PORTFOLIOS AND WEBSITE UPDATE


The working time in front of the screen has produced some peace of mind (ah, ah, just jocking!) and the updated portfolios that you'll find in the website. The new version on the Muay Thai story dedicated to the very young kids fighting is also there. Please don't think at this as a denouncing story of decadence and corruption: although they even fight once a week in the middle of a red light bar in Pattaya, these boys live the Muay Thai experience as a true sport and martial art. A positive experience. As for the surrounding environment, well,it's like the controversial view on Thai social ethics that westerners find so hard to comprehend. We had to give up the idea of describing the Bangkok nightlife from a Thai point of view because we would have sound like defending prostitution. The line of different thinking is so subtle that would be impossible not being misunderstood!

  1. I suppose reporting a certain message or expressing a particular point of view is like selling merchandise on the internet. You have to know what your 'customer' wants to buy and not what you think would sell better. Logical but not easy. Ciao.

  2. practical, and true.. but what about relativity? a relative point of view that is true in Bangkok but opposite in Sidney? or Paris?

  3. Certainly true for those cities. It's not a question of relativity, as no matter where in the world, people are basically the same.

  4. People are the same, absolutely true.. but ethics differs a lot because of history, culture, social and religious differences.. do we need to belong?
