Interesting that thing about the man-wife driver-collector teams in buses.

* In 1989 Billy Idol caused $140,000 worth of damage while partying in a penthouse suite in a hotel. Billy Idol was asked to leave. When he refused, he was promptly tied to a stretcher by Thai soldiers and escorted from the country.

I find that $140k figure difficult to believe.

The original Star of Love bar on PP2 had the name for years but never registered it. The Star of Love in PP1 regsitered the name. Hence the rename of original bar to Star of Light.

Yes...I agree with sealbash...foreign names certainly are allowed on thai passports, though these people named were many years ago....so maybe it was different then.

Long ago you had to change to a Thai sounding name to get Thai nationality. I do not know about now.

New Thai names are being made and given every so often. A short Thai last name is sign of coming from an "authentically" old Thai family.

* On buses, a lot of farecollectors and drivers are man and wife.

* One of the first Soi 33's bars was Monet, but was called Manet for years because of an error of the sign maker.



And very often they live in the busses with their families. Many (little green ones, route No. 14?) park up overnight on Thanon Nakhon Chai Sri in Dusit.

A couple of friends of mine are married to Thais and have children. Apparently there is a short list of allowed 'Western' names when you register a birth. These appear on ID cards (and passports). They seem to be exclusively 'Christian', e.g. James is an allowed Thai name.
