Each account into the lives of the bargirls offers depth beyond the tale... Each chapter jogs your memory like a friendly tour guide."

Very autobiographical with many amusing and serious tales from a none too successful venture. The ... insight into the bar trade is excellent ammunition for the game of life in Pattaya. The book then widens out to take in gambling scams and media manipulation of Pattaya's unique image ... we pick up many fascinating lessons about Thailand..." www.thaianxiety.com "The book races along from one encounter to another, while building a common thread throughout. It gives an insight into the rich tapestry of characters that somehow find their way to Pattaya ...
