Ever wondered what it's really like to live in a place as exotic and notorious as Thailand? This factual recounting of her own experiences whilst living in the Land of Smile has been very skilfully compiled by the Author and centres around the lives of four very different characters whose lives intertwine in this richly colourful and pulsating part of Asia. The four main characters - comprised of a Thai prostitute; a sex tourist, a professional expatriate and hippie backpacker - are superbly and factually portrayed as they meet and journey together to what appears to be a doomed fate when their mini bus is hijacked by a notorious Russian gangster. Based on true stories and real people, it not only offers a huge insight into the culture and religion embedded in Thai society, but gives a glimpse into the deeper psychological effects it has on its inhabitants and visitors. Exciting, exhilarating, and with a predominant backdrop of beaches, sex tourism and steamy nightlife, even reading about it will leave an indelible impression on those who have never had the unique privilege of experiencing Thailand for themselves. Extremely well written, with vividly described characters whose emotions are laid bare for the reader to embrace or reject, this highly informative and entertaining novel is not to be missed, and is guaranteed to keep one reading well into the night.
