Introduction

Authors Note

What follows is a compilation of letters written to my family and friends while on an assignment in Thailand.

The assignment was to project manage the deployment of a SAP hosting infrastructure for Daewoo Korea, at the GM Thailand Hosting Centre. As part of the scope, the project migrated an initial set of data to this new hosted environment and conducted testing and validation of the installation and data migrations.

I hope this series of letters will convey how my perceptions of Thailand and its people changed, from my first impressions, to an emotional departure and a burning desire to return.

The sky never did cry for me! but the sun shines more brightly than ever, in new found hope and optimism!
