We flew from Chiang Rai to Bangkok, landed at the old airport, slid around the Yellows and Reds. By the way, the people of Thailand love ad adore their King, the Father. Everything else they tolerate. The Yellows and Reds, fractions of power bases, egos and lots of money. It is put to rest now. Their action has cost money, job loss and hardship.
As Dylan says; "We live in a political world, Love don't have any place. We're living in times where men commit crimes And crime don't have a face."
That about wraps up the story of greed as I see it here in Thailand, corrupt politicians were ousted. They should have surrendered to ethics when caught, but then… we live in a political world. Perhaps Obama will give that idea new dignity.
Tha-it Islamic School smiles

So we arrived in Bangkok at mid-day and went to the Thai-It Islamic School. A little intimidating to me, but a very warm and open group of young students. In fact in certain wys more alive and alert than any other school group we taught. They were polite, attentive and fun.
I did my lecture, got interviewed for the morning television program in Bangkok, and then we flew to the Northeast; to Khon Kaen.
