I've read most of the book, and found it fairly hard going, and I already have a decent grasp on Thai history, so I wish you the best of luck.<BR/><BR/>I may do another updated review of the book, but we both must be fairly careful about what we say here on the web. I'm living here in San Francisco, and so don't really have much threat, but you living in Chalong is another story, so be careful.<BR/><BR/>I first went to Phuket in 1979! About 5 years ago I was back on the island, and spent some time with some American expat, and we did lunch in Chalong. Superb, but the dude later took me to his pharmacist in Phuket Town where I picked up some totally fake Viagra.<BR/><BR/>I went to Albequerque (that spelling is a bitch) a few years ago on press trip with SATW, and really enjoyed that town, and saw the Latino art show with Cheech Marin's collection, a very, very impressive collection of his art, which is now being shown here in SF.<BR/><BR/>Do send me an email, use my Hotmail email addy, and I'll later pass along my real email addy.<BR/><BR/>Carl ParkesCarl Parkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848939991608402393noreply@blogger.com
