Thailand still has some nice people to visit.  Thankfully not too many moaners like the poster who probably resides in a tourist location but finds some tourists 

enjoying their holiday annoying

In my 40 years in Thailand, I have rarely interacted with foreigners here. Occasionally, I meet a foreigner at Immigration or Tesco Lotus, but that's all. Going by the online Forums there are many I would not like to meet because of their rudeness and lack of empathy towards people in distress. I did not use to encounter such behaviour in the 1980s and 1990s even on the Bangkok Post Forum, which has turned into a cesspit of undesirables. I live in a quiet village with 28 loving cats and I'm happy here.

He loved boxing.

His idea was to instill character in his progeny through engagement in the art of boxing.

Great book!

 

I read it decades ago, when I happened to find an old dusty copy in a used book store in Taipei.

Don't know what happened to that book.

I had the hardcover published  way back when....

 

 

This book was redone as a musical in "The Happiest Millionaire".

 

The OP is more snobbish nonsense from a prolific whiner.
