SandwichesShouldNeverTasteLikeCowCrap.jpegSandwiches Should NEVER Taste Like Cow Crap by Dave Lowe (published by Manta Press in 2008) is a tasty stew of stories from life on the Lowe Road.

Starting with strip searches at foreign customs, run-ins with tatami dragon ladies, rides aboard horny camels, shots fired by AK-47's, wheels breaking off taxis and more than a flightmare or two - Dave's travelogue poses a question: Are his size 13 shoes spreading mayhem and chaos with each step?

Only the Travel Gods know for sure.....

Big Trouble in Tourist Thailand

DateSunday, December 27, 2009 at 8:50PM

For years the scams aimed at snaring tourists in Thailand - from fake gems to longer tuk tu rides to a recent trap at Bangkok's airport (on a recent flight out of Thailand's capital on Singapore Airlines, cabin crew were furiously filling out duty free orders, so frightened were passengers even to set foot within a King Power Duty Free shop) did nothing to dampen the number of visitors to the Land of Smiles. 

Bravo TV's latest program, Big Trouble in Tourist Thailand, sheds light on the scams faced by tourists in Phuket, Samui, Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and while it is sensationalist and maybe a bit heavy handed, Thailand, like other popular tourist hotspots, has a dark underbelly.
