No Leftovers

Spotted: Outlawing Toes and Ankles

Not sure if a lot of hotels have these, but I found this set in at the entrance to Novotel Siam’s Concept CM2 nightclub. The goal here is to make things as clear as possible–i think–so instead of no flip flops and no shorts… they’ve outlawed toes and ankles. How effective is this method of [...]

Spotted: People Jumping Up and Down at Bangkok Iphone 4 Release

What a magic moment. Today happens to be the day that the iphone4 is released in Bangkok. There are lines of nerds in Siam Paragon and all that jazz. But I just so happened to have the great fortune to capture this shot. This looks like a few members of the Kenya’s Masi tribe (well [...]

Spotted: Bus Station Noodles in Vientiane, Laos

Aaah these we so good. Not the spice I’m used to in Thailand, but better herbs and things to add to the soup. Reminded me a lot of Vietnamese Pho, which I also haven’t had in forever. You can see the peanut sauce here that I had to have two servings of too. Best dish [...]

Spotted: Bangkok Ferrari Club?

Not really a car porn kinda guy, so you can guess which of these pics is my favorite. But anyway, I was really pissed when the valet brought me another red Ferrari that just so happened to look like mine. What shit service. Does he think I’ll just drive any of these ol’ hunks of [...]

Spotted: Koh Mr. Saxman and a Classy Wine Experience

I usually discount lounges/restaurants in large hotels, but I’m pleasantly surprised by the Vie. I’m also overdue for some live jazz and the place wasn’t very crowded this evening. Wine was served too chilled, but I was so happy they served it in a real red wine glass, I kind of forgot the fifteen minutes [...]

My article on Bangkok’s newest, but very different Siam hotels just recently went up on Cnngo. So much style happening in these hotels I wanted to post the photos that didn’t make it onto cnngo because of limited space here. When you’re in town check out Lub D and Siam Kempinski (uuh yeah, not at [...]

Spotted: Homemade Thai Frog Dish

Well, what can you say? You can’t say no. Too much social pressure when a group of neighbors call you over to try and get you to try whatever they have (even if it is กบผัดกระเพา, a spicy frog and basil dish). And plus, look at that leo beer induced grin…no turning back now… you [...]

Spotted: Calvin Klein Skid Mark Campaign?!

Uh… get the marketing manager on the phone, I need to report a FAIL. Did someone really approve and someone else REALLY give the ok to an underwear campaign called, “Mark Your Spot?” …On top of that they’re using a giant red ‘x’ as if the past few months of nothing but redshirts wasn’t enough [...]

Spotted: Tastiest Use for a Wheel Barrow

The neighbors are at it again. This time they broke out the heavy duty equipment to do a little bbq. Who new a wheel barrow could be so tasty or so handy?

Spotted: Halo Effect From Redshirt Fires

Fires are still being put out today. Billion of baht of damage. And look what kinda of crazy ufo looking things all the chemicals from the fires have done to the sky. If someone showed me this I wouldn’t believe it was the sky except that you can actually see the moon in these late [...]
