Puccini Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Kudos to the author of the article in the OP, Pornpimol Kanchanalak. A stark contrast to what one normally reads in The Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skorchio Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 How the hell does Bangkok look even vaguely like Venice? It doesn't look anything like Venice. The Venice of the East refers to BKK approx 200 yrs ago, which is when the term was coined. Perhaps some historical reading ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrooks Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 An actual well written article that made sense for once written by a Thai? Surely there must have been divine intervention or perhaps extensive western schooling and living abroad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueLeader Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Venice of the East huh? still subject to the hegemonic notion that it is in the East (it is East releative to Europe if you are standing North South) For Vietnamese is it the Venice of the West? It's east of the prime meridian. Do you object to the notions of North and South too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
