Wow, that is great! If you don't mind me asking, what takes you to Bangkok? I plan being there for May to early June. Yes, please let me know if you find someone. Travel safe and goodluck not being placed near loud children during the long travel so you can read :-)
Forget You Had a Daughter: Doing Time in the Bangkok Hilton - Sandra Gregory's Story by Sandra Gregory
I love Cambodia as well. Yummy food and fun markets. Be safe and stay on all the paths, there are still tons of land minds still buried all over Cambodia. When I lived in Thailand I lived about an 1 1/2 hours from and Cambodia and an 1 from Laos.
Sub bud dee is How are in you? in Cambodian. I never forget it because when you say it sounds like somebody.
Four Reigns. Chronicles the life of a Thai woman from the late 19th century until right after WW2. Not a lot of plot but really engaging all the time, and it has great cultural detail.
