Bangkok Vice: Day 3 | Print |  E-mail


In his third entry of the 10-part series on Thailand traveling, Slate's Mathew Polly discusses the violent sport of Muay Thai at Rajadamnoen Stadium, the term "Butterfly" used to describe promiscuous Thai men, ping pong shows at Patpong, how his father once told him that Thai women were "delicate," yet warned him that were also akin to "fire ships," and beautiful looking kathoeys.

A fire ship is a ship filled with combustibles, deliberately set on fire and steered (or, if possible, allowed to drift) into an enemy fleet, in order to destroy ships, or to create panic and make the enemy break formation.
