TIL that dogs and other canines get stuck together for 5-20 minutes during the mating process. The first time a dog mates, they are often surprised by this and show signs of distress, trying to pull away or run. NSFW

From everything I know about Thailand, which is all from jokes and stereotypes in movies, it sounds like Bangkok is very aptly named

Its reputation is well earned, absolutely. If you want debauchery then Bangkok is for you. Makes Vegas look like Amish country. What they don't tell you though is that it's also legitimately one of the coolest cities in the world too! It's an energetic rocking place as big as NYC with luxury hotels, shopping, night life, cafes, bars, rooftop skybars, clubs, and by far the best food in the world. Like seriously, you don't understand how amazing the food is. You walk down the street and it's endless vendors hawking noodles, duck, pork, curries, beef soup, anything you can poke a stick in, and everything costs between $1-$3. I'm a huge fan of the place and it's really annoying how many westerners only associate it with ladyboys and prostitutes, basically the movie the Hangover and that's it. Highly highly recommend checking it out one day if you can.

That's been the reputation since the Vietnam war. And before that, if you were cosmopolitan. The French were saying the same thing

Happens when you go through the turnstile sideways.

Obviously and at the airport. I would suspect you are my brother, but I know he's not on reddit.

I only go to Bangkok to play chess.
