It's a joke. I'm sorry you didn't get it.
I'll use less big words next time, okay?
You know, I like jokes and I'm sorry, too, that I wasn't sure if you were joking or not. But I'm especially sorry I offered to explain my comments about this crappy book to you in a sincere fashion, on the chance that you didn't happen to be joking, only to have you come back with the special type of comments that seems to be your trademark.

yes I am not qualified to say how the Thai's ACTUALLYthink....
You could always learn some Thai, talk to them a bit, and find out!
hehe... Sorry, that's my own joke.
However, learning their language, and living with them for years, will indeed give one an idea of what they think about, when they think, of course. They're not an alien species.
Anyway, I thought you were married to a Thai. You don't know how they actually think? By this time, is it still so mysterious to you? What are you saying, man?
By the way: Congratulations on your new addition.
Some comments the author makes in the role of a Thai may be pithy. Why not? He has imagination. But as I said, all that visionary stuff about seeing various peoples past lives as this or that--it's just not a realistic depiction of the daily thoughts of your average Thai person. But also, as I've said, it's a novel and the characters don't have to be entirely realistic. I just wanted to point out the difference in case someone who had little or first contact with them, believed they all were like that.

Seajohn,,,, I continue to expand my very limited knowledge of the Thai language. Yes, I speak with my wife,her parents,brothers, cousins etc, but that does NOT qualify me to say what the majority of Thai's think.
An example closer to home,,,some up to date on international affairs will note todaywas theday"of Apology" to the Aboriginal people of Australia. I speak English quite well, I speak Australian FLUENTLY 
Idiscussed this topic with some 70 people, friends, family,etc. Not one of these people agreed that this should happen,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but the newspapers tell us the vast majority supported this moove? So, I have lived in Australia for 45 years,speak the language and still am NOT qualified to say what the Australian people ACTUALLY think.

Thank you for your testimony, brother. You must never give up.
You are our vanguard now.
And remember that when you do get some clues on what the heck the majority of people in this old world are thinking about, and I'm sure someday you will if you persist like crazy, it may be hard to stomach, but please report.
Those are the kinds of books we're hungry for.
Thailand expects every man to do his booty.

seajohn,fortunately or unfortunately I have spent the majority of my time amongst the Isaan peoples.
I have learned many things,they tend to vote for the party that offers the most cash money,,,they have trouble thinking beyond growing rice,the educational system in this area is considered excellent but merely apes from books and lacks challenge out-side of the square.
As for "knowing" whatthe Thai people in general think,,I leave that to the Thai's,,not a guessing farang.
