MONEY STILL NUMBER ONE...BY Neil Hutchison
Any one who is going to Thailand or who is a newbie this book is a must read..
excellent, excellent writer!!
an Aussie who understands more about the Falang - Thai relationship than any person I have ever read by far.
also penned "The Fool is Back" , equally funny and eye-opening
I'm about to start Easter Rising by Michael Patrick MacDonald
his follow-up to "All Souls... a family story from Southie" where he grew up in abject poverty {for America} in Boston. Great writer, this book is about when he goes back to discover his roots in as he becomes a young adult.
i'm gonna give a big shout out to one book, highly recommended reading for everybody on the forum(ok maybe not everyone)..its called platform by Michel Houellebecq............
Best thing i have ever read on Thailand, sex tourism and the decadence of the west
here is a little piece from amazon.com
Misanthropic, sexually frustrated bureaucrat Michel embarks on a "Thai Tropic" package tour, amusing himself with snide commentary on his fellow vacationers and frequent visits to sex clubs. Although he is attracted to business executive Valerie, he has trouble engaging her in small talk. However, when they return to Paris, their relationship quickly turns passionate as they explore sadomasochism and public sex. Michel talks Valerie and her business partner into marketing sex tours to the Third World, selling them on his theory that Westerners have lost touch with their own sexuality. But when they decide to sample one of their own tours, their resort becomes a flashpoint for Islamic hatred. Houellebecq is unrelenting as he meticulously constructs a world that mirrors his own cold vision and that cuts uncomfortably close to the bone. Joanne Wilkinson
