Granted, part of the reason the noms de plume favored by Robert “Bob” Halliday, a longtime columnist for the Bangkok Post who passed away over the weekend, sound so colorful is that they are of a different language. Nevertheless, it’s quite the obituary detail:

Known to his friends as Bob, he was a big-hearted man whose expertise included classical music, literature, cinema and Thai street food. A self-effacing man, he wrote about these subjects with humor, insight and flair under the quirky pseudonyms Ung-Aang Talay, Plalai Faifa and Jingjo Dam Na Buriram.
