Papaya Salad by Louise de Courval
 Fond Memories of Thailand and Beyond It's not surprising that foreigners flock to Thailand every year to enjoy its magnificent natural and cultural heritage. But what keeps a Canadian family doctor coming back year after year is not what is offered by just any tourist itinerary. This is a collection of anecdotes by Louise de Courval who contributes regularly to "Fond Memories of Thailand" pages. Louise is obviously in love with Thailand and who spares no effort in getting to know the country a bit better with every trip she makes. Her little tales are not about the obvious and the customary. Rather, they reveal unique and unpretentious traits of Thailand and Thai people--features that enchant foreigners yet may remain largely unrealized by Thais themselves. |

It shows how he has used social marketing, wits and charisma to good effect in his relentless quest to improve the livelihood of the poor. It explains why Mechai has been labeled a visionary iconoclast and cheerful revolutionary all the way through his working life |
