A notorious fan of Thailand for decades is allowed to depict not only the "Land of Smiles" in his sketches and snapshots. The tears of the land and its people do not escape the heart's gaze. Nevertheless, if there were an award for nations against the seriousness of life, the Thais would be the most deserving candidates. Thailand is not the remainder of paradise, truly not, and not the dreamland as portrayed in the glossy brochure that creates the illusion that there are no grumpy faces and dark sides in the Land of Smiles. However, exploring the uniqueness of Thailand and its people is an unforgettable experience and adventure. This little book is an invitation to accompany the author on his journalistic excursions into hidden corners, away from the beaten paths. It serves as a compass for explorers. Welcome to Muang Thai.
