Hope you're successful in finding a publisher. I for one will be buying it. I've had a deep interest in Thai politics, political history and culture for many years, but only recently started reading your blog. You have a wonderful gift for truly insightful and intelligent analysis and it's so refreshing for me to read your articles (and also some of the responses). As has been mentioned, there's not enough of these kind of forums of thought, especially within Thailand. Hope you manage to keep finding the time to add to the blog. And I hope to be able to contribute something to the debate(s) once I've digested everything... KJF: Brillantly written piece. Hope you’re successful in finding a publisher.

I agree that the Thai establishment’s unwillingness to acknowledge the Thai only sex industry is firmly rooted in the hierarchical elitist class system, while ultimately concerned with the preservation of financial gain. As an example of the country’s all pervasive corruption, overseen and managed by the ever present Poo Yai’s, I think that this idea deserves further consideration and treatment.

As for LM, I make a conscious effort to stay away from that; I don't think there is anything on this site that qualifies even under the most expansive definition. What I try to do here is offer the strongest indictment of the system I can think of within the confines of Thai law. I have better things to do than becoming a martyr. Thanks Rich.
