Being with a group of Thais watching TV when one of their countrymen (countrywomen) wins an Olympic medal is both a privilege AND a very special event - instilling more national pride than a "stirring" Prayut-speech.

Go for gold, Amanda - your race will take less time than a Prayut-speech, and you're much better looking than him too!

Representing Thailand, you should feel right at home in Rio with the corruption and the gentrification - you only need to watch out for the mozzies (that's skeeters for our North American readers)!
