I had read Thai Fever because a friend had told me it was a good read.Well I woulnd not say it is a good read but an ok read.I found much of it did not pertain to my wife and I.It seemed that it is geared to the "bar girl"and the westerner that partakes of the same seen.On the other hand my wife liked it as a book to read not so much as a manual for Thai western relationships.Well enough said on that.
These are three books that I did enjoy reading and have actually read them more then once.I have found the information in them of use to me.The illustrations in them are entertaining as well.A bit on the expensive side but still a great read.700thb at Asia Books
