Pam's Electronic Voice: Buddhist Bling
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2007/04/buddhist-bling.html
My Little Expat Blog. Friday, April 20, 2007. The King has one. We didn't know this until recently, but apparently (and how we know this I cannot imagine) his amulet is very powerful. You see, he was in a hospital and a nurse tried to administer an injection. The needle would not enter his skin. (Serious protection.) She asked him to remove his amulet (affording her a view of it), and was then able to finish her work. How do I know all this, you ask? Good Luck and Protection. Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Pam's Electronic Voice: Culture. Shock.
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2007/05/culture-shock.html
My Little Expat Blog. Sunday, May 13, 2007. After a week in Khlong Lodt village, Trat Province Thailand, the wee family flew to L.A. Yes, from my husband's dusty, little Thai village right smack dab into one of the biggest cities in the USA. (What was I thinking? While my feeble brain continues to chip away at the "where have we landed? I'll miss dipping water out of the clay pots, but boy, that hot shower feels nice! Welcome to your next adventure, Amnat and Jimmy! Looking forward to more :-).

Pam's Electronic Voice: Leaves and Sticks
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2010/01/leaves-and-sticks.html
My Little Expat Blog. Tuesday, January 05, 2010. A Western friend told me once that the Thai word for "container" is leaf. Banana leaves, specifically. Banana plants grow here like weeds. If one starts in your garden, your Thai neighbor will likely as not advise you to pull it out. Once a stand of bananas gets started, it can really take hold. Though he was offered a bamboo stick to eat it with, he protested preferring a spoon. The Bitch Stopped Cooking. Im so glad youre blogging again - in Thailand, too!

Pam's Electronic Voice: Keep a Cool Heart
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2010/01/keep-cool-heart.html
My Little Expat Blog. Friday, January 08, 2010. Keep a Cool Heart. After a few more visits to Thailand and a few years living here, I now understand fully what he was getting at. Thai people do not emote. Not entirely true. They emote in a limited range. Happy is good. Anything else, pretty much bad. So, in Thai language there seems to be no word for "sad." Just "not happy.". I once witnessed a Western guy dressing down a bank teller for some ridiculous banking error, and the entire staff just turned to ...

Pam's Electronic Voice: Spot the Potential Lawsuit 8
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2010/01/spot-potential-lawsuit-8.html
My Little Expat Blog. Monday, January 04, 2010. Spot the Potential Lawsuit 8. Loyal reader, you will of course remember the "Spot the Potential Lawsuit" game. In Thailand, it's just too freakin' easy. Open eyes. Look left. Spot two or three. Look right. Repeat. Since I never tire of this game, I offer you three quick shots in the category "cauldrons of boiling oil (or water).". Labels: Spot the Potential Lawsuit. The Walking Street was our favorite!

Pam's Electronic Voice: Thai Kitchen
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2010/01/thai-kitchen.html
My Little Expat Blog. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. Though there's not a comfortable chair in the place, no chair, in fact, and the motorbike is likely as not parked right in the middle of the living room (it often serves as a chair), I love to visit. Because, Little's Gran can really cook. Her kitchen is nothing to look at, but from this tangle of rubber hoses and jumble of plastic bags, she feeds her family and her neighbors some of the loveliest dishes you could ever hope to eat.

Pam's Electronic Voice: Spot the Potential Lawsuit 1
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2006/11/spot-potential-lawsuit-1.html
My Little Expat Blog. Friday, November 24, 2006. Spot the Potential Lawsuit 1. So, I offer you the first (in a bottomless pit of) entries in "Spot the Potential Lawsuit," a game which I amuse myself with (daily). At least they painted the bamboo red and white. Kept me from falling in feet first. And, if you have a keen eye, you will have noticed that this Potential Lawsuit is indeed just ten feet away from the first entry.

My Little Expat Blog. Sunday, April 08, 2007. I've been very quiet about it, but something big has been brewing for the wee family for some months now; and it's FINALLY here! Yes, three one-way tickets to the USA. The visa came through! Wave bye-bye, indeed! We won't be going by tuk-tuk or by samlor. This will be that big ol' jet plane to L.A. You're going to be here so soon! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Chiang Mai, Thailand. View my complete profile. Spot the Potential Lawsuit.

Pam's Electronic Voice: Green Mango
http://pamselectronicvoice.blogspot.com/2007/04/green-mango.html
My Little Expat Blog. Friday, April 20, 2007. Okay, you know the packing for the big move. Is finished, when I have time for THREE posts in one night.). It's green mango season, and we are flush. This year, for the first time in a long time, all the mango trees in our neighborhood are fruiting. Why? Those lovely bees who swarmed and landed in our garden a few months ago. They've been busy, and we are reaping the reward. You're right. Why would you eat them green, when they are nectar-of-the-gods ripe?

My Little Expat Blog. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Read the number on your stick and choose your fortune from the numbered drawers. Usually addressing issues of money, love, and money.
