Book Synopsis Bangkok Wakes to Rain by : Pitchaya Sudbanthad
Download or read book Bangkok Wakes to Rain written by Pitchaya Sudbanthad and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A house in the center of Bangkok becomes the point of confluence where lives are shaped by upheaval, memory, and the lure of home. Witness to two centuries' flux in one of the world's most restless cities, a house plays host to longings and losses past, present, and future. A nineteenth-century missionary doctor pines for the comforts of New England even as he finds the vibrant foreign chaos of Siam increasingly difficult to resist. A post-war society woman marries, mothers, and holds court, little suspecting the course of her future. A jazz pianist is summoned in the 1970s to conjure music that will pacify resident spirits, even as he's haunted by ghosts of his former life. Not long after, a young woman gives swimming lessons in the luxury condos that have eclipsed the old house, trying to outpace the long shadow of her political past. And in the post-submergence Bangkok of the future, a band of savvy teenagers guides tourists and former residents past waterlogged, ruined landmarks, selling them tissues to wipe their tears for places they themselves do not remember. Time collapses as these stories collide and converge, linked by blood, memory, yearning, chance, and the forces voraciously making and remaking the amphibian, ever-morphing city itself"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Stranded written by William McGaughey and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So there I stood, in the middle of the busiest street in Bangkok. I had lost 50 pounds, I was broke, had no food, an expired visa and no ticket home. I was without a doubtstranded. Stranded is the story of a young army brat struggling to find himself in the sex, drugs and rock and roll era that was the American hippy movement. At a vital age in his youth, Bill was forced to move to Southeast Asia, far from family, friends and anything he knew to be normal. After the dust of his culture shock settled, Bill's lust for adventure took over. He was determined to embrace everything this new world had to offer, but over the next few years he would become consumed by the darker side of Southeast Asia. Bill's family later moved back to the States after his graduation from the International School of Bangkok, but not before the city had planted a burning desire in his heart to one day revisit his home away from home. After years of living a nomadic existence across the States, Bill finally fulfilled his dream of one day returning to Thailand. It wasn't long before he realized old habits die hard and that his carefree lifestyle would inevitably lead him down a path of self-destruction. Bill's unique style of writing, coupled with an incredibly genuine approach to storytelling, allows the reader to feel as if they were right along with him for the ride. By the end of the story, you'll wonder how the two of you ever made it out of Bangkok alive.

Steve is a strong, austere young man who believes he can only depend on himself. Thailand is about to be the shock of his life. From the moment he lands, Steve feels conflicted. Can he apply his well-honed defenses in Thailand? Even with this struggle towards maturity, Steve's deep and humorous narrative carries the reader throughout Thailand. Through him, we learn the Thai language and culture, taste its many delicacies and travel throughout most of the country. Steve also explores Laos, India, Nepal, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. The adventures range from the beautiful to the ridiculous.

Through the people Steve meets, we learn the geopolitical histories and belief systems of various Asian cultures. These diverse exposures make a lasting impression on Steve and he blends aspects of each exotic perspective into his own life attitude. What will it do to you?
Download or read book TEFL Tourism written by Hayley Stainton and published by CABI. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is evident lineage between the concepts of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) and tourism, represented through evocative marketing material, the commoditisation of the TEFL product, teacher motivations and experiences. Yet, to date there has been no recognition of these links within industry or academia. This book introduces the concept of 'TEFL tourism', outlining the scale of the sector and the rapid commercialization of TEFL teaching across the world, locating it as an emerging form of niche tourism. The text outlines the organisation types and geographical locations, emphasizing the commodification of English language teaching. It also outlines the types of TEFL tourists, the complexities of international education, links with various tourism forms and sustainability considerations of the industry. The book will appeal to tourism academics and students, in particular those with interests in educational and volunteer tourism as well as sustainable tourism and commodification.
