Playing an off-key fiddle
Re: ''Central bank's attitude unhealthy for Thailand's democracy, says Virabongsa'' (BP, Jan 8). The controversy of who should bear the burden of 1.14 trillion baht debt is rather irrelevant when foreign reinsurers and existing and potential foreign investors are waiting for our remedial performance. The bickering is like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned in AD 64.

YOUR HANDYMAN
I came across this cobbler in Thon Buri one day. He had probably been sitting there for ever, peering over the top of his glasses, waiting to appraise another worn out pair of shoes for a customer. This is the kind of helpful person we all like to come across when we have a down-at-heel pair of shoes we want him to rejuvenate, a pair that, perhaps, we should have thrown out years ago!

Ghosts, amulets, ringtones, and the rest of Thai Buddhism
Somdet To is, according to Justin McDaniel "arguably the most famous monk in Thai history." His image, picture, chants, biographies, amulets, and pamphlets are everywhere. Yet you could read everything written on Thai Buddhism in English for scholars or tourists without noticing his existence, let alone his importance. In this superb book, McDaniel not only does justice to Somdet To but suggests a new way of thinking about "Thai Buddhism" and how it is studied.
