My First Post (Maam)

I am a girl in Thailand. My name is Maam. I am the same as other people who lived upcountry (outside Bangkok) before moving to Bangkok to learn and to work. I have lived in Bangkok for 12 years, since I was in university. Now, I work at an International Company and enjoy my work most of the time. However there are some times when I feel stressed because the work is so challenging.

To relax my tension from working, I do my favorite activities. I especially like to read novel books or play games in the evenings or on the weekends.

These are examples of the novel books in the series of “ความรู้สึกดี... ที่เรียกว่ารัก” which I would like to show you. I hope you like them.

Thailand Voices (Michelle)

That's me in the middle - Dad and Mum on either side - in Chiang Mai, Thailand - that's why we're wearing Thai silk clothes (we don't normally dress like this :-)

My name is Michelle. I teach Business English and Business Skills at an international company in Bangkok. My students are smart, inquisitive Thai men and women who are interested in learning English and are extremely motivated. They also work long hours doing the best jobs they can for their clients. So, to give them a break from the daily stress, I thought it might be interesting to start a blog where they can write about themselves, their homes, their lives, their families.

There are few restrictions on the blog, as they write about personal and not business things. I don't tell them what to write or how to write it. I want them to have the freedom to express whatever they want to express without feeling they are being judged or having their posts 'graded'. So, what you read here is what they wanted to write (with maybe a few spelling mistakes corrected, LOL).

They are all interesting people with typical Thai personalities - smart, funny, kind, relaxed, friendly and always smiling and laughing. I know you'll enjoy their blog.
