Book Description:
Initially this collection of short stories examined the many sided relationships between young Thai ladies and older Western men. Many of the relationships are doomed from the start: ‘Remember Your First’ and ‘Rich Man, Poor Man’.

I looked too at the conditions in which many farangs live whilst in Thailand. For many it is in a walled and gated community where relationships can become strained in this confinement; ‘The Committee’ or ‘On Guard’.

Living in Pattaya for over five years many of the stories are set against this backdrop; ‘The Auction’ and ‘Room 101’. Some of the stories reflect the influx of visitors of many nationalities; the Russian ‘Vladimir and the jet-ski problem; the Indian tourists Rajiv and Rahul and the young backpackers who take incriminating photos in a Go-Go bar; the ‘Chocolate man’ who rescues a damsel in distress.
