Welcome to Litsy!

Such a disappointing read...I wanted to learn about the country and its people...but there is literally nothing on early history or nation building or actually anything much on culture (history starts 1930🙄). Everything is portrayed with a negative view (Buddhist Monasteries -> corruption and discrimination, national holiday --> public disturbance and excess drinking, etc.).
That's a big fail on #foodandlit this month

My easy take on Thai Green Curry when there's not much left in the house but there is green paste and some veggies. Turned out alright!

The book has a very specific take on telling Thailand's history. Halfway through I am still stuck with more recent history that of course makes limited sense to me as the author chose to start with that without any general introduction to the country...
