It's a strata of expat life that few of us have to deal with on
anything more than an administrative level, but the particulars
of how two countries interract and overlap is a complicated Venn
diagram that needs to be carefully controlled. On this episode,
Tony and Greg are honoured to be joined by Ron Hoffmann, Canadian
Ambassador to Thailand. We talk about a whole range of subjects -
what his day-to-day roles are, how Thailand compares to his
previous posting in Afghanistan, what he thinks of the whole
Wikileaks debate, and how no one knows just how deep and complex
the relationship between Thailand and Canada is.


We are also joined by Willem Deenik, Managing Director of
Restaurants of Bangkok, the best place to find online
information, reviews and great deals at restaurants throughout
the city. He lets us know how users can benefit from his website,
as well as some of the interesting dining-centered events coming
up.
