Vanity of vanities! This is to tell you two things.
Firstly my new book, MY THAI GIRL AND I is on Asia Books' bestseller list. Amazing!
More importantly, for anyone interested in Thailand there's a great new on-line listing of the top hundred blogs about the Kingdom.
If you go to www.whatismatt.com/top100/ you'll find them listed on a combination of Page Rank, Technorati (WhatisTechnorati?!) and user votes. (Or click on the link to the right and at his home page click 'Top 100'.)
So if you've enjoyed my blog, please vote for THAI GIRL! Scroll down to find THAI GIRL and click on the fifth star! The traffic on this blog is not massive so, just like Hillary, I need your votes.
Vanities apart, the Top 100 is an excellent listing and I have found some fascinating and useful sites about Thailand that I didn't know existed.
Matt himself is a young Englishman who was working in Bangkok but has now escaped to Phuket where he is a freelance journalist. The byeline on his very popular blog is 'The Lost Boy'. Matt is a fan of the late singer songwriter, Nick Drake. Sometime ago there was a documentary about Nick which was called 'The Lost Boy', hence the name.
Matt was intrigued when I told him that Nick was my childhood friend and that on the new CD of his early recordings called 'Family Tree' one of the essays about Nick in the sleeve notes is by none other than me.

Songkran: Is this really just a photo of your jeep?
Hey Anon.
That's exactly what it is.
In the new book my black jeep doesn't come out too well so I'm trying to sell it before anyone reads about its murky past.
So I've had it resprayed silver and fitted a bull bar on the front and there it is in the picture.
Read the book yet? Any offers? It's a great jeep.

Do you have any pages to share from your book? How do you like Surin? Its one of the poorest parts of Thailand. Where and how did you meet your thai girl? YOur well educated is your Thai girl educated? Poor? Maybe I should get your book! Why did it go to be such a good seller? Do you ever go to Speed disco??
Well I suppose I should leave a link here to my website.. sorry for the double post
