In response to “Where are all you good people?“ (5 Jan 2010): I have been living and teaching in Bangkok for three years and I would love to know the answer to that question. When I first arrived here, I actually met a woman friend through the ajarn.com blog. We lost touch, but through her I met another woman who has become a very good friend. She’s since left Thailand, but we email often and I know we’ll see each other again.
So if you’re keeping track, that means I have zero friends in Bangkok right now. Pitiful, huh? And sadly, that’s the way it is here. Oh sure, I have lots of teacher room friends, but they’re mostly male and mostly have Thai girlfriends. So, Vicky, I don’t know the answer to your question. I wish I did.
