In a very humorous and illustrative, but also thoughtful and pensive way, the author of Adventure Thailand portrays fateful encounters with elephants, with smiling Thais, with light-green, poisonous snakes behind the house, or Boas on the school yard, with nerve-wrecking bureaucrats at the dreaded Immigration Office, with huge Buddha statues, with the delicious Thai cuisine - which also includes grilled insects - with power outages and last, but not least, with Thai hospitals. It is also worth experiencing together with the author, trips to the beautiful islands in the South, or a life-threatening taxi journey to the highest mountain of Thailand, where the brakes didn't work on the way back, elephant ridings in the North, or an adventurous bus trip to the Golden Triangle.10 humorous paragraphs concerning road traffic in Chiang Mai, some edifying Bible verses and self-made watercolor paintings (made by the author), garnish or embellish the stories written in the form of emails.In the epilogue, the author explains why she had to break off her job as a teacher in Chiang Mai earlier than planned because the Dengue fever struck her down. Looking back, however, she can say Thank God! Otherwise she would have spent her Christmas holidays on the wonderful Pee Pee islands again, where exactly at that time a horrible Tsunami was raging and devastated the island. Consequently, also negative or painful experiences might have a meaning or purpose in life.
