Chalermchai and foreigners

| February 3 Chalermchai talked about working with foreigners. In his opinion, the Thais who worked with foreigners served them like servants and the foreigners had never paid respect to them. In addition, their thoughts and conducts were sometimes hard to understand. For example, some of them used images of the head of Buddha to decorate their house. Many foreigners mistakenly thought that the King was a playboy, because he played the saxophone. On the contrary, he played the saxophone with a group of students, or the people.
