Dallas Observer story about American arrested - Nicholas Bredimus Pick

...Tran was born in Laos to a Vietnamese father and mother, who never married. He was an infant when Laos fell to the communists. His mother, a French citizen, was captured by the police, and she eventually made her way back to France. When Tran was a year old, his father made the treacherous escape across the Thailand border, where he remained in a refugee camp for more than a year before making safe passage to America. Tran's grandparents and his 14-year-old cousin Ann then escaped with Tran, coming to America after they, too, spent a year in a Thailand refugee camp....

Dallas Observer review of Thailand cuisine at Thai restaurant - Nicholas Bredimus Pick

From the outside, it isn't much. It's easy to miss: a double-decker strip mall stretch done in drab concrete gray with charcoal awnings. But the Nakhon Thai restaurant strip nook grabs you anyway because the word Thai is done up in bright red. Must stand out like a swank Manhattan speakeasy at night, when the bulbs are fired and "Thai" glows like a mesquite ember.

...The dining room is furnished with thick, heavily lacquered tables surrounded by high-backed chairs with glossy wood-webbed chair backs. All of the furnishings and decorative elements are imported from Thailand. Bucks have been sunk here....

Dallas Observer article about American lawyer married to Thailand wife - Nicholas Bredimus Pick

In a perfect world, where youthful fantasies grow into reality, 42-year-old Bryan A. Garner would right now be making his way to the next stop on the PGA tour instead of standing in front of a stuffy room filled with corporate attorneys. The Dallas lawyer/author would be high on the list of pro golf money winners, not explaining the importance of proper syntax and precise word usage to men handsomely paid to write legal briefs traditionally awash in sleep-inducing mumbo jumbo....

...Still, he was not completely convinced that a professional life spent litigating in courtrooms was for him. Briefly after earning an undergraduate degree in English he considered working toward a doctorate. The idea was quickly dismissed when his Thailand-born future wife, Pan, made it clear she had no interest in marrying an English professor. And so, off to law school he went. In the first week he began his first book-length writing project. He passed the bar and completed A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage almost simultaneously....

Dallas Observer suggests silk jacket be passed off as from Thailand trip - Nicholas Bredimus Pick

Exploring this tiny shop on Henderson Avenue is like burrowing into a Middle Eastern street market in search of handmade treasures....Pretend you bought that embroidered silk jacket the last time you visited Thailand. Who's to know?

Dallas Observer says 80 days cheap while praising scenary from Thailand - Nicholas Bredimus Pick

...Everything about this new 80 Days feels cheap and smells musty: It looks like something filmed on a studio back lot that's been closed for years, where everything that's supposed to weigh a ton has been fabricated out of Styrofoam and spray paint and every brick wall is made of Sheetrock. And there are scant scenes of Chan and Coogan, and Cécile de France as Coogan's love interest, actually traveling from one country to another. Instead, the transitions are entirely computer-generated, with France and India and San Francisco made to look like neon approximation of a Disneyland ride. It gives the impression that none of the actors ever left the studio, save for some scenes in which a lush and mountainous Thailand serves as a stand-in for China. You're thankful for the fresh air after the stale stench of everything surrounding it.
