I've been an expat living in Bangkok since 1983. Secretly married right out of college to my upper class Thai
girlfriend nine years earlier, it took me that long to struggle for acceptance. Two years ago, I started writing a
memoir inspired novel, "Thai Lies", about getting bounced around between the states, Europe, and constantly
sneaking back into Thailand. From the mountains of Chiang Mai, to the border of Cambodia, to the border
border towns of Malaysia, with all the best diving sites in between, it's a unique view of their culture. If you
really want to understand the Thai mindset as opposed to the bar girl mentality, it covers everything from
cultural motivation to bigoted abuse. It just got published on Amazon as a Kindle e-book by TJ BaRoss. Just
one suggestion, if you're reading it around the pool, be sure to have plenty of sunscreen on hand. It's over 500
pages. Best of the New Year to all of you. Now that I've found this site, I look forward to getting to know
y'all.
