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.
Book Synopsis Thailand Confidential by : Jerry Hopkins
Download or read book Thailand Confidential written by Jerry Hopkins and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wanna stand in the face of a charging elephant, get hit by a motorcycle, eat giant water bugs, blowtorch your mouth on some of the hottest chili peppers on earth, then go watch a sex change operation? Of course you don't, but, happily, Jerry Hopkins has done all that and more--lots more--in this darkly humorous, deeply affectionate, clear-eyed but never patronizing portrait of Thailand, his adopted home. Highly recommended." --Tim Cahill, author of Lost in My Own Backyard, Hold the Enlightenment and Jaguars Ripped My Flesh "After over a decade in the country, Hopkins knows and loves his subject dearly--that much is obvious--and his vivid portrait projects that love from every page." --Jann Wenner, editor and founder of Rolling Stone Magazine "A loving expose of everything that's wonderful about Thailand, and much that isn't. Should be required reading for all newcomers." --Joe Cummings, author of the Lonely Planet Thailand Guide Writer Jerry Hopkins came to Thailand for a visit in the 1980s, and ended up a permanent resident with a temporary visa--a big, white farang haunting the bars and back alleys of Bangkok. His essays explore the mystery and mayhem of "The Land of Smiles" to hilarious--and sometimes disturbing--effect. Travel with him to a place where whisky is rum, water buffaloes are gay, insects are dinner, dildos are lucky charms, and your wildest adolescent fantasies can come true (for a nominal fee).

Book excerpt: In the colorful tradition of Orwell and Hemingway, Jerry Hopkins recalls his first decade as a Bangkok expatriate by profiling twenty-five of the city's most unforgettable characters. In 25 vivid profiles, Hopkins explores what motivates people to leave home and the unforeseen adventures that can befall them once abroad. Hopkin's knack for the biography is evident in his coverage of individuals ranging from famous performers to ordinary businesspeople. The 25 true stories include the lives of: The Real Colonel Kurtz? --An American soldier who allegedly was the model for Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. The Oscar Winner --An acclaimed screenwriter who moves to the city of Bangkok to die. Urban Gorilla Priest --A Catholic priest who founded Mercy Centre in one of the city's harshest slums. The Odd Couple -- A circus clown turned computer programmer turned restaurateur. Professor Elephant-- A documentary filmmaker living with elephants. All of these individuals "escaped" to Thailand to re-invent themselves and live out their fantasies in one of the world's most notorious cities. Bangkok Babylon shares their exciting true stories, many of which are stranger than fiction.

This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN AMAZON BESTSELLER! LIVE YOUR DREAMS! RETIRE WORRY-FREE! FIND A LOVING COMPANION! Your buying power will almost triple in Thailand. If you're a pensioner or on Social Security and choose a city other than Bangkok, you'll probably feel like the richest guy in town! If you're younger and have enough savings, you can retire years early, like I did! It's so cheap to live here, on a modest budget you can live a life of luxury: Dining in the finest restaurants, having a maid, getting daily massages, staying in fancy hotels, vacationing on the beach, exploring Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket, Saigon, Bali, Angeles, and other exciting cities in Southeast Asia... In my beautiful city you can rent a lovely studio apartment with 60+ channel cable TV and views for as little as $100 a month! Or you can buy a nice cozy home or condo for as little as $20,000! Dental and medical care are world-class, and the price is low. You'll be living the American Dream- only in Thailand! LOVE IS HARD TO FIND IN THE US OR UK. IT'S EASY TO FIND IN THAILAND! I had a hard time finding a compatible partner in America. After my divorce I found that the kind of woman I wanted - someone like the girls I knew in high school - no longer existed. Instead I went on computer dates with women who seemed mostly interested in how much money I had and what kind of car I drove and did I own or rent? Nobody seemed interested in me. I was miserable. And lonely. I kept getting told I was too old for the women I was attracted to. After awhile, I stopped dating altogether. THAI WOMEN DON'T CARE HOW OLD YOU ARE! THEY LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN YOU! Much to my amazement, I found that age differences don't matter to most Thai women! That's not true in Latin America, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, or even the Philippines- and certainly not in the West. Thai women are Buddhists, and they believe we're all part of an endless cycle of birth and death, and it doesn't seem to matter to them where you are on that cycle. They have been taught to respect age- and they do. They've been taught to please men- and they do! You can be 40 or 70 - and many girls here will still find you attractive. Further, they look for the good much more than Western women. You can be overweight, plain, a smoker- girls there are much more accepting than back home. YOU CAN BE A PLAYBOY. OR YOU CAN DO WHAT I DID AND FIND ONE GIRL TO LOVE! Moving here, I totally transformed my life. I went from living poor to living like a wealthy man would back home. I went from living alone and miserable to being the biggest playboy- for awhile. I'd have 3 dates a day- and some of the girls were just knockouts. The sort of women who wouldn't give me the time of day in America were vying for my attention! But ultimately I found being a playboy just didn't suit me (although I have many happy memories!)- and I found a lovely and peaceful woman straight out of my dreams who was delighted to marry me! We've been together 12 years now. Plus, I have great friends, a lazy dog, a 4 year old niece who pops by to play with me everyday- and I live in a mansion I built for $60,000! This is my story. I tell it- not to brag- but to give you an example of what you can do in your own life. NOT READY TO RETIRE, BUT READY FOR LOVE? Lots of guys meet girls here and take them home- It's easy to fall in love with Thai girls! In the sequel to this book, FINDING THE LOVE YOU WANT IN THAILAND, I share comments and stories from 50 guys who looked for a devoted companion and found one- or didn't- in Thailand. Then, they and I share our personal and very detailed advice for how to succeed. Your dreams can come true... in Thailand!
