Ghandi, like many males from the sub continent and other parts of asia are more flexible and fluid about sexuality, there was never the word 'gay' in the thai language and probably still is not, corrrect me if I am wrong..

A few years back we were staying at a resort on Koh Chang....my friend showered and was thrown on the ground....we called for manager and no body came for ages...when we were checking out there was a couple, and she too was thrown in the shower by the electricity not being earthed, and taken to hospital for an ECG...my friend pestered them by email from australia and they offered a free holiday at the same resort....No way Jose..

Also, in Bangkok, there are little "portacabins" set up at intervals along Charoenrad Road (between Rama 3 and Sathorn Road) which are little community libraries. One is always closed but the other seems to have a group of local ladies doing aerobics or having a chat outside it early in the morning and it seems to be open every day.

And, I even saw a mobile library van parked on the beachfront in Songhkla once. Clearly marked as such in English and Thai. I was so amazed. I couldn't see if it was open, otherwise I'd have taken a closer look. Never seen it since or anywhere else in Thailand.

Lumpini park actually has a small library. And in Rajavithi Rd, not far from Victory, there is a new library. From my observation, though, both are heavily equipped with glorification of a certain family.

I walked past that Library so many times, I was also a volunteer at Neilson Hayes Library in Suriwonf for several year....the average thai reads one A3 page a year...I may be wrong but remember that stat...
