Being the story of Brian, his Thai girlfriend Boom and their adventures in Thailand and England, told mostly through an exchange of letters between Brian’s doting mother and his loving aunt.
Any resemblance to people living or dead is not at all coincidental.
‘Boom Boom Baby’ is a familiar story (middle-aged Englishman meets Pattaya bar girl), but told in an unusual fashion, almost exclusively through an exchange of letters between two elderly ladies. And the moral of the tale emerges just as Christmas approaches.
‘Boom Boom Baby’ is one of the funniest and most incisive books you will read on East-West relationships….I have re-read this book three times, and each reading of it provides even more laughs than before’-Lang Reid, Pattaya Mail
Secrets of the Thais from Phra Attit Road to Sukhumvit – Volume 2
First, the aim is to point out the amusing things for the visitor or resident in Bangkok. This is especially amazing as the entire world now is going into a mental meltdown, economics teetering, social unrest a general event, mother nature there showing the earthquakes and floods she has to pull out in order to break global monotony.
Testosterone is down for males and relativism is up for world politics. Taking this all in in the sanctuary of seamy Bangkok is quite an experience. Thais quietly doing their own thing seem ready to buttress the collapses going on, and charge into the future like armadillos with pseudo Ban Ray sunglasses out to see a nuclear test. The Thais’ unique tenacity to survive is wound up and ready to go.
Das Land des Lächelns hat dem Besucher aus Übersee viele Attraktionen zu bieten, aber keine davon ist kraftvoller und erfährt überall in der Welt mehr Würdigung als das verführerische Lächeln der jungen Ladies, die in Thailands vielen Bars arbeiten.
Die magnetische Anziehungskraft hübscher, geschmeidiger thailändischer Barmädchen bringt Zehntausende von Westlern ins Land, Sprachführer in der Hand und vom ersten Augenblick an, in dem sie versuchen, mit ihren neuen ‘besten Freunden’ eine sinnvolle Unterhaltung zu führen, von Verwirrung überwältigt.
Gesprächsabbrüche sind in solchen Situationen eher die Norm als die Ausnahme und ihre Ursachen, deren Wurzeln und Tentakel weit tiefer reichen als bloße Sprachbarrieren, sind multidimensional.
Thai Liebesgeflüster wirft einen humorvollen Blick auf einige der sprachlichen Hindernisse, mit denen Westler sich konfrontiert sehen, die zum ersten Mal die Wonnen langer Nächte bei kaltem Bier in der Gesellschaft warmherziger Frauen erfahren, die nichts anderes im Sinn zu haben scheinen als ihre neuen Bekannten näher kennenzulernen.
Mit einfühlsamem Verständnis für die kulturelle Kluft, die den typischen westlichen Bar-Liebhaber und seine neue thailändische Freundin voneinander trennt, füllt Love Talk die Wissenslücken und lässt es sich nicht nehmen, bei dieser Gelegenheit gleich auch ein paar Hühnchen zu rupfen.
Auch zweisprachig (Deutsch & Thai) erhältlich.
Two brothers who are stuck in the rut of their boring lives, and doing the same thing week in, week out, until the younger brother, ‘Our-Kid’, wakes up one morning, and decides that he wants to change things.
He convinces his brother, ‘Space’, to go on a Christmas break to Thailand with him, and he books a holiday for them on the internet.
It all turns out to be a very funny story indeed!
Have you ever dreamt of quitting your job and setting up a business in a tropical paradise, spending days lazing by the beach whilst the money comes rolling in? Most of us have had this dream at some time or the other but the reality can be alarmingly different.
We follow the hilarious trials and tribulations of Kevin, who turned the dream into a reality, leaving his life in England to run a small hotel in the Thailand holiday resort of Pattaya.
His story highlights the vast difference in cultures between East and West and shows the number of day-to-day problems that can be encountered. Whilst everything is viewed in a light- hearted and amusing manner, it is easy to see that the grass is not always as greener on the other side. as we may imagine.
Like the first work ‘Siam Smile/s’, this book intends to point out how amusing humans are, especially when one is in a different country, as all the awkward and untoward things stick out like elephants wearing sunglasses.
There are hysterical things happening every day in Thailand. The trick is to spot the amusing moments and have a good laugh or snicker.
