I have not read this book yet, but I will recommend it anyway.
This book deals with subjects that all men traveling in Thailand should become knowledgeable of. It is to your advantage to seek out many opinions on a particular subject, then analyze your observations and then apply the laws of averages or probability to decide a course of action.

By studying and learning about the customs, culture and language of Thailand will place yourself more in a position of strength than of weakness. This translates into "keeping yourself out of trouble".

Knowledge will help to prevent folks from taking advantage of you, and of course, by learning proper Thai manners, you will command "a little respect" because you show respect for the culture by seriously leaning about it. Look at it this way, folks, at least you will "have a clue" as to what is happening around you. Forewarned is forearmed.

WARNING - Some of the words in this book and used in this course are quite explicit

Thai for Lovers - Cassette Tapes:
Thai language lessons on Cassette Tape - review and comments


These Thai language tapes were designed by a native speaker of Thai to be used along with the Thai phrase book Thai for Lovers, to help you learn the proper pronounciation of Thai words.

The book, Thai for Lovers, was written as a stand alone study guide to the Thai language of romance. It is not required that you purchase the language tapes.

Of course, if you want to get the most out of the book and learn to speak the Thai language of love more quickly, then it is highly recommended that you purchase the book and the tapes together.

I keep the Thai language books and the Thai language cassette tapes in stock here in Washington DC USA and can ship the books and tapes immediately.

Please note that you can save money on shipping by purchasing the Thai language book and the language tapes at the same time because the two items can be shipped together in the same package.

Also note that I have made provisions in my postage rate tables ( below ) for folks who wish to purchase more than one item, for example, two books or a book and a set of tapes. If you purchase them separately, then you pay double the postage.

If you do not understand the postage rate tables, email me first.
 

I have been hearing a lot about this book lately.

It sounds as though it just might be a very interesting and informative reference material for gentlemen venturing to Bangkok, Thailand on holiday. The web site at the Barnes and Noble link above, has a tremendous amount of reviews written by readers of this book.

When I first heard about this book I did not want to read it because I thought that it would be just another stupid boring book about Bangkok nightlife. Next I heard that it was written by a woman doing research. At that point, I really began to have my doubts about the validity of the work due to the fact that men and women see life quite differently. As time went on though, the reports have continued to flow in and many have been quite favorable.

So, although I have never read it, I will recommend this book. It deals with subjects that All Men traveling in Thailand should become aware and knowledgeable of, specifically, the ups and downs of the nightlife scene in Bangkok. It is always good to view many opinions on a particular subject.

The excerpt below is from the Barnes and Noble site.

Cleo Odzer, a young American anthropologist, spent three years studying Bangkok's red-light district, Patpong, an area of a few blocks teeming with bars and explicit sex shows. Patpong is now world-famous for its available and extremely attractive young women and men, who cater mainly to farangs - foreigners, most of them men but some women, who come from Europe, Australia, America, and Japan. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.
