Fee ducked down to Bangkok at the beginning of this past week, managing to steer clear of the protests and bus/train slowdowns, for a 2-day Palliative Care conference at Chulalongkorn Hospital. A good kick-off to her research year, and a chance to reintroduce herself to a few of the organizers. She even made new friends at the lunch counter. (Thais are good at cutting the 'cafeteria dining = middle school insecurity' connection.)
On the ongoing events in Bangkok, we’ll sidestep direct political talk on this blog, but for those interested in the fascinating world of Thai politics – a world in which the PAD ( People’s Alliance for Democracy) is calling for appointed rather than elected seats of parliament) – we suggest a look at the Sovereign Myth and New Mandala Blogs.
While we’re on the links, here is a terrific food blog – mostly about Bangkok street food, but posts from the rest of Thailand as well.
