Expat's Tales

Working in Thailand - how is that ?
my very personal and very subjective impressions

I'd like to thank the following outside-parties who made my stay in Thailand so much nicer:

The US Military: .. for their GPS that allowed me to move freely and safely around Thailand; .. for their Internet, which kept me in touch with the world and provided me with know-how otherwise not available
.. for their MREs which fed me in the wilderness and prevented me from diarrhoea
The Frauenhofer Institut / Germany: .. for MP3 which sparked a huge music-piracy industry down here, keeping me in touch with the western culture
The foreign industry in general: .. for making products that work (or fixing them otherwise). Special thanks to
Garmin / KS, USA, for their excellent service on all my GPS receivers which broke down,
Laser Products / CA, USA for their exceptional flashlights which protected me from serious trouble,
Lonely Planet for their incorrect but unsurpassed guidebooks and maps, which helped travelling the region
