I was born and raised in Bangkok where it is the center of things and rules. I think it doesn't make sense that some beliefs and culture derive and are being defined by the person in authority but have no understanding of human diversity.

This is my second year of travel. To find the meaning of the question "What is real Thai?" The question I keep asking myself when people say that what I’ve done is about breaking the rule of Thai traditions. And want to prove the belief that "nothing is true, everything is permitted". The enshrined things are blended and changed so that the race has a proper existence over time.

Isaan (Northeast Thailand ) that I know from the main media before my trip. It's very different from Isaan that I have experienced during a month of work. If you let me briefly Isaan for the people here. They are "polite, honest, creative and inherit Isaan Culture."
