For Bernard Trink, seen here in the Bangkok Post newsroom in 2010, the typewriter was always his word processor of choice. (Photo: Sayant Pornnantharat)Bernard Trink, one of the most memorable figures in the long history of the Bangkok Post, has passed away at the age of 89. Trink was best known for his Nite Owl column, a freewheeling weekly chronicle of the seamier side of the city’s vibrant nightlife scene. “Nite Owl” began life in the World as a three-page illustrated section that appeared every Friday afternoon. The end of “Nite Owl” finally came in December 2003, with no announcement or farewell party.
