BANGKOK — What do Thai women want from German boyfriends? Why do some dream of moving to the West? What do farang men find by paying for love and affection after coming to Thailand? Stereotypes about sex tourism and interracial relationships at various levels will be explored through a physical performance on a Bangkok stage.

Have trouble writing a complete sentence without having to edit it, eh?

Not really. I could have written "German" instead of "Farang". But I'm a polite man, so I don't use swear words.
