I just looked and saw it available on amazon, but it's £12.
You can pick it up at the airport in BKK if you can wait. |

I've read many of the books listed above and would recommend both of John Burdett's books - Bangkok Ei8ht and Bangkok Tattoo, he's got a third out now.
Damage Done is very very good too and I know Private Dancer has had mixed reviews but I like it alot and have read it perhaps 9 times.
On my retrun home in July I purchased "Thailand Fever" and found it very interesting and a good read, I will read it again. It is written in both English and Thai on alternate pages, so in fact you're only reading half the book, but the advantage is that your teeruk can read it too as the same content appears in both languages.
The book tries to explain the differences between cultures; re: family, independance, commitment, money, gifts etc.
Not the be-all and end-all but it certainly makes you think. Better for those contemplating or already in a relationship, but good for anyone who wants to understand the Thai way of thinking and maybe become more understanding. |

agreed, Damage Done is a great one, hard to put down.
If you like modern history pick up 'Mao' by Jung Chang, it's the most definitive book on that asshole who killed 70 million of his own people in 30 years.
You Irish guys or Irish-yanks; pick up 'Angela's Ashes' by Frank McCourt, a great one about growing up Irish - Cathoilc in Limerick pre-WW2. |
