    If it is his real name, he was a concierge at a posh aussie hotel before becoming a teacher. Wonder why he never mentioned them as possible english teachers?

    The Bangkok Post is the pits. Read the editorials. They range from the juvenile to the simplistic with a detour through however-many-times-I-read-this-sentence-it-still-doesn't-make-sense-ville

    Re: Teacher Harry is having all the fun!

    Maybe he was testing the water for impending novel - a fast-paced, knife-edge, sometimes tragic, oft hilarious, romp through the murky underworld that is teaching in Thailand...
    i'm with you all the way torbek.

    not a bad piece all in all , the guy obviously spent a bit of time on it and i've read worse writers...

    shame that his piece of 'pulp fiction' was presented by a 'quality' of newspaper as a 'news' item. it isn't, at all.

    just another freak on parade pointing his finger at all the other freaks...




    oh, and obviously a guy with high ideas about his own rigtheousness. (what were you doing in that phuket go-go?)

    yeah, well that pic on his website kinda says it all...dick.

    Re: Teacher Harry is having all the fun!

    It gets worse, lots worse.

    Can't tell you who Harry is, try(http://www.phuket-info.com/harry/050612-release1.htm) may give some indication.
    But you could guess what he is [Answers on a posting please to the usual address]


    Harry Nicolaides' Weekly Column

    Exclusively for Phuket-Info.com

    The unholy trinity of Phuket

    What do an American Senator, Nazi war criminal and a magician have in common? Phuket, of course. They have all been swept to the shores of this jewelled isle by the dark undercurrents of their intriguing lives. Here at four degrees north of the equator these men find redemption, absolution and the senator, Vodka Absolute.......



    blah blah blahshit blah (the prequel)

    Written around 03-04-04 and here http://www.phuket-info.com/harry/040403-travel13.htm




    Which bears an uncanny resemblance to

    Exploiting the system, in the guise of 'ajarn'
    The recent arrest of John Karr has raised questions about the types of expatriates working in Thailand's education system. Teacher Harry Nicolaides reveals he sometimes felt he was sharing an office with Hannibal Lector

    What do a disgraced former US state senator, an octogenarian Nazi sympathiser and an Arizona highway patrol officer have in common? They are all teaching English in Thailand, of course. The profession of teaching English in Asia attracts the strangest people. The flotsam and jetsam of the West, many of these ne'er-do-wells wash up on the shoreline of the Third World looking to reinvent themselves like the Count of Monte Cristo, or to champion a cause celebre like Lawrence of Arabia...................

    blah blah blah de blah blah .....yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (the re-make)


    Bangkok Post 22-08-06 The re-make

    Couldn't be @rsed to read any more of his work so I thought I would just do a bit of cut and pasting for your edutainment. Ever get that deja vu feeling, weird, can't think why.

    The more investigative, masochistic types might want to rustle up an e-mail for this character and invite him over for comment.

    And Harry , Phuket is 8 degrees North, facts are important, makes journalism more credible. 98 (ish) East real kudos.

    Love

    Re: Teacher Harry is having all the fun!

    His new novel – VERISIMILITUDE – is a trenchant commentary on the political and social life of contemporary Thailand. It is an uncompromising assault on the patrician values of the monarchy
    uh, oh...perhaps the post would like to know that one of their feature writers has produced an "uncomprimising assault on the patrician values of the monarchy"...

    Re: Teacher Harry is having all the fun!

    Somebody needs to write/respond to The Post about this freak. Nothing more than yet another sexpat with delusions of granduer, in this case it's the shopworn "Writer of Tropical Intrigue" trip. Did they take the time to check this burnout's pathological ramblings on his website? Check out his "Western Union Love," which is simply a disgusting and pretentious "trip report" about his dealings with some apparently underage Phuket prostitute. And I quote:

    "June is a bargirl who works in Patong's Soi Eric. I met her at her bar and have seen her several times over the last month...
    June could have walked out of the pages of Nabocov's salacious and controversial book "Lolita". She was young, playful and sexually alluring. She aroused prurient thoughts of the illicit defilement of a minor.
    She was petite and graceful in proportions, fleet of movement and radiated the innocent charms of a 12 year old girl.
    The night of unbridled sexual passion between June and me was as cataclysmic as a tropical storm. Torrid thrusts and tussles of sweaty lovemaking ended in almost complete physical exhaustion. Breathless and sated we embraced. I wiped June's forehead of perspiration while the small beads of sweat that formed on her upper lip belied a salty hunger for more. Her appetite for sexual fulfillment was insatiable."

    It is people like this that the whole world would be better off without I believe - a very nasty obnoxious piece of lowlife scum IMO.

    I foresee a few letters in the post exposing this fella!

    I have read a fair bit of his stuff and haven't found any redeeming qualities!
