What's the worst book about Thailand that you ever read?

Featured Replies

The title of this topic says it all. Unless someone creates an anthology of all of Bob Smith’s AN posts, then here’s my entry: My Wife in Bangkok by Rory O’Merry, published in 1990.
 

If you don’t want to take my word for it and still feel the need to subject yourself to literary masochism, you can read it online for free via the link below. May the gods of good taste have mercy on your soul.

Literary synopsis: “My Wife in Bangkok: A Romantic Guide to the City” by Rory O’Merry, first published on April 1, 1990, offers an introduction to Bangkok’s sex industry at the end of the last millennium. The book has been characterized as a blend of personal narrative and guidebook, providing insights into the socio-cultural dynamics of Thailand’s sex industry. However, it has received mixed reviews, with some readers critiquing its writing quality and the author’s justifications for his involvement in the industry.

So his wife is a man and he's gay? Has anal sex and gets AIDS. Then goes on to warn others about the risks of nightlife Bangkok.

 

Sorry dude I think this is a YOU problem. Pretty easy to avoid unprotected butt sex with obvious ladyboys if you wanted to.

The book is also filled with lots of black-and-white photos. Some of them are pretty atrocious.

Documentary photo of Bob's wife at work from the book. To imagine she was actually young at one time.

You always have nothing interesting to add. Worst troll ever. Steady as she goes.

Probably the worst book I've read. This azzclown is going on about annexing Thailand for national security reasons. Specifically targeting Soi Cowboy in Bangkok as a "Camp David II" for important summit meetings with distinguished diplomats.

No reason to fight over that.  There are a few million of those out there who are willing and able.  :thumbsup:

You obviously haven't read  "The Art of the Deal" 

Everyone knows it's about Thailand.

It's probably the best book on Thailand around!
