He mentioned in his last column that next weeks will be the last. I know he's said that before but seems more certain this time :rofl:
https://www.stickmanbangkok.com/week...e-end-is-near/
More and more Thai centered sites seem to be closing, maybe it's me :frog:
He had a good run and I liked his stuff 15 years ago.
All things come to an end.
Never read him, though just read the link I'd say he'll be back.
Sounds like hes branching out on his own because the owner of his site he sold is not paying for that tosh he puts out from NZ.
Should get the old Punty on there
and it wont be long before the old teak door creaks shut for the last time.
Stick dropped me an email over the weekend to say that he definitely won't be updating the website after next week.
So TD will be the 'exclusive' publisher for my life saga 'A Crazy Life' (next chapter in progress...)

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. :confused:Quote:

The Ruskie is an ''english teacher'' according to Punty.
Anyway, Stickman ending will leave me with an 1 hour hole in my sunday nights
^A Russian English teacher?
Must be teaching her countrymen or....... working at that Russian gogo on Walking Street:)
No loss, really.
The less fanciful and ill-gotten sites as this, the better.
And take your ilk with you, Stickman.

Feels like Thailand had a really good run last 15 to 20 years maybe and a lot of people are moving on and looking for other places...not just expats but some Thai's I know and of course the tourists.
All places go through this and my gut feeling is Thailand is a bit played out now. Not a fan of Stickman and rarely read it so not really commenting on that but this is the vibe I am getting...and kinda my mood as well. I have a longtime Thai friend that lives in LA but usually visits 4 times a year and is kinda burned out on coming back, says its boring now...business is slow, going out and partying not as fun...I dunno just an observation.
Thing is of course, people were saying that 30 years ago to my knowledge, and doubtless long before that.Quote:

Yup... circa 30 years ago Chatchai's government was setting new records for corruption, Bangkok was in imminent danger of sinking, a mass transport system for Bkk would never get built because Thais were too half arsed...and old hands were finding they were partying less. :)
I'll really miss Stick's 1995-look website.
it is a bit sad to see him go
and some of the readers submissions were good
I think the last time I read it was in the 1990s and looking at it now, it's impressive that both its awful design and its shit content has been maintained with such diligence.Quote:

Maybe for him after he's barfined them
Reminding us of a few theme-like expat forums - Pattaya Addicts, et al.Quote:

Always seemed like just a re-hash of 'Trink' to me.
And given that Trink had been re-hashing Trink for 15 years prior to the intergoogles...
or a latter-day Dean Barrett.Quote:

I couldn't have put it bratislava myself.
As predicted by more than a few, Stickman has done a Herpes and isn't going away. I only read the first few paragraphs, enough to read that "talks were going on in the background" or some such wording, but his extortion attempt last week has paid off....
A Stickman deja vu....Quote:

Possibly.. whoever is doing his running about finding out which Lek/Dao/Nok is dancing where blah blah blah wants more money for this tiresome task. Don't blame them.
And maybe Stevie Wonder should stop choosing his girls of the week.
I seems that last Sundays edition was the final one... maybe.
Oooooh..Stickman's being such a tease
Should never have part sold the site to an Indian maybe?
I like your avatar Thai3.
That is my favorite album by Jimmy Hendrix.
er going to see his old flat when I am in London, next to Handel's old gaff.
I never realised you were so enamoured with Stickman that you'd go and see his old flat :rofl:Quote:
