64. A Bangkok Ping Pong Show (A Thai travelogue)

In 2019, I took a 4-country tour of Southeast Asia, a trip which would ultimately influence the development of my Yang-Yoshiko series in 2025. Part of that trip included a visit to a ping pong show at a go-go bar named Suzie Wong, in Soi Cowboy, Bangkok.

I must be doing something right (?) with SEO, because the travelogue I wrote afterwards is consistently the second most popular page on my website. Now I have put that travelogue to the mic.

Next week, I will be premiering a new Olive Yang short story, The Pattaya Gambit, which takes place at a ping pong show. heavily inspired by the events of this travelogue.

Episode is explicit.
