Thai Liebesgeflüster (dual Deutsch-Thai)

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.
Love Talk 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.Quick View -
Paradise in Limbo
$3.99 Coxon, Tim
Add to cart$3.99Add to cartParadise in Limbo is a semi-fictionalized account of what happens when West meets East and the often bizarre experiences which ensue. It relates tales of bluff and double bluff, deception and intrigue perpetrated by both the protagonists and antagonists. Unlike many of the tomes of a similar genre, it is relatively balanced in that it relates the interactive experiences of both farang (the Thai catchall for all Westerners) males and Thai females. This is possible because the author has penetrated the secret world of the Thai female.
The book highlights the follies of those naïve farang men who, as the phrase has it, leave their brains at Suvarnabhumi Airport (an almost universal initial experience), but occasionally tells of those who have turned the tables on the Thais and played them at their own games. It also shows in stark relief the miasmic, dreamlike characteristics of these close encounters and serves to illustrate the truism that, for many, Thailand, in general, and Pattaya, in particular, is the place of shattered dreams. Though frequently larger than life, the tales are grounded in reality and stand the test of both truth and time. More than anything else, it is an essential handbook for the first-time male traveller to Thailand, which, if inwardly digested, will save the ‘lambs’ from being sheared and from experiencing untold heartaches.Quick View -
Thailand Bar Girls’ Men: Saints and Sinners
$4.99 – $12.99 Jaggs, Peter
Select options$4.99 – $12.99Select optionsThere have been hundreds of books about the girls who ply the oldest trade in the world around the bars and night-spots of Thailand and it is certainly arguable that yet another volume on the subject would be excess to requirements. However, up until now it is true to say that nobody has ever given the girls and women in question a chance to have their say about the men who come to peruse the neon-lit jungles of the country and pay for their company and the author feels that it is high time somebody did so.
It is undeniable that the vast majority of books written about Thailand’s bar-girls depict them as mercenary, money-grabbing scammers and it would be naïve and perhaps even foolish for anybody to believe that in a large number of cases this is not true. Maybe this is why most of the males who appear in Thai bar-girl literature appear as unfortunate, love-struck nice-guys who didn’t know any better and who did not deserve to be wronged by a cheating schemer, however convincing, sexy and genuine she might have seemed at the time.
But there are always two sides to every story. The fifteen true tales and anecdotes in ‘Thailand bar-girls’ men; Saints & Sinners’ are straight from the seductive lips of the girls who work the bars and streets of Thailand and they show that there are gentleman amongst their customers who are truly gallant as well as rogues whose appalling behavior at times borders on the demonic. Men who have spent any time at all around the night streets of Thailand will be able to identify these character types amongst the stories in this book and some might even recognize themselves.
Apart from underlining the fact that there is good and bad in everyone and in all walks of life, the stories in ‘Thailand Bar Girls’ Men; Saints & Sinners’ do not attempt to draw any conclusions as to whether it is the women of Thailand or the foreigners who come to meet them who are right or wrong but simply states the facts in order to allow the reader to make up his or her own mind, although they definitely do offer an insight into why some Thai bar-girls have chosen to become the way they are.
‘Jaggs is a rare kind of ex-pat, relishing the atmosphere of Pattaya and its charming women and communicating the romantic ups and downs of the city with a perfectly targeted common touch’ Richard Ravensdale; Pattaya ex-pats club Vice President
‘Jaggs has become like a master brewer, skillfully distilling a wealth of living experiences into some very funny moments in Fun City’

Thailand Love Talk (dual English-Thai)
$6.99 – $9.99 Doyle, Terence
Select options$6.99 – $9.99Select optionsDual English & Thai
The Land of Smiles has many attractions to the overseas visitor, but none more powerful or better appreciated around the world than the alluring smiles of the young ladies working in its many bars.
The magnetic draw of beautiful, lissome Thai bar girls sees tens of thousands of westerners arrive, phrase books in hand – and confusion reigning from the moment they try to engage in meaningful conversation with their new-found ‘best friends’.
Communications breakdowns in such situations are the norm, rather than the exception – and they are multi-faceted, their roots and tentacles reaching far beyond simple linguistic barriers.
Love Talk takes a humorous look at some of the communications barriers faced by westerners enjoying for the first time the delights of long nights sipping cold beers in the company of warm-hearted women eager to get to know them better. With an insightful nod to the cultural divide that separates the typical western bar-lover and his new Thai girlfriend, Love Talk fills in the blanks and settles a few scores along the way.Quick View
