Mr. Know It All
March 3rd, 2010
Dear Mr. KIA, In a non-creepy sort of way, I really enjoy people watching. Mostly for inspiration with my writing or for street fashion styles. Where are the best places in Bangkok where I can sit down, grab a cup of tea that isn’t entirely overpriced, and gaze out on the passing people? Would it be impossible to ask for free wifi as well? —The Observer

Dear Mr. KIA, I’ve been working at the same company for ages. While I love my job and I’ve had a few promotions, I really don’t see going much further career-wise if I stay where I am. Reading your cover story on career changes a couple of weeks ago really inspired me to finally do something.

Dear Mr. KIA, I managed to really upset my little nephew recently when I had to tell him I wouldn’t be around the city on Children’s Day. He really looks up to me, so I feel pretty lousy. Can you tell me where in Bangkok I could entertain a six-year old boy that doesn’t involve a noisy arcade and endless games of Zombie Killer 27. —Activity Please

Dear Mr. KIA, I am planning to move in with my boyfriend very soon so I am cleaning out my place, ready to put it up for rent. Thing is, when I started to pack up, I found a mountain of books I wasn’t into anymore (most of them are old comics). Can you tell me where I can give them to someone who might get a kick out of my dog-eared mangas.

Dear Mr. KIA, My friends and I are football crazy but have been more concerned with watching games on TV than actually running around after a ball of late. Still, the impending World Cup next year has got us inspired to do something about our beer bellies and start playing again.

Dear Mr. KIA, Do you know where I can buy an adjustable height desk in Bangkok? It needs to be adjustable from a height of about 26 inches to 47 inches. I know that sounds weird but I’m in the building trade and sometimes work sitting down and sometimes standing. Kind of depends what I am working on, and my mood of course. Thanks in advance —Roger the Contractor

Dear Mr. KIA, For our 7th anniversary, I don’t think my wife’s going to be satisfied with a boring, old candlelit dinner. I need to make this one extra special. I’m a pretty good cook, so what worries me is the candles bit. I’m looking for a specialty candle shop which offers candles in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Dear Mr. KIA, I was never bothered about horoscope services before but now things have changed since I started planning for my wedding, which is going to happen some time at the beginning of next year. My future wife is keen to use them to find the most auspicious wedding date and also get a bit of life prediction.

Dear Mr. KIA, My Japanese friend and her baby daughter just moved here to settle down with me in BKK. Now I love her daughter to bits, but it’s really time she started school. Especially since her nanny just quit. I’m just not sure how much longer our neighbors will put up with the noise she makes.
November 4th, 2009
Dear Mr. KIA, I’m a huge fan of America’s Next Top Model and I would love to strut my stuff down the catwalk. Trouble is, I’m just way too short to be a model. So I reckon the next best thing is to become one of those professional makeup artists responsible for making them all look so fabulous. Mr.
