Made in Thailand is the autobiographical story of my adolescent years so that you might get to know me as an author a little better. Raised in the country and used to my circle of close friends at school, my father drops a bombshell and tells my mother and I that we are about to pack our bags and move to Bangkok. Bangkok and the bright lights of the city were totally alien to me and even the knowledge that I had been enrolled into a prestigious, international school named Patana did nothing to alleviate my initial fears. However, after rather a shaky start, Patana proved to be my making and gave me choices I would most probably never have taken.
