    interesting final paragraph.


    Today, if I were to draw something about Thai-ness. It wouldn’t be just one item. I would need a big canvas. On it I would paint a picture of a red-eyed spectre with a monitor ankle eating Pad-kra-pao in a night market somewhere, with rain forest and banana trees in the background. While the people are staring at a gigantic monument of a king, hoping their gaze will turn it into dust.

    I was accused of not assimilating because of my limited language skills and within a few minutes accused of riding my scooter on the wrong side of the street, like the locals do. Apparently too much assimilation?

    Why did you change the title from redefining, to refining. The meanings can be quite different and cause confusion.

    Unless of course you are ​refining your Thai identity?.?..?
