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.

Angels of Pattaya offers a unique insight into the world of organised prostitution in Pattaya. In their own words, the bar girls of Pattaya reveal how they became involved in vice, their lives, their hopes for the future and what they think of their "customers". Many are poor and uneducated, others come from relatively well-to-do Thai families. Some engage in prostitution out of desperation for money, others out of greed. Some even view it as an easy lifestyle which allows them to drink and party all night and sleep until the afternoon. A few say they hope to meet a good man who will take them away from prostitution. Their confessions will make you laugh and cry, cringe and applaud. This book will change your perception of the women who work in Pattaya's go-go bars forever.
