Finlaco Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi Does anyone recall the name of a book written by a British female who married a local isan guy and settled on isan for 5 years or so? I think I remember the title including a reference to Mekong, moon and whisky. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I don't know that one, but a good book about a Canadian girl living near Issan is Touch The Dragon: A Thai Journalby Karen Connelly. It is one of my favorites. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/389612.Touch_The_Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An older one, written by a teacher at Chula, whose name I've forgotten, is Mae Pen Rai Means Never Mind, and deals with Bangkok in the 1950s. Also highly recommended.

Ulysses G. Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I always go through Denchai on my way to Nong Khai, so it seemed close to Issan to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wym Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Kind of rings a bell, but after a bit of google foo I'm thinking must have been self-published, or maybe by one of the bookshop chains and not released internationally? Can't believe the forum software auto-deletes the string "eff yoo" as in foo manchu. Maybe as an abbreviation but. . .
