ontheghost Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hey guys, I am not able to travel two of my favorite countries this summer, so can some of you recommend some good books set in Laos or Thailand? I've read Prayer Before Dawn and Private Dancer. I enjoyed them both. Any help would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontheghost Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Read The Last Executioner, and I also enjoyed A Secret History of the Bangkok Hilton by the same writer. Lost in Yaba looks very good. Not sure about Siri Paiboon series. I prefer non-fiction. Thanks so much for the suggestions though. Anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
