Welcome to This is Thailand

My latest entry to the blogroll is a fairly new Thailand site called This is Thailand (I love the url) and authored by an American who is splitting his time between the U.S. and Thailand.  Go ahead over and say “hi” if you don’t mind registering first.  I must admit I haven’t commented there yet (are you reading this Bruce?) because of the need to register before you can comment.  Yes I admit it I’m lazy that way.

I was found by him rather than the other way around and I’m glad he did find me because I’ve been enjoying reading his almost daily posts detailing his experiences in Bangkok.  The tone is light and friendly and the posts are an easy read and (for me at least) a short getaway from life here in the U.S.

Recent posts have talked about cabbies in Bangkok, a night in Pattaya (no bargirls), and several posts about the service levels in Thailand.  You can tell that he loves living in bangkok and even when frustrated is able to maintain a degree of patience and understanding for the Thai culture.

One thing that is noticeably absent from This is Thailand is any mention of prostitutes, bargirls or katoeys and for that I applaud.  Lord knows there is plenty of that type of thing already available and I don’t think another blog about sex tourism in Thailand will help anyone, least of all the Thai’s.

The site is obviously growing and his blogroll has grown in the past few weeks from 4 sites to the current 50+ sites.  You’ve been a busy guy trading links!  What I really like about the blogroll he has is that it is divided into subject areas.  I rarely see that and I think it is a huge help to the readers.  In fact, maybe I should take a hint

So, if you love Thailand and need a daily fix of expat news and opinions head on over to This is Thailand and say Steve from Thailand Musing sent you.
