"Just around the corner from Thailand..." A trip that blends into your everyday life without any stress is good. This is the first comic essay by manga artist Kobayashi Mariko, whose manga about her fun daily life in Thailand and encounters with "mai pen rai (don't care)" people has been a hot topic on Twitter and Instagram. It's nice to go to famous tourist spots, but ordering from a local restaurant with a menu written only in Thai is a risky business! The best handmade juice from a food stall, a monitor lizard stomping through the park... The values are different from those in Japan, but somehow it's a comfortable feeling that you can understand. This book is filled with fascinating daily life in Thailand that makes you want to "meet" rather than "go". It also includes "Daily Life in Thailand", which was serialized in the web magazine NewsCrunch, and manga drawn specifically for the book!
