The clothes horse is in clover
Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 06/06/2010
» Just arrived back from a clothes shopping trip in Los Angeles. Hardly justification for a column, I know, but bear with me. Things get a little more deep and meaningful as we progress.

Edible kitty litter, Viagra & Odourless cat's urine
Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 30/05/2010
» One of the first things I become expert at whenever I visit the United States is its television. I have no choice in the matter. Over here in the States I'm awake when I'm asleep in Bangkok, and jetlag thus hits me like a Northeastern truck driver on methamphetamines.

Breaking News!
Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 23/05/2010
» Back in 1989 I was a journalist working for a daily newspaper in Australia, and one of the very last assignments I had before embarking on my trip to Thailand was one of the toughest.

Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 04/04/2010
» 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. Sanam Luang is the last remaining large tract of land in central Bangkok that hasn't been cemented over to make way for shophouses selling car parts or cheap cloth which, upon coming into contact with an errant cigarette, quickly introduces you to the perils of self-immolation.

Plain bloody minded
Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 21/03/2010
