By Ferenc Kumin: My post late last week, ‘The ‘Magyar Garda’ Remains Illegal,’ met with a strong reaction on my Facebook page. Most of it was in Hungarian, which, unfortunately, excludes many of the international readers, but let’s just say that some of the feedback was quite critical – and colorful in language.

This luxury resort is a unique blend of classic Thai architecture and hospitality, smart design and contemporary elegance. As part of a warm welcome, full of smiles, I was informed Bhundhari means lotus or water-lily in Sanskrit.
