Thailand Short Stories
by
Willard Van De Bogart
Over the past eight years that I have been living in Thailand I have been affected by many different and memorable moments that led me to try and express those moments in the form of a short story. Each story is very different and contains many moods and reflections about the way people live in Thailand. They also serve as time markers for events that took place in Thailand over those seven years. I am sure there will be more attempts at capturing the moods of Thailand, but these short stories paint a panorama of events that I have been closely attached to. I hope they are as entertaining to read as were the real life situations they try to represent.
