Maybe it has to do with taxi drivers having the opportunity to listen to the radio news and whatever debate programs are on, as well as with their talking with people daily about these matters, as opposed to many people from the middle class who are too tied up at work to be able to follow. <BR/><BR/>I share your liking for people who don't pretend, and don't do the usual 20 questions about Thai women and spicy food to 'the farang who can speak Thai'. That kind of thing was okay the first 10-20 times but proceeded to get old rather quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
