The Problem With Porn

One Sunday afternoon, I chanced upon a jewelry store with a very explicit name in a ran-down hotel. I wonder what these tourists, mostly semi-backpackers, would think. Would they know that "porn" actually means "blessing" in Thai? If not, these tourists would be looking for the wrong thing in the store. No hidden door leading to a roomful of opium smokers and sins, mate. That you could find at Nana a couple of streets down.
