Thats the right one mate....helped me get my head around some of the madder aspects of Thai culture, especially family, relationship issues, money, etc.,....

its a great book in both English and Thai, although its a bit more American than English...so some of the examples require some translation to Blighty situations...its also not very nice about "bar girls" (or maybe Im just lucky)...

....the problem of course is your Thai lass will probably do what Mrs S did and insist its only your problem/responsibility to read it. Cussing

Mad fact of the day: The average Thai person reads just 6 "book" pages of text a year....

Kendo have you read "Welcome To Hell" thats another book about a bloke getting put in the Bangkok Hilton. Worth a read.

Ive just ordered 1 called Farang which is supposed to be good.

Also "Very Thai:Everyday Popular Culture" is worth buying, lots of Photos, Nice Coffee table book, about £20 though.

Siam Smiles is also quite amusing, Its a diary of a bloke trying to get his Hotel in Pattaya up and running.
Some funny stuff, The Chef from his Cafe is off for the day, random European bloke complains his Chilli Con Carne is cold, the boss takes it back and tells the girl whos covering "not hot" so she chops a load more Chillis into it and sends it back to him. Mr. Green

Just some good TIT storys.

Yeah thats the one.

I'll buy The Damage Done, was on my list already.

Just reread my post, Farang isnt about Bang Kwang, Just an Expats observations on Thailand.

There have been many different threads on Thailand books, and a few good sounding ones here.

How about a list of 'must reads" for some of us catching up?
