Raconteur's Pattaya Tales by Geoffrey Franklin Stories from Pattaya Somewhere between an international fantasy world and one of harsh reality, the characters in these wide ranging stories become involved in humourous, dangerous, sometimes violent adventures, set against a colourful backdrop of flora and fauna, festivals, arcane beliefs and ghosts. Here, dreams are often perceived as future indicators and reincarnation is seldom, if ever questioned. Nothing is forever, or quite what it seems to be. The only certainty is life is never dull or grey. These stories are fictional, but truth is often is often stranger than fiction and every good yarn has an essential thread of truth within it. Many of the events in these stories often involved or were witnessed by the author. Geoffrey Franklin is an English Artist-Writer who studied Art and Design at the Birmingham and Royal College of Art, London. A Pattaya resident for eight years, he has painted many of the delights of South East Asia. Angkor Wat, Cambodia in particular. He is now writing books and short stories based on the strange, often mystical experiences he has encountered in Thailand. Paperback,
