| Publisher Description: This book is unique for 2 of the largest categories of people thinking about going to Thailand. Many books list all of the gorgeous touristy, places, but for the thoughtful people who want to have the safest, most carefree, happiest and intellectually fulfilling experience on their holiday, this is the only book extant, which will assure these things. This is not a "Travelogue" as such. Instead, it is shall we say a "travel enhancer and enabler" - one that will insure happy times while insulating from grief and costly misfortune. The wonderful, gentle, smiling, respectful, soft-spoken, tolerant, and happy fun-loving Thai people live the safest and most free and independent lives than any other on the planet- and you can as well, providing you take the time to understand and implement enough of their culture and life to do so. And if this is true for vacationers, it is exponentially true in spades for the potential Expatriate thinking of finding the safest place in the world to retire and/or just to live a happy life, find a loving dedicated wife, or companionship and romance with the most beautiful, sweet hearted women and girls in the world - providing you have the knowledge to do so that this book provides, and within the this happy mix, an easy, laid back lifestyle can be found and enjoyed. There is no better place than Thailand for all these things - providing you come armed with full knowledge of all the many cultural dangers and pitfalls that exist for the ignorant and uniformed. The many aspects of of Thai culture are difficult (to say the least) for a Westerner (or any foreigner) to understand without benefit of the experiences and advice of those who have lived all over that country for years, amongst average Thai people - even at times with them in their homes as a family member, for the express purpose of learning the Thai cultrue ...as has the author of this book. I will say straight out that there is no other book which will address all the compelling and necessary questions which Visitors and Expats need to have answered, so they can come, live, and be happy and secure in Thailand. Even long-term current Expats in Thailand will find this book amazing, enlightening and informative. You will keep it handy, and refer to it often as you pursue your dreams in "The Land of Smiles". ...ETM |
