Summary: A Must-Read for anyone heading to Thailand
Comment: I spent three years doing research on Thai bar girls and this book pretty well sums it up. I, myself, helped women write letters to their Western "boyfriends," and they were exactly like some of those in the book. Read the book and you'll understand what's really going on in their minds. Besides that, this book is HILLARIOUS. You will fall off your chair laughing (unless one of the letters was sent to you)

Summary: Boring Book Ruins An Interesting Topic
Comment: This book represents a well conceived but primitively executed publication in which the "author(s)" have merely collected a series of forlorn but repeditive "love" letters to Bangkok go-go dancers from their smitten, oddball foreign "customers". The letters themselves do reflect a kind of sappy desperation, but grow very boring very quickly. The book includes several interviews with the bar girls themselves which prove to be the only interesting part; both in the girl's world outlook and in their comical butchery of the English language. Otherwise, this book is a waste.

The most annoying thing about the book is the photographs- they look like they were taken twenty years ago with some tourist's Kodak Disk camera. Almost half seem to be of katoeys (male transsexuals/ transvestites) and all are thoroughly uninspired. The "authors" seem to limit themselves only to women in the Patpong go-go bar areas and do not explore other issues in the strange farang/bargirl subculture. It is hard to believe somebody could publish such an uninteresting book based on such a bizarre and fascinating topic as the Bangkok sex trade, but this is it. BORING.

Summary: Prositutes and the Men Who Love Them
Comment: Most books are bound with the hooves of crushed horses. This book is bound with the dreams of crushed men.
