	Encyclopedia: Music of Thailand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rhythmically and metrically Thai music is steady in tempo, regular in pulse, divisive, in simple duple meter, without swing, with little syncopation (p.3, 39), and with the emphasis on the final beat of a measure or group of pulses and phrase (p.41), as opposed to the first as in European-influenced music.
		By the 1960s, Western rock was popular and Thai artists began imitating bands like Cliff Richard and the Shadows; this music was called wong shadow, and it soon evolved into a form of Thai pop called string.
		String pop took over mainstream listeners in Thailand in the 90s, and bubblegum pop stars like Tata Young, Bird McIntyre and Asanee and Wasan became best-sellers.

		However, take-out obscures one of Thai Thai Kitchen’s strengths, which is that dishes are cooked to order and served immediately.
		The Thai Thai sampler ($9.25) features herbal-beef and -chicken satays, a couple of very crunchy thin spring rolls (but flavored mostly with cabbage), a couple of Chinese-style chicken wings, a couple of wonderful pork shumai (steamed dumplings), and heaps of vegetable tempura — string beans, broccoli, snow peas, sweet potato, onion, and baby corn.
		The two Thai soups we know best are both marked with an asterisk here, and the heat was in the form of chili oil that coated the spoon, even when I tried to skim some off.

	No one knows precisely when or how Muay Thai developed
		When it comes to self-defense, Muay Thai is called "the most ferocious and deadly martial art in the world" and "the hardest ring sport on earth" and it has been the winner for hundreds of years.
		The sport's appeal is rooted, in part, in the marriage of the grace and savagery, in the seeming contradiction between the Thai stereotype of gentleness and self-effacement and the reality of bone crushing bone, the blood that sometimes splatters ringside spectators.
		Another contradiction is in the use of feet as weapons, in a nation where the foot is considered "low" and it is taboo to sit with the feet toward the Buddha figure in a temple and bad form to do the same to anyone anywhere else.

	Mark Moxon, Travel Writer: India: Hindi Pop
		It was a compilation of Hindi pop hits of 1998 (that's hits with a silent 's') and I was almost tempted to buy a copy simply so I could glare at it.
		On top of this, Hindi pop songs are plugged so remorselessly that even if the music weren't so invasive, it would still get to me; there's no kind of music in the world that can stand that sort of constant playing.
		In the films, singer-songwriters are not common, and there's normally a composer who writes the music, a lyricist who writes the words, a group of singers who sing the songs, and the actors who mime and dance along on the screen.

		I don't know better than thai people and am always more than happy to learn from them, but not when what they quote as facts are demonsterably wrong which they cannot then accept when corrected, and not when they cannot debate something without resorting to hysterics.
