What Are the Most Interesting Themes in Fictional Writing About Thailand?
Just finished reading a short novel set in Bangkok called Bangkok Interchanges (ISBN 979-8289494917). I believe it was published late last month. It’s a quick, engaging read and I really enjoyed it. What stood out to me is how it avoids the usual repetitive themes often found in Bangkok-set fiction. The story feels fresh and strikes a nice balance between light and suspenseful, with a touch of mysticism and spiritual depth. Worth checking out if you're in the mood for something a bit different. Front and back covers if you're curious: -

Report Pattaya Herbal Scam: Tourist Loses 51k Baht in Hair Tonic Hoax
Picture courtesy of Pattaya News In a case that highlights ongoing consumer fraud in Pattaya, Thai authorities have launched a crackdown after an Indian tourist was duped out of 51,000 baht (£1,100) by sellers hawking bogus baldness remedies. Ajaykumar, the victim, reported encountering three men near the Baywalk Hotel who convinced him to check out a supposed miracle hair tonic. Enticed by promises of a new head of hair, he followed them to a discreet shop where he handed over 15,000 baht in cash and transferred 99,000 rupees for three bottles of dubious liquid and four bars of soap. Realising he'd fallen prey to a scam, Ajaykumar quickly filed a complaint at the Pattaya City Police Station. Responding to his report, Lieutenant Colonel Torlap Tinamat of the Tourist Police Division 2 led a raid on the store. However, the site was found abandoned. Not deterred, the police targeted a nearby shop on Soi 13/2 and apprehended six individuals—two Pakistani men and four Thai women—on charges of selling unregistered herbal products and working without permits. Officers seized various concoctions, including butterfly pea powder and coconut oil, which matched the items described by Ajaykumar. The Pattaya police stress their commitment to combating fraud, as reports of deceitful traders pushing fake miracle cures have surged over the past year. Both locals and tourists are urged to exercise caution and report suspicious activities to authorities. This incident underscores the need for vigilance when dealing with unsolicited street vendors, as scams continue to evolve, targeting vulnerable tourists seeking quick fixes. Police action aims to deter such practices, protecting Pattaya's reputation as a tourist haven. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-09 -
