Wheeler says that his quest for freedom and happiness led him to become a strict follower of the King’s philosophy; however he believes that many Thai people have a tendency to misunderstand the theory. He feels the main problem with the Kings theory is the word ‘enough’ and people’s interpretations of it and that is perhaps why it has not blossomed the way it should. The theory promotes similar ideals as Buddhism, where people are told not to rely on others and not to solely rely on themselves but to walk a middle path. Wheeler feels this is very logical and even though he does not follow any religion, he does enjoy Buddhist teachings, he explains that three prime guidelines can help to create a sustainable community, especially in rural areas.
