This article contains a number of laughs about life in LOS and even mentions Phil's own Ajarn.com enterprise...worth a read:

Agree, good read.

interesting read indeed!

Cute. It's interesting to see that Ajarn.com (and its ADD offspring, ajarnforum) have become sufficiently well-known for this sort of thing to be written.

"To foreigners like me, the language barrier is no more than an irritant. To the Thais, it can be a serious impediment to coping in the world outside their borders - and that is a much more important consideration nowadays than it was 20 or even 10 years ago. "

Uh...yeah...how many Thai people really need to cope outside of their borders? They don't have to, hence their inability to speak anything other than Thai. They don't need to speak English.

The rest of the article is dead-on though--. Happy to leave the absurd, non-sensical aspects of Thailand behind...although I've found myself on the opposite side of the same coin here.

The frustrating thing is that i find myself on both sides of the same coin.

...I love to hate it here.

dong, the Thais will continue to believe their sex industry will always keep the money flowing in.
if they ever really had to rely on just beach resort or temple visit type tourism, this economy would seriously collapse.
