Publisher's Synopsis
A Frenchman fortuitously becomes a teacher in Thailand. He is hired by a high school, where he teaches English and French. He also gives lessons, in language schools and to private students. He narrates his daily expat life, which informs us about the Thai way of life. His observations on the Thai National Education are described, through daily facts, not without some sense of humor and in various areas. Incidentally, the French national education is not free of harsh criticism. Military coups and catastrophic floods disrupt the rhythm of life. References to history, to the authentic culture of the country and the great precepts of Buddhism, which are omnipresent in the Thai way of life, lead to a better understanding of the differences between two cultures and civilizations, which at first glance, do not fail to amaze the reader. An informative journal, on the day to day life of a foreign teacher, working and living in the land of smiles.
