Chief of British Embassy's political Division blogging
After about four years in Thailand, Ian Proud, head of the British Embassy's political division, has come to love so many things in this country.
(Imagine a suave young diplomat who would kill to have a chance to taste the best namprik platu in town and who talks passionately about starting a franchise of muyong+namprik phao pancake!!).
He knows about many Thai temples more than many Thais and has travelled extensively in this country. One of the first things he did upon arrival in the Land of Smiles was to risk his life by taking part in the Songkran "War" riding on the back of a pick-up truck. He's a staunch soccer fan, is kind hearted and has done many things in his both personal and official capacities for underpriviledged Thai children.
He's about to complete his tenure here, but good news is he is now ready to talk about all the Thai experiences with British perspective and humour. He will do so as our honorary blogger. A busy and hard-working man, he promises regular updates. Visit his blog here and you may want to recommend this nice man a good place to eat Thai foods or two.
