One was Lord Semphill. In 1941 he reported on discussions between Roosevelt and Churchill which showed much of the American fleet was deployed in the Atlantic and could not respond to an attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite knowledge of his treachery becoming known, the British took no action against him beyond a demotion.
The other spy was Frederick Rutland who also helped to develop the Japanese carrier fleet. Later he moved to Hawaii where he worked for US military companies whose secrets he sent to Tokyo. In 1941 he sent photographs of Pearl Harbor to Japan. He was detained during the war but never prosecuted.

Reading the Sunday Stickman section he again waxes poetic about the advantages of a pale slight featured Northern see (Thai Chinese) waif of a woman.
Do you think it is possible that Stick is a medium paced bowler too?

Thailand Really Likes Old Western Guys
2012-04-06 09:37:40
I am reminded reading threads here how much I like Thailand, why and how utterly clueless some people posting on Thai Visa are.
Once you get out of places like Bangkok and Phuket and into the real Thailand it becomes quite obvious just how much Thai people like old Western guys.
More and more every year old Western guys come to Thailand to retire and take advantage of the positive attitude and deference that age is shown in Asia in general and Thailand specifically.
I can go out to eat and party with three generations every day if I want with no one thinking it unusual.
Mom and Pop, grandmother and grandfather and the teenage kids regularly eat out together and go to concerts of artists both current and old fashioned. The kids like both genres of music and dancing.
No one thinks it odd if I dance with granny (80 years) and dek lek (5 years old) and my GF (30 years old), frankly all the females like to dance. Age never is a consideration.
In the West families don't party or dine together on a regular basis any more. In Thailand except for the Sh** holes where Western influence is becoming more pervasive like Bangkok and Phuket families still act like families.
Tomorrow I am going to the beach with the whole family and dinner and a concert after dinner. The ages range from 2 to 75 and everyone will have a good time and take photos and post them on face book. The teens won't be ashamed of dancing with the old Farang. I might even play the guitar on stage a bit.
It is changing. You only have to look at the Big Smoke (Bangkok) or the Big Joke (Phuket) to see the future. But for now life in the hinterlands is good and still respectful to us old codgers with one foot in the coffin.

Stickman'S April Fools Contribution.

Everybody knows about Thai Visa's odd sense of April fools humor but it appears Stickman has joined the tasteless trend. Below is Stick's contribution to The April fools parade.

"It would seem that Thailand is about to join its neighbours in making a greater effort to protect its women who work in the sector of the commercial sex industry which targets foreign men. Two new regulations soon to be implemented will change the foreign sector of Thailand's commercial sex industry forever."
"The first regulation is the Foreign Service Worker's Card."
"The second new regulation which, will also be put in place early in second half of the year, requires hotels to register sex workers accompanying a foreign customer to his hotel."

I Didn'T Have A Stroke.
2012-02-05 09:50:54
A couple of weeks ago I was preparing for a stroke and wrote a post to that effect. http://www.thaivisa....thai-hospital/.
Sheryl gave me some excellent advice.
I ended up having chest pains while I was close to Bangkok Rayong hospital. Not severe chest pains but I thought the pain and tight feeling was a symptom of something more serious. I was waiting to eat when I began to sweat profusely, feel nauseous, dizzy and began to have pain in my chest.
I went home first and laid down but it did not get better so I arranged transportation to the hospital. We got there at 7PM and the heart specialist wanted to transfer me to Bangkok Pattaya (two hour drive) for a balloon and stent thing. He had done an EKG and was looking at a ultrasound of my beating heart while he talked to me. I was kind of surprised Bangkok Rayong did not do the procedure. I asked him about Sirikit thinking it would be cheaper but he told me Siriket did not do it. He said Bangkok Pattaya charged around 300,000 Baht so I told him to try something less expensive and we settled on the clot busting drug which was around 100,000 baht for the drug.
I took a lot of drugs and was in the ICU for 3 days hooked up to monitors and two days in a normal room. It appears to have worked as my BP has gone from 180/90 to 130/70 with my pulse 50. While I was in the hospital my BP went very low 100 and 90/50. The total cost was around 178,000 baht for the ICU, drugs, doctors and everything. They gave me a stress test (running on a treadmill hooked up to an EKG) before I left the hospital and it did stress me a bit but I passed the test so apparently the clot busting thing worked. There was some doubt I got there in time. I couldn't remember if the event occurred 3 or 4 hours before.
In addition to the clot busting drugs or maybe part of the treatment they gave me injections in my stomach twice a day for 4 days that have turned a football sized area of my stomach black and blue since I have been home. Some of the nurses gave the stomach injections without pain and others hurt like heck.
