 If you can find it, this is an excellent book on Thai culture 

This is a good book for the general culture.....I have a copy on my desk. But not really the book for inside info on Thai ladies.

Where did you buy it and how much? I lost my copy.

you're looking for this book: http://www.asiabooks.com/thai-for-lovers-crb-a-complete-guide-to-the-romantic-culture-of-thailand-139507.html

 

There's another 1 called "No Money, No Honey" but I believe the 1st 1 is the book you're referring to.

Private Dancer is set around farangs and bar girls, so may or may not be a good read for your mate.

"Stephen Leather's novel is fiction, but it certainly feels like a documentary of a doomed Thai girl - Western guy relationship that happens all the time in Thailand. The story has a lot of the tired stereotypes, but Leather uses a great dose of humor to keep the pages turning. It is ultimately a book about unrealistic expectations of Thai women and Western men as they pursue a better life, and the inevitable collapse. It would have been more fun if it wasn't so depressing, but a great read for anyone curious about cross-cultural relationships."
 

Any book on the Govt. "banned books" list will do........

Private Dancer is a great book and a fun read. Try also some of Christopher G. Moore's books. 

 

I downloaded this book online and printed it.

After reading the first 2 chapters did I throw the rest in the garbage bin, thats where this book belongs as it is garbage.

The worst drivel I ever read, fantasy.

If the writer did any research, which I doubt, under bargirls then these girls had a good laugh and fed him some BS stories.
