaza alone, but I have seen him enter on his own I am sure. I thought I saw him speaking Thai too in one bar but I might have been too drunk to remember.. all very curious.

babydragon says:

The Smart Young Man ( Not the Dickhead in Black ) you have seen is Possibly Ross !
He is a Police Man from Australias Gold Coast and has set up Children's Protection agencies around Thailand.
he works closely with Pattaya Police and gets Full support from The Royal Thai Police. He Hunts Pedophiles and also runs a couple of Orphan Centres in Chiang Mai.
Sounds Very Much like Ross .

jon says:

Hm, the guy I refer to looks to young to have done all that.. more like early twenties. If I see him again I shall be asking.

We're also talking about Bangkok and not pattaya, although of course you could be right.

anthony byrne says:

Hell' leave stick alone 'he does not trash Mango sauce at every oportunity
whats your problem ? live and let live

Stick hater says:

On the subject of 'Stick' he is hardly that.. what annoys me about this guy is he talk about his distain about the 'naughty nightlife', but writes half his weekly about it... and for those who think he is a poor english teacher. Dont be fooled, the guy is raking it in.. especially from the fools who buy into his 'bar girl investigations'

Whats really needed is for nutter guy in black to hand out pics of him to bargirls so he is known to them.. Bargirl investigations are fine but hypocricy is not..

fileep says:

Stickman got the shit beat out of him by the outlaw bikes that operate on Ko Samui. but he put up a good fight, well for the first 3 second anyway.

Dick Renegade says:

Ross sounds like he needs to get laid. I still regard Australia as an English prison colony.

surveyor says:

do you think that this stick hater and fileep are gAULt?? sounds like it to me.

surveyor

fileep says:

hey surveyor, if i was gAULt i would have used a capital f in my name, i just write what i see and what i saw was 3 seconds of fame...and it was sweet!!!! as far as gAULt is concerned i will live it for the next 5 weeks and see if i like it...and then who knows? life is such a strange inioses, i may like it. i think you should read the duck adventures by Tango Bejesus, maybe then you will be a happy fool. thank you very much for your attention.

Strap says:

For Jon and John-A

By any chance does the young guy your talking about wear black shirts and jeans most of the time? If im thinking of the same guy he sometimes comes with a friend
(Thai guy) most times, But sometimes he comes alone then disapers into the bars.
If its the same person then I no who your talking about.
Cheers

warick hunt says:

another weirdo,i would like to round them all up and take them, to say,a posh wedding party out in the sticks and then let them loose,get them all drunk first,then take photos,

Mikey Mike says:

Never noticed the guy myself and i'm out and about in that area fairly often, will keep my eyes open and do some asking around,

Dale says:

The man in black is back. He is usually sporting a look that comprises of the famed white sock and sandal combo.

Still doing the same as usual. Loitering around making the place look untidy.

kekko says:

jon, john-a , strap, others,

hair.. short from the side and straight up with gel on the top ? young early 20s, west-european? mostly accompanied by older thai guy and never participates in the entertainment itself there? if thats who u guys talking about; better not play around with that guy. ask the boys from mango or rainbow .. or any random police officer @ sukhu
