Mae Sai is a border town in Thailand, right smack dab in the middle of the infamous Golden Triangle. While that might sound quite adventurous to some, it should be remembered that the Golden Triangle only came into being during the Vietnam War, and that drug trafficking there, while still active, has definitely passed its peak and moved on to other hot spots such as Afghanistan.In any case Mae Sai was one the loveliest, most...more
Maybe you have heard of Chiang Mai, the unofficial northern capital of Thailand. Although it isn't cooler than anywhere else on the Thai plains during the hot season, it is along a ridge of cool high mountains, cool enough to actually grow beets, apples, and strawberries.The king has a hot season home here, about halfway up Doi Shutep, overlooking this once beautiful city. I have had the fortune, and disappointment of visiting this...more
I was lucky enough to see Bangkok before it became cosmopolitan. Sure, women still tried to wear nice clothes and look pretty, men liked to go to nice sumptuous restaurants, but for the most part when I first was in Bangkok (1986), it still, and overwhelming I'd say, felt like a great urban village. Where else does 90% of the urban population wear thongs and ride to work on river buses? And despite the vices that large cities breed (and thanks to the Vietnam War Bangkok has become notorious for), people were much more friendly and relaxed than they are now. The vices though seem worse than ever.I love the old Bangkok, and actually by the time I got there it was already ruined! Too much noise, too much pollution, not enough medical care, some (not overwhelming though) hungry people, street children, the famous canal culture concreted over in favor of big avenues and skyscrapers; the whole modern urban blight was already insidiously creeping in when I was there for the first time. I can't imagine what the city must have been like in the 30's or 50's. Except for the brief occupation by Japanese forces in World War II, I think had I gone there at that time I never would...more

Successful small business owners realize that the secret to long-term growth is maximizing new business opportunities.To do that, businesses must reach new customers. Many businesses can conduct basic PR campaigns with the help of useful PR resources such as PR toolkits, but to go beyond that you should investigate the use of a consultant PR firm. You may think that only large companies can afford public relations firms, but that simply isn't true.What you are buying when you engage a PR consulting firm is expertise in an area that is essential to your business. If you're working with a reputable, experienced consultant PR firm,its services will more than pay its fees in new sales. Using a professional to promote your organization and get the exposure to expand market share is a smart business decision. Think about it for a moment. You already pay outside professionals to provide expertise that you don't have,such as CPAs or attorneys. Doesn't it make sense to hire a professional to handle a revenue-generating function like public relations? Doesn't it make sense to invest in a service that generates sales? There's good news regarding the cost of these services as...more
