I Heart Chaos

In Thailand you have to make your own trailer for Iron Man.

Deadly wasp named for Kill Bill’s Beatrix Kiddo

A recently discovered wasp in Thailand, whose yellow color and lethal behavior make it a dangerous bug among dangerous bugs was given the official name of Cystomastacoides kiddo, named after Uma Thurman’s deadly assassin, Beatrix Kiddo, in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill movies.

IHC After Dark: Tune in, turn on and listen to some Thai psychedelic rock

Thai musical congregation Khun Narin Phin Sing, from the Phetchabun Province, conjures up some mystical vibes in their indescribably beautiful psychedelia. Google translates the song title and YouTube uploader quite trippingly as “Khun Narin Racing Harp” posted by “Melting The Drug.” The spacey guitar sound is emanating from a phin, which is a type of two to three-stringed lute popular in Thailand and Laos.

Elephant poop coffee is the new civet poop coffee

It used to be that kopi luwak, coffee processed through the bowels of civets, was the top end of high priced and rare coffee. But now, at $50 a cup, Black Ivory coffee is the new hotness. And instead of going through the bowls of a cat, it goes through the bowels of a Thai elephant. Mmm.

If you’re in Thailand and an old man says he can give you a tattoo that makes you invincible, it’s probably bullshit

It’s a really damn nice looking tattoo, but the tattoo artist was apparently making money by telling people his tattoos would protect them from knives or guns. Didn’t work.

Large groups of teens, claiming to be followers of Ajarn Ton, would gather in crowded areas like markets or at carnivals to see if anyone wielding a weapon could hurt them. They truly believed his tattoos would protect them against gunshots, knifes, or whatever anyone attacked them with, but as Major General Kanisorn Noinard from the local police told AFP, “every single one of them was injured”.

Gangnam Style dance competition turns violent in Bangkok

Normally, a whole bunch of people getting together to Gangnam Style would be a joyous occasion. Except at a club in Bangkok, where a Gangnam Style dance contest turned into a gun fight after two rival teenage gangs took offense to each other’s sick dance moves.

For some reason, the hottest fashion accessory this year in Bangkok is Hitler

Since they were on the other side of the world while Hitler was trying to take over Europe in the 1940s, I guess it’s understandable that the average teenage Thai is pretty far removed emotionally from the idea of Hitler. But it’s still odd that this year, Hitler seems to be the hottest fashion accessory in Bangkok.

Thaitanic.

Oh, and here’s a tiny monkey nibbling on a transvestite’s ear

Julian, a two-month old pet monkey, bites the right ear of Kan, a transvestite performer, backstage at the Tiffany’s Show in Pattaya, Thailand, February 10, 2012. The first Tiffany’s Show was performed as a one-man show for friends on New Year’s Eve in 1974. It has since become a world famous transvestite cabaret with dozens of artists performing every night.

Massive flooding in Thailand means a hard drive shortage in the short term

You lost everything? But where am I going to store all my extra porn?

Floods in Bangkok and throughout the rest of Thailand is already resulting in hard drive shortages and higher prices, with the Seagate and Western Digital factories in Thailand pretty hard hit. So if you’re looking to get an external drive in the near future, might snag one now, since there might be a hard drive shortage for a bit.

There’s having fun while you’re playing an arcade shooter and then there’s acting out every bit of the action in front of the screen.

Thailand trying to keep its young people from turning into Nazis

With a strong tide of nationalism and a gross misunderstanding of history, some young people in Thailand are adopting the dress, symbols and message of the Nazi Party. The above photos are from a mock Nazi parade put on by students at the Sacred Heart School in Chiang Mai, and they’ve upset not only Thai officials, but people around the world.
