Sow Thai Lawang Farang!

I logged on to add this post before seeing the separate post looking for a professional office type in which OP says not all guys are scum bags, which I am sure is true. What is on my mind is related however.

The book "Sow Thai Lawang Farang" is a good warning to Thai women. It is published only in Thai.

While perhaps most farang men who come to Udon are nice guys, there are some visitors who figure out that Thailand can be easy pickings of innocent and sincere young ladies, and many of these ladies may end up with nothing more than unrequited love.

I know of a role reversal in which one of those coveted office lady/banker types turned out to be a real scammer, extracting plenty from numerous guys both Thai and farang (quite a juggling act this one), in return for the pleasure of her company behind closed doors.

Caveat Emptor
(does that work in this context?)

ohboy ohboy ohboy! I've just finished up my first Thai novel...a story of a Thai woman who prostituted herself in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Bahrain, and Patpong....and ended up marrying a foreigner. It was a tough read (language wise)....but now I need a follow on. This book sounds like a candidate! Maybe it'll give some fodder for thread discussion on udonmap!

There's some insight into the book at http://www.siamhoney.com/cute_thai_girl ... ....titled "As the Cute Thai Girls Aren't Like London Buses"

If you're gf is reading the book shown at http://www.se-ed.com/TextBook/Quotation ... 9747884784, you can expect her to be enlightened by the author's words of wisdom.

Sow Thai Lawang Farang (สาวไทย ระวังฝรั่ง) = Watch Out for that Foreigner, Young Woman! (my translation)

Thanks for the post, rct!

I scribbled down "Sow Thai Lawang Farang (สาวไทย ระวังฝรั่ง)" on a slip of paper and put it on my dash as a reminder to buy the book next time I'm in town. The wife inquired: "why not buy the book that says "Khun Farang, Lawang Sow Thai (คุณฝรั่ง ระวังสาวไทย)/Foreigner, Beware of Thai Women")
And that got me to thinking that there's some money to be made.......if someone could write a book that details some of the pitfalls of Farang/Thai relationships, without spewing a bunch of anti-Thai-isms (anti bargirl, anti Isaan girl, anti poor Thai girl, anti any Thai girl....you get the picture).
The title of the first book could be something like: "I've Done Been Educated Enough, I Don't Want a Degree from WBU".....and the follow-on could be "I got my Bachelor's Degree from WBU.......and Now I'm Trying to Avoid a Master's". A gold-leaf limited edition of PhD volumes could be written for the few who never seem to get it right.

Just thinkin'
