I learned to be jai yen (cool hearted), instead of angry or frustrated. That is the Thai way. I went as an agricultural advisor to work among theMountain Tribes. This book is about the 33 years I spent roaming the hill country trekking from village to village over the foot trails. The people I came to teach taught me many things. I learned about hospitality, descision making by consensus, and how to live with one another. I shared their shelter, their food, their joys, and their sorrows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authorhouse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612995960983,"sku":"9781425945800","price":2051.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781425945800.webp?v=1775081837","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jai-yen-means-keep-a-cool-heart-life-among-the-mountain-tribes-of-thailand-9781425945800","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
