...beaches and the purple of shade under the umbrella-pines, made his canvases radical in their time. Yet to a modern eye, his paradisiacal view of the world--a world now hopelessly fouled by mass tourism--offers undiluted pleasure.

...Fried Chicken while his wife baby-sat to make extra money. Their first son was born there, and retains his American citizenship. Thaksin and his wife would have four more children. Upon his return to Thailand, Thaksin embarked on a string of disastrous business endeavors. He joined the Bangkok Metropolitan Police Bureau and began teaching at police schools, his salary from the department coming to about $150 a month.
