Postbag | 20.03.05
Carl Parkes comments:
The Letters to the Editor (Postbag) section of the Bangkok Post is always worth a read if only to marvel at the oddball Westerners who write in with their pet peeves about the kingdom, or push their wacky agendas.
There’s Eric down in Chonburi who feels compelled to weekly remind the world that he’s a vegetarian and that anyone who eats meat is destroying the planet. The so-called Italian doctor who uses such complicated and meaningless English that nobody has any idea what he is writing about. And the Westerner out in Issan who has an overwhelming urge to remind us on a regular basis that Bush is the devil incarnate and the all the world’s problems are the fault of Amerika.
Two quibbles:
- I disagree strongly with the “always worth a read” bit.
- There are oddball Thai “regulars” with wacky agendas as well.
Other than that, my man, you’ve pretty much summed up Postbag and, with some extrapolation, also the Bangkok Post as a whole.
