　Thailand is a famous country of a Vegetable carving art. For my part, I wish they show a lotus-flower and a king cobra. Because this year is the year of snake in Thailand and Japan.

The one thing that Thais really excel in is the arts, whether in ancient skills or technology (ie some very clever and imaginative tv commercials).

Well done. Nice to hear a good news story that has nothing to do with politics. I wonder where they practice being a hot climate.
