-  read articles on insects in Thailand, especially conservation issues plus strange and news items featuring Thailand's insects. I have also published the results of a survey I did into what Thai people think of their insects. Other pages on insects in Thai culture are devoted to Thai language proverbs which feature insects. There are a few pages showing insects in Thai postage stamps as well as a page devoted to insects in the Thai diet.
