This is about how Andrew Hicks met Cat, a ‘Thai girl’ half his age and how they set up home together in her village out in the rice fields of North Eastern Thailand. He'll tell you of toads in the toilet, of ants' eggs for breakfast, how they took up frog farming and how he got married without really meaning to. It's also a book about the countryside, of the old Thailand where the rhythm of the seasons and belief in the spirits and Buddhism remain strong. Though how could Andrew, a greying English lawyer, ever fit into the lives of a Thai rice farming family? Can Cat and Andrew with their many differences really be compatible?

Thai women are special. If you don't believe this, please explain to me why men come to Thailand from all over the world to enjoy Thai women and possibly take them home with them. I suggest it's a combination of how Thai culture is reflected in their character ... and how well put together they are. Laos, Cambodia and Indonesia are all SE Asian countries full of available and attractive women who are looking for someone to help them move toward a better life. But it's Thailand that gets all the action. Thai culture somehow turns out women with a strong appeal to foreign men. This book is intended to help a foreign man better understand something of the worldview of most Thai women. I have known a Thai woman for four years and been married to her for three. She has six sisters. All seven women have different personalities but all seven share some Thai-ness. It would be a mistake to imagine that everything I mention in this book applies to all Thai women. My wife's family and her large group of women friends are all middle to upper class. It's very possible they represent a set of values that is much different than those of a bar girl in Bangkok hawking 500 baht happy endings. I hope reading this book will suggest to you how a middle to upper class Thai woman looks at the world ... and at you. Most importantly, I will try to convey to you what Thai women are looking for, and not looking for, in a man. Thai culture and what it instills in Thai women is not for everyone. I have tried to present some appealing and some not so appealing aspects of Thai women. I have gone into some of these issues in other books I''ve written about Thai culture. I hope if you like this book, you will also try "Nine Reasons Why An Old American Man Should Move To Thailand." Thailand can be an amazing adventure for some men. Thai women are a big part of that adventure. I hope this book will help you in deciding if these adventures are a good fit with your needs.

"This is Thailand" is the riveting real-life account of Marek Lenarcik's blind leap from the safe, comfortable and utterly bullshit, corporate world of Dublin to the charming, exotic beaches of Thailand. With rose-tinted glasses firmly in place, Marek fully expects to find a land of exotic fruits, beautiful women and an easy-going tropical lifestyle. Which he does. At first. Traveling from Phuket to Bangkok and throughout Thailand's exotic locales, Marek's desire to experience all the forbidden fruits Thailand has to offer leads him to Piam, a gorgeous, kind, independent Thai girl who, he is convinced, might well be the one. But as he immerses himself deeper into this strange country, replete with often inexplicable thought-patterns, worldviews and customs, Marek begins to discover a much darker, more complex side to the Land of Smiles and its inhabitants. Soon, Piam begins to reveal her true colours. It soon dawns on him that, despite his best intentions (most of the time), he has been ensnared -- as have many men before him -- by the dreaded Honey Trap. The stormy relationship that ensues provides a fascinating backdrop to the insights into Thailand's unique culture that stem from Marek's efforts to come to terms with the reality of the country and the people who call it home.
