After the events of his last book, Yes China!, Nielsen swore off teaching abroad forever. But that promise didn't last long, and two years later, he finds himself at it again in a different part of Asia. Equally hilarious and informative, Nielsen pulls no punches in this overseas adventure about teaching English at a small, rundown high school in the Thai countryside.
Yes Thailand! is one part memoir, one part travelogue, and five parts humor, tying together funny stories from Nielsen's childhood with the amusing obstacles inherent to working and living in Thailand. Written as a series of interconnected essays, Yes Thailand! covers everything from the humid weather to the Thai language, holidays, public restrooms, ladyboys, and visas.
As a follow-up to his China stories, Yes Thailand! sheds additional light on Chinese culture and the differences between the two Asian countries. In comparing past teaching experiences, Nielsen also finds himself growing as a teacher (though not necessarily liking it) and developing an even stronger love for traveling, despite the bad luck that seems to always follow him.
