Angels of Pattaya: Inside the Secret World of Thai Prostitution

by G.T. Gray

 

Traded in @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Guesthouse / Cafe, #Pattaya.

 

Angels of Pattaya offers a unique insight into the world of organised prostitution in Pattaya.

In their own words, the bar girls of Pattaya reveal how they became involved in vice, their lives, their hopes for the future and what they think of their “customers”. Many are poor and uneducated, others come from relatively well-to-do Thai families.

Some engage in prostitution out of desperation for money, others out of greed.

Some even view it as an easy lifestyle which allows them to drink and party all night and sleep until the afternoon.

A few say they hope to meet a good man who will take them away from prostitution.

The Merry Misogynist by Colin Cotterill.

 

Traded in recently @ Canterbury Tales Book exchange * Guesthouse * Cafe, #Pattaya.

 

In poverty stricken 1978 Laos, a man with a truck from the city was “somebody,” a catch for even the prettiest village virgin. The corpse of one of these bucolic beauties turns up in Dr. Siri’s morgue and his curiosity is piqued.

The victim was tied to a tree and strangled but she had not, as the doctor had expected, been raped, although her flesh had been torn.

And though the victim had clear, pale skin over most of her body, her hands and feet were gnarled, callused, and blistered.

Almost but not quite.

Honour and drugs don't always mix in the Caribbean . . . Nick Breakspear thinks he's opted for the easy life, but acting as nursemaid for the idle rich aboard the luxury yacht Wavebreaker in the Bahamas does have its downside. Especially when you come across a bullet ridden boat not far from the infamous drug baron's hideaway island of Murder Cay.

Most people would turn a blind eye. But Nick Breakspear isn't most people.
