The author served in the Royal Hong Kong Police from 1960 to 1993 and, after discovering Thailand in the late sixties, visited the “Land of Smiles” at least once each year. After leaving Hong Kong and returning to his native Wales he continued to visit for a month each Spring and Autumn. He consummated his love for Thailand by marrying a young Thai lady who unfortunately died, still young, from cancer. In the course his visits he naturally became well acquainted with the night scene in Pattaya and, being an experienced observer, acquired the material that provides the basis for this book. The vignettes in this book capture a wide spectrum of Pattaya nightlife and provide the reader with an easy to read but interesting voyage into the pathos and the humour that exists behind the bright lights. For anyone who has visited Pattaya it will bring back memories and for those yet to visit a taste of what is awaiting them. The author has also published “Reminiscences of a Hong Kong Chailo” about his life in the police force in Hong Kong.

Cold-blooded Thai bargirls, naïve tourists and sordid scams – it was all in a night's work for Pattaya bar manager Simon Los. Pouring their hearts out at the bar are a tourist who reclaims his masculinity with the help of a ladyboy, a retired financier who invests thousands in a business with a woman he meets on the streets of Pattaya, a desperate Irishman who breaks the law in his pursuit of love, a high-net-worth visitor who is traded between bargirls, and many others whose heart strings are pulled to the point of breaking. For years, British expat Simon Los worked the bars of Pattaya. Befriending Thai staff as well as western and local customers, he was privy to the dating despair – and occasional joy – of countless couples. That bargirls would go to such lengths to deceive their farang boyfriends, out of poverty or greed, was not unexpected, but Simon was also surprised to see some of his customers find true love in the Land of Smiles.

Essays, stories and articles about Thailand and in particular about Pattaya. The writer takes a critical look at Fun City, Pattaya, at its drug-like pull, and warns readers and punters alike of the alluring dangers of the city. Some articles contrast Thailand with Britain, establishing why living in Thailand is preferable to living in the highly repressive regime of the UK. However, common sense and moderation are extremely important if catastrophes are to be avoided in Pattaya, catastrophes that include accidents, financial ruin, long-term illness, and worse. The collection includes voices and vices, not just the author's voice and vice but multitudinous characters' voices and vices. Pattaya, alcohol, heat, sex, endless partying, and ambiguity can indeed drive punters mad. The collection of voices, essays, blogs, discourses, articles and observations may enable the discerning to avoid some of the most common mistakes people make in an extreme city like Pattaya. Even if given a mere, general read, the collection should act as a brake (and break) to and from the merry-go-round of endless sensation with little or no commitment. Although not overtly moralistic, the book is seriously comic and comically serious. Flippant cannot describe the tone of voice of "Mixed Massages (I)". Messages and massages abound and astound.

Thailand is known as the 'Land of Smiles', but beyond the smiles there is a darker side to the kingdom. These seven true stories show that drugs, deceit, scams and sordid ping pong shows have become an undeniable and accepted part of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand, namely Pattaya, Bangkok and Phuket. Caught on Camera and Pattaya Youtuber are two gripping modern stories that show the old saying 'what happens in Thailand, stays in Thailand' no longer holds true. Visitors to Thailand, beware!

Promising sun, sea, sand and more, Pattaya beach resort in Thailand lures eight million foreign tourists annually. However, behind the glitter lurks broken dreams, ethereal ecstasy and, often, tragedy. And behind every bargirl’s smile and every foreigner’s beer glass lurks a story: happy, touching, heart-wrenching. The author interviews bargirls, mamasans and customers, who reveal true stories of sex scams, doomed relationships and tragic suicides. The author’s investigation takes him to the capital, Bangkok, as well as to an Isaan village in northeastern Thailand, and further afield to Saigon in Vietnam and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. He returns to Pattaya with a warning: You enter the manipulative world of the Pattaya bargirls at your own risk!

Wongsurawat looks at the history of Thailand since the mid-nineteenth century and uses events to elucidate basic economic models and concepts. He selects defining moments in Thailand’s history to convey key economic ideas worthy of classroom discussion. Written without excessive jargon, the chapters connect complex historical phenomena with broader, transportable economic concepts. The cases range from the signing of the Bowring Treaty in 1855, opening Siam to the forces of globalization, to the Asian Financial Crisis that wreaked havoc on the economy in 1997. Key economic terms are also explained. Reconnecting the increasingly distant fields of history and economics, this is an appealing text to researchers with an interest in Thailand’s economic history, as well as undergraduates undergoing an introductory economics course or overseas program in Thailand.
