The Lost Girls - August, 2008
A reader points out: Hey, something new: About 2/3 down the
page... Someone (3 American girls on a world tour, that is) actually
praises Suvarnabhumi Airport and Bangkok cabbies for a change (but
thinks the Skytrain is a "monorail", Thai 7-Elevens don't have Slurpees
and Big Gulps, and the waiing Ronald McDonald is "praying").
Referring to the king as a "royal highness" instead of His Majesty is a
widespread error and may be forgiven (by me; not necessarily by the
lese majeste law!) Also interesting the part about the Gem District
(not scam)...
