Bangkok Smile/s Volume II

Add to cart$4.99Add to cartSecrets 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.Quick View -
Monkey Business in Thailand
$4.99 – $13.99 Jaggs, Peter
Select options$4.99 – $13.99Select optionsCome to Thailand and meet a sexy Isaan girl, fall in love and build a small house for less than the price of a second-hand car in the peaceful serenity of the Thai countryside and live happily ever after, far away from the hassles and headaches of modern urban life. Sounds like a dream come true, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, things don’t always turn out as planned. Monkey Business in Thailand tells the true story of what really happened when a Pattaya old-hand becomes disillusioned with the changes his favorite city has gone through during the past quarter of a century and succumbs to the charms of a determined young bar-girl, then attempts to do what many visitors to Thailand have contemplated. A must-read for anyone who is considering travelling or living in up-country Thailand, Peter Jaggs brings to life a host of unforgettable characters from the neon-lit backstreets of Pattaya to the dirt-roads and rice-fields of a rustic village in Sri Saket.
This book also opens up a treasure chest of folk-lore tales and insights into rural Thailand, as well as providing a fascinating look at some of the bird and animal life of the area. Monkey Business in Thailand moves from the shameless to the subtle in the wink of a bar-girl’s eye and provides the reader with a humorous and panoramic portrait of a foreigner living amongst the Isaan people and countryside. Unlike the old days, when a crowbar at least was needed to pry most male visitors away from Pattaya, in recent times it appears that more and more men are actually listening to their Thai girlfriends when they are urged to consider moving away from the ever-increasing pace of Thailand’s busiest tourist resort to a quiet haven deep in the Thai provinces. Of course, there are those that have already made the change; some with a measure of success and others, like the author of this book, with complete, spectacular failure.“I have read many books written by falangs over the last twenty eight years in coming to Thailand, after a while they become very same-same; so I was surprised to read ‘Monkey Business in Thailand’ as I’ve learnt more interesting things that I would never had known. Peter Jaggs has a wonderful ability to describe characters/ places/ food/ countryside/ travel and heartache. Where I see Thailand through CARTOON EYES Peter sees the same but through multi-coloured words. Peter Jaggs diaries open the doors for you to step into another world, one few people have ever seen. A lot of his memories will haunt you long after you have finished reading his book. His vivid descriptions are second to none when he takes you into rural Thailand.” MIKE BAIRD, CARTOONIST

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 -
Thai Liebesgeflüster (dual Deutsch-Thai)
$6.99 – $9.99 Doyle, Terence
Select options$6.99 – $9.99Select optionsZweisprachig: 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 -
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.
