Book written by local author

Postby Doc » October 16, 2006, 8:57 am

A local falang (Dave Thompson) has written and has had published a book about Thailand called Bangkok Kiss.

The story line is quite good. It is part auto-biographical and part fantasy. Despite the title of the book - it is not one of those typical bar girl type books. Actually, the primary character in the book turns out to be quite a moralistic bastard. He shows Thailand and falangs in a whole different light which is positive for both Thais and falangs. (He actually also makes the British seem a bit human in the process as well. :lol: :lol: )

The book can keep your attention and it is easy to read in one sitting. This is his first attempt at writing a book - and it turned out to be quite good. Well worth the read.

If you want something a bit different to do some day or evening, it can be picked up at the book store outside of Tops in the Complex and the Irish Clock has some copies as well.

You getting a commission on the sales then, Doc?

Actually, I've read the book and it is good. Tells a different side to the normal 'farang meets bargirl' type books!

Met the author as well....seems like a pleasant sort, for a Brit!
Life's a beach.
