After attending a lecture by Santikaro Bhikku about Acharn Buddhadasa and his Work at the Siam Society, strolling down Sukhumvit Road. Place full of 'farangs' spending bucks on designer clothes or jewellery. Questionable good-lookers accosting you with girls' albums, and indian boys selling bags of fruit to feed elefants, all just on Mc Donald's parking lot. Decline of the Eastern Society?
