About this product

Product Information

A passionate, affectionate record of adventures and misadventures in the world's hottest metropolis. Tourists come to Bangkok for many reasons- a night of love, a stay in a luxury hotel, or simply to disappear for a while. Lawrence Osborne comes for the cheap dentistry, and then stays when he finds he can live off just a few dollars a day. Osborne's Bangkok is a vibrant, instinctual city full of contradictions. He wanders the streets, dining on insects, trawling through forgotten neighbourhoods, decayed temples and sleazy bars. Far more than a travel book, Bangkok Days explores both the little-known, extraordinary city and the lives of a handful of doomed ex-patriates living there, 'as vivid a set of liars and losers as was ever invented by Graham Greene' (New York Times).

True experiences of living in Bangkok
I am taking two older granddaughters to Bangkok later this year. I have visited Bangkok several times so reading the story I can imagine where he is and what he is doing. I am enjoying it.
