Khun Aditya, 

I have to assume you have a place to stay over night and it should be close
to the airport. If you choose to stay far away from the airport but close to
the tourist attractions, e.g. the National Musuem, the Grand Palace, Wat Pra
Kaew, and the likes, you might try to get up early (6:00 or 7:00 am) and
rush by a taxi to the places which are attached to one another. You may have
to choose to see only one of them since you have to leave the place by 9 am
to rush to the airport. Many tourist guide often recommend some guesthouses
at Trog'Kaw"Saan+ at BangRamPuu. Plese note that all those tourist attractions
close at 4 pm. 

Since your hours are mostly at night time, to get in touch of nightlife in
Bangkok is not such a bad idea. You may want to try PatPong. Again you either
have to stay at a place to PatPong or to the airport. 

Walkng around in some shopping centers is quite an experience. You can see
how Thai people are like there. You may be able to pick up some gifts for
your beloved ones at home. One good thing about it is that they always have
some kind of food center where you can get good food with reasonable price.

If your next morning is one of the weekends and you stay at a hotel near the
airport, try to walk around Suan+Ja'Tu'Jak' weekend market. There you will
be fasinated by all kinds of things sold. Thousands of customers 
roam around to see things they want. If is quite close to the airport.

Also ask the hotel in which you stay if they (or other tourist agents) have
some kind of sight seeing bus. This is a good way to look around without 
risking of being late for the flight.

If you are male, please restraint your sex drive. You may end up picking 
some STD or ,worse than that, HIV. 

I don't know. I have a feeling that after all you will not be able to go
anywhere except lying on bed in the hotel watching local TV (or CNN if you
wish). The reason: flight delayed but you still need to be ready for
the scheduled 11 am flight next day!

In any case, good luck and enjoy "One Night in Bangkok."

I would write Faa^Hai"Yi-Maa-Gurd'Yi-Hai"Liang-Maa-Gurd'Duay" to mean
"Yi was allowed to be born, why was Liang also?"

Look at what Khun Tawit or Khun Unalome write. These two guys are more
mastering the system than me. We had talked about this romanization which
some call transliteration for some time and decided we would go ahead 
using it though there was no real consensus. 

Note that we use - (for normal tone), '(first tone), "(second tone), ^(third
tone), and, +(fifth tone), e.g. as in Maa (come), Maa'(part of the word
Pra'Maa'= nervouse), Ma" (part of the word Pa"Maa" = Burma), Maa^ (horse),
and, Maa+ (dog), respectively.

Also note that a for Sa'Ra'Ar; aa Sa'Ra'Aar. I still don't remember what 
sylable is use for Sa'Ra' Eue (like in the word Nue^ = meat).

Note: SET = Stock Exchange of Thailand
	SEC = Securities Exchange Commission

BANKERS yesterday lauded the Government's move against alleged 
stock manipulators, claiming such action will not hurt the stock 
market.
 
 Bangkok Bank (BBL) president Vichit Suraphongchai praised the 
action of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in filing a 
criminal complaint with the police. 
 
The move was expected by everybody and is the right way to solve 
the problem, he said.
 
The action will not adversely have an impact on the stock market 
if the Government and all parties concerned explain the facts. He 
hopes everyone will understand.
 
But Mr Vichit said that in the short term brokers will feel the 
impact, particularly those which extended loans to Sia Song to buy 
shares.
 
He said he has told finance companies affiliated to BBL that they 
must comply with the policy of the central bank in extending loans 
for share buying.
 
Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) president Olarn Chaipravat said the 
market will not be affected by the SEC's action because only a 
handful of speculative stocks took a dive in price. 
 
Other stocks with good fundamentals remain strong, he said.
 
He also said he has discussed with SCB's affiliated finance 
companies whether they have any problems in extending loans to buy 
shares.
 
Bank of Thailand Deputy Governor Roengchai Marakanond said the 
SEC's announcement will not hurt economic growth.
 
The action will benefit the economy and the stock market because 
the market will gain the confidence of foreign investors. 
 
In the past few months shares of four or five listed companies -- 
out of more than 300 -- have soared 400-500%. Foreign investors do 
not understand this 
 
The market might be affected but only for a short period, he said. 
In the longer term, the market will rebound because the general 
economic situation is favourable. 
 
Bangkok Bank of Commerce (BBC) president Krirkkiat Jalichandra 
said his bank could not do anything after its stocks were 
suspended from trading yesterday.
 
He also cannot predict the BBC's share price trend. 
 
He denied having known anything about the SEC's action against Sia 
Song and 10 other alleged associates.
 
"I don't know any such move. I don't know how the BBC shares got 
involved in it," he said.
 
He insisted he was not involved in any manipulation of BBC stocks.
 
Deputy Finance Minister Trairong Suwannakhiri said the SEC's 
action has nothing to do with an Opposition motion calling on 
Parliament to set up an extraordinary committee to investigate 
stock manipulation.
 
He said the action taken by the SEC is to do with economics and is 
not politically-motivated.
 
The Prime Minister was told of developments all the time, he said.

In case Khun Cynthia does not have them in her bibliography, I'd like to
add some references on this. 

Thanh-Dam, SEX, MONEY, AND REALITY: Prostitution and tourism in Southeast
Asia, London: Zed Books, ltd., 1990. The author's full name is Thanh-Dam
Troung. Dr. Thanh-Dam is Vietnamese by birth and now a Dutch citizen. She
is currently teaching at the Institute of Social Studies, The Hage, The
Neterlands. Two of the five chapters are devoted on Thailand: Gender
reflections and Prostitution in Thailand, and, Foreign Exchange, Tourism,
and Prostitution in Thailand. 

And there are 3 articles appeared in a collection, GENDERAND DEVELOPMENT
IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, edited by Penny and John Van Esterik, Quebe: Canadian
Asian Studies Association. The book has four parts, one of which is on
Thai case. In the part concerning Thailand, "Perspectives on Thailand," there
are five article three of which might be relevant to Khun Cynthia's study.
They are: "Gender and Economic Development in Thailand," by Peter Bell;
"Prostitution and Development in Thailand," by Sinith Sitthiraksa; "Thai
Prostitution and the Medical Gaze," by Penny Van Esterik.

And...as far as the perspective of Thai scholar is concerned, there is
and article in Chatsuman Kabilsingh, THAI WOMEN IN BUDDISM, Berkeley:
Prallax Press, 1991. Among its eight chapters, the chapter on "Prostitutes
and Buddhism" might again be interesting to Khun Cynthia. 

And....(I promise this is the last one!)..the issue of November 28th, 1991,
of Rolling Stones published a chapter with well illustrated pictures on
Thai prostitution. The article entitles "Death in the Candy Store," by
Richard Rhodes as writer, and Patrick Zachmann, as photographer. The subtitle
of the article says "..Thailand has become the prostitution capital of
the world. And ther price of this prosperity? National suicide by HIV 
infection.

A Palang Dharma Party MP yesterday denied that his party was 
overly enthusiastic about the gubernatorial election law.
 
Bangkok MP Chinawut Sunthornsima said in pressing the issue the 
party was only trying to honour its election promise.
 
Mr Chinawut made the statement in response to Prime Minister Chuan 
Leekpai's remark on Saturday, that the election of governors will 
have to be carried out according to the democratic process, and 
that the Government will not be able to satisfy those who are 
overly enthusiastic about the issue.
 
Mr Chinawut said the PDP has no overly enthusiastic people in its 
organisation.
 
The election of the provincial governors is something which the 
country should be led to under the democratic development process, 
the Bangkok MP said.
 
The PDP will continue with the campaign to seek the support from 
Parliament on the issue even if no other political parties are 
interested in doing so, he said.
 
Mr Chinawut said that he did not think the PDP was losing 
political manner on this issue because the party had promised its 
electorates that it would push for the governor elections if it 
became a member of the coalition government.
 
"This was an issue in our election campaign and we will have to 
honour it," he said.
