The other Thailand (from Paul Robere)

A lot has been said about Thailand over the past two months, and while we are close to the conflict we can always escape to other places just a of hours away..

Sadly, the world only sees what is happening in downtown Bangkok (a short distance from me) but not all of the country is like this.

The picture that I just sent you is just a couple of hours away...looks peaceful doesn't it?...and indeed it is.  Here is a little article talking about the "other Thailand" that you might find interesting.
