Andrew,

We thank you, in advance, for all of those future books!

Somehow I suspect that your trips to Bangkok and back to England are very important to your happiness - and think of all those exotic destinations - Bali, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore but a hop, skip and jump away from Isaan. Still, I'll bet top of the heap, when you can, is that trip back to Old Blighty, the land of your birth, where you can have conversations in your native tongue, enjoy friends and family and enjoy a great batch of fish and chips washed down by a good ale.

Between those trips you can entertain and educate us with your great stories of life, love and adventure as a farang in Isaan, Thailand having no idea what anyone is saying, as ofter as not being the butt of a warm joke, fencing with your wife over the funding of that next hair-brained project and finding ways to stay relevant by your own measure. Good luck with the grass lawn!

If I may suggest, why not a book about farang love, courting and marriage in Thailand since that'seems THE main reason we come to Thialand in the first place to spend our "golden years" and put up with a government that wants our money but not us. Thanks again for the great book, "My Thai Girl and I".

I'm thinking of a new title which shouldn't take too long to put together.

It will be one in a "Do It Yourself" series of books and it will have a picture of a Thai goddess on the front.

It will be called, "All I Know About Thai Ladies" by Andrew Hicks and the inside will be blank white paper.

As a "do it yourself" book, it will then be for the buyer to write the text.

It might even sell!

You see Andrew, you are clearly heading for arhat status. You already realise that the more you know, the less you understand... (apologies for the paradox)

Hence the alleged wisdom of simplicity?
