September 3, 201412 yr Vaguely remember reading his columns in the Bangkok Post http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2014/08/26/night-prowl-legendary-lechery-bernard-nite-owl-trink
September 3, 201412 yr Unfortunately, by the time I read the first of his columns, they were very tame or family-friendly already. So I never understood what all the fuss is about, until I read more about his "history".
September 4, 201412 yr I remember seeing him in The Bull's Head on Sukhumvit 33/1 years ago; he was exactly what I expected ----- trousers pulled up to his nipples with belt and braces. I don't recall if he ever reviewed gay places but he was always entertaining. And he invented TIT (This Is Thailand).
September 6, 201412 yr was thrown out of the BKK-post=-after his columns were reduced in size several times, due to this changed to family-aimed direction. More-all his columns after a while seemed to consist of the same frases: keep them coming, please (readers tips), TiTs, mosey-on-over, and he rode the buses. Wondr how much he got paid/donated by the bisnis he favored. He did once in a while write about gays-usually excusing he was not into it, I only remember he only once gave an anti-advice for Midnite cowboy in Sapan Kwai (whcih at that time ws well-deserved, as it did indeed was in a temporary dip then). But failed to mention the recovery after. Most of his columns were bundled some time-maybe still for sale in forgotten stocks.
September 9, 201412 yr Author No, he did not die as far as I know. Just found this and thought it was an interesting read, remembering all his articles. Also thought it was interesting to see a picture of a guy I had read from afar for years.
September 10, 201412 yr Glad to hear that ..... sort of thought this thread started out as an IN MEMORIAM ..... have always liked Trink .... unfortunately all we get from him for the last couple of years are his Monday BKK Post book reviews.
