Back in Thailand!

So after a little more than a year hiatus I have returned to Thailand. This time has an academic (or something like that...)

It has taken me a little while longer than I expected to get accustomed to the warm weather, speaking Thai and being a farang again. Probably, a combination of shedding off the stress from a crazy last year, time adjustment, and culture.

I have a great place to stay in Bangkok thanks to my friend Barry but from now on the majority of my time will be in Nang Rong, Buriram. It took me awhile to leave the comforts of Bangkok but I was really happy to get in the field and in the Northeast. My first cruise on my motorbike to a smaller village through the ricefields, my heart warmed up and I got flooded by emotions and love.

The people are so nice and open and should be conducive to interviews and work. I also have a great place to stay! It took awhile to find but patience is a virtual.
