Mr. Benny and His Bones
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 12.04.02 | 4:11 PM ET
Rolf Potts moved to Ranong, Thailand to work on his book. He didn’t plan to socialize, and he didn’t want any distractions. But that was before he visited Mr. Benny’s barbershop for a trim. As Mr. Benny worked on Potts’ hair, he told him a captivating tale of grave robbing and bone smuggling, and Potts couldn’t help but return for more.
“In sharing the bizarre tale of his dead uncle, Mr Benny had broken through my tunnel vision and allowed me to glimpse a piece of Ranong for the first time,” Potts writes on Lonely Planet online.
The piece is featured in A House Somewhere: Tales of Life Abroad, Lonely Plant’s new story collection.
