    Stickman Ending

    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

    https://www.stickmanbangkok.com/week...e-end-is-near/


    More and more Thai centered sites seem to be closing, maybe it's me
    I'd like to see what morning looks like
    Don't wanna drink pint after pint
    I wanna wake up without feeling sick
    But I can't cuz I'm a drug-abusing alcoholic

    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

    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...)

    Nah, Sam needs a ghost writer. His Russian TEFler bird could help him, but I doubt that'd be any use.

    That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.



    Perhaps a 'Russian TEFler bird' could help?

    No loss, really.

    The less fanciful and ill-gotten sites as this, the better.
    And take your ilk with you, Stickman.

    All the best to Stick,

    He was helpful to the newbies, in general.

    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.

    Maybe, dunno...just the sense I get and from talking with Farang and Thai alike. Were you around 30 years ago? I sure wasnt...anyways, a big part of it I think is the economy is really not good, and this has affected me somewhat but I know a lot of Thai small biz's are not doing that great.

    Ofcourse the political situation and the other things that must not be spoken about are not well.

    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 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.

    I think he realised he was onto a winner when he discovered the potency of gossip as a means of piquing interest. Once folk became familiar with the territory and its main mongers, they were hooked.

    He also claimed that every Thai date will put out on the first night.

    Maybe for him after he's barfined them
