Rural/farmers mainly some variation on theme of native Thais. Lots of difference and friction. Note recent (and continuing) communal strife that has brought down successive governments in violent clashes.<br /><br />As for gentle Thai Buddhism, the dog-in-road anecdote was cute, but your observation/conclusion misses the mark.<br /><br />Keep on bloggin'!Dick Birnbaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067134616731199071.post-24820510099779675712012-02-07T08:14:59.052-07:002012-02-07T08:14:59.052-07:00Hal!
