Pattaya 2020

[Phil Hall]

I wrote and published this book last year and although the title may not have been well thought out, it's a very positive fiction spin on our favorite place.

If you haven't already read Pattaya 2020, why not grab a copy now and see what you think?

Here we have that Soi 6 favourite, Preem,  posing with a copy and holding the prequel, From Isaan to Pattaya, which is out next month

Just from reading a few paragraphs of chapter 1, you really paint a bleak picture of foreigners. Do you feel that travelers to Thailand are doing something wrong or immoral?

Hardly, as I based this on my own experiences as a first time visitor to Pattaya ( 1986)

I'm married to a Thai lady for 25 years now and Pattaya remains my favourite part of Thailand.

It's written with humour and not a judgement of P4P, you'll have to read a little more, as with most books, to have an understanding of the story and the intended tone.

A fair amount of the Amazon reviews have been written by regular travellers to Pattaya and I got the impression they were happy with the fictional portrayal of how newbies see the bar scene for the first time.

Ok fair enough. Even though I read enough to know I wouldn't like the book, I wish you well and hope you have a best seller. it's just not for me.
