Pretty awesome site, kind of stuff people forgot about during the dotcom mishmash. The section on drugs is especially interesting.

Read about my personal fight against drug addiction. Penalties for drug offences are harsh, even death in many cases. Please keep this story to yourself.


Heh.

What he means is don't blab it in Thai.....he writes his story in English for a reason.

Although English is taught in all Thai schools, his level of fluency is rare....his teacher of english is a Westerner. This is also the same gentleman who got him interested in developing a website in the first place....the rest of his instructors would hardly have the language skills to be able to read what he has been up to.

Thanks bunnyfire, this is a great site. I'm getting my secondary school certification in social studies, and I'll keep this on hand for my students. Neat.

Cool site.
So many fewer ping-pong balls than most Thai sites I visit.

Thankyew.....thankyewverrymuch....

seriously, Thailand is a very interesting place-if anyone here ever gets the chance to go visit-go! I spent a couple of weeks in Chang Mai and thereabouts (that's in Northern Thailand) and had a great time.

I hope this kid with the website continues to win his personal battle-I'd hate to see all his accomplishments go down the drain. He had so much going for him...

A place where it's REALLY uncool to get angry has a lot going for it.
Thailand is a drug.

That's just too damn funny, (unless you're a ping pong enthusiast in which case it isn't).
