Outside of the box would have been my previous life in Khon Kaen, where I did actually experience Thailand outside of the bars and tourist
vacations. Most people on the other hand simply view Thailand as a place to get cheap and uneducated ass, but tittle do they know, Asia is taking over, and quickly.
In your previous life in Khon Kaen, apart from the bars and sex tourists, did you feel you'd become so integrated with the culture, that no cultural misunderstandings arose?
