Pattaya Mail Reviews Bangkok Rules Author Wolff has used his time in Thailand very well, and it is obvious that he understands the Thai psyche and its attendant culture. He even comes up with his own definition of ‘Thainess’. “…the foundation of ‘Thainess’ was a desperate ambition to make it from birth to cremation without encountering serious embarrassment.” A few pages later, he opines, “It (Thailand) is a society built on levels of power and bullying and is all part of the norm.” And businessmen discussing “…how they could best steal 1,000 rai of land from the Forestry Department, bribe the Land Department to issue ownership documents, and then put it on the market for a small fortune.” Anyone who has scratched under the Thai smile will attest to this way of business. harlanwolff/2013/07/25/excellent-review-of-bangkok-rules-in-pattaya-mail/
