Matthew Polly of Slate magazine begins his first of ten entries about his travels to Thailand. In his first entry, he discusses the hippie backpackers of Khao San Road, shady tuk-tuk and gem scams, the "fabulous" clothing of the Emerald Buddha, the smiling Buddha at Wat Pho, the concept of "jai yen," and the use of the word "farang."
