Working As A Stuntman In Thailand

Though it does have some major advantages here like they make about 30 movies a year, it is an emerging player on the world scene, working on the islands and beaches is fun, this is the new center of action movies for Asia, and the lowcost of living here (if you come from the West).

There are some major disadvantages and difficulties too, more so if you are a stuntman... 

Tiger Airways (Singapore) Inflight Magazine Tiger Tales Does An Article On Me

Tiger Airways interview? OK. So I now appear in Tiger Tales.

I sat down with a fellow Aussie ex-pat and journalist, Kerrie Hall, at the begining of the year and answered her questions on being so tall in a short person country.

Kerrie is an independant journalist based in Phuket and writes for a variety of magazines, this particular meeting was for Tiger Airways (Singapore) inflight magazine called Tiger Tales.

I have had several strangers approach me now having seen me in the Tiger Airways magazine, plus two friends who flew saw me in Tiger Tales and emailed me some photos from their mobile phones....
