Thailand - From Nowhere To Nee

Thailand - From Nowhere To Nee Thailand - from Nowhere to Nee walks the reader through the lives of two young lovers as they face the complexities of life when the convergence of different cultural backgrounds place both real and emotional obstacles in their way. David Henderson is a bright young Australian.. the son of a Thai mother and Australian father. Having been raised all his life in Australia, he is faced with the difficulties of adjusting to life in Thailand. He feels neither Thai nor Australian - lost somewhere in between and reaching out for acceptance and anything else that will help define his place in the world. Nee is from a poor family in a province west of Bangkok, thrown into a life not of her choosing, in a place she would rather not be. Her life is the life of so many young Thai girls who see the only way out for their families is to make enough money to send home each month to keep food on the table, and a roof over their heads. These two young lovers are eventually befriended by an American veteran of the Vietnam War.. another of society's outcasts who finds himself back in the only place he feels purpose in life, having given up on his own country after the disappointment and disillusionment he found on returning home after the war. Together, this misfit trio will take you on a journey of discovery toward the unmistakable attraction held by many the world over for the Land of Smiles. Enjoy their journey and at some point, reflect on what different cultures can teach us all if only we make the effort to open our eyes and hearts.
