Unplugged in Gadget Mad LA
Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 18/04/2010
» America has gone iPad crazy. I know. I'm here witnessing it first-hand. No clever observances about Thai life this week. It's hard to write a breezy column about the nuances and idiosyncrasies of Thai life when the country is descending into anarchy and mob rule.

Who knows what the future brings?
Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 16/05/2010

» The recent decision to close down Sanam Luang for renovations has sent me on a trip down memory lane, reminding me of a day when I went there deliberately to get ripped off.

Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 31/01/2010
» It is 9:30am in a hotel in the far, far northeast of Thailand, last Sunday to be exact. In 15 minutes I have to be onstage to give a speech, and I have detoured into the hotel's all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast.
