Book Description
Are you thinking of visiting or moving to Thailand?
Come and travel to Thailand now.
Come and fall in love with its land, culture, and people, and then make your decision!

The author arrived in Thailand and stayed for a month, and soon returned to this country — bringing her 88 year old father with her. And why? Because she immediately became aware that the land, culture, and people mirrored what her heart had been starving for – simple, basic values; an acknowledgment that it’s the heart that carries the juiciness of life itself. And it’s a culture that respects elders.

Her father’s last days as spent in Thailand are rich, and his death is graceful. She is supported by her Thai neighbors throughout the process of his waning life and death. And Thailand begins to crack her open, soften her heart. And she begins to realize how cynical she had become, influenced by her Western culture.

Not only does this book introduce us to Thailand, but it also subtly explores how culture shapes who we think we are and how we meet life.

In the process of telling its tale, we learn about Thailand’s rice culture, Buddhism, the Thai language, bits about her history and food, and we visit Bangkok, as well as small town village life.
