A little dated, but fascinating none the less. Interesting to see from the eyes of someone learning about a new culture. This author did love the world she entered which gave the book a wonderful atmosphere. I will share this with my Mama. I'm sure she will enjoy it.
Wish I could upload the original cover; it is so charming and colorful. Fabulous book about confronting and transcending our ethnocentriciy. Wonderful (if dated) insights into Thai culture (from a western perspective, of course).
If you are a teacher, of anything, you will LOVE this book, I promise!

Tales of an English as a foreign language teacher in Thailand. Rings true according to my experience of living there. Described Thai's writing English as putting all the words for sentence into a Yatzee shaker and then dumping them out in an inscrutable order.
