Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki

Following hot the heels of his best seller, Money Number One, Neil Hutchison continues his in-depth investigation into the tourist playground of Pattaya. This collection of short stories, originally published individually under the pseudonym 'A Fool in Paradise', form a collage of insights into the machinations of this fantastic city on the eastern seaboard of Thailand.

Anyone who has read Money Number One will enjoy this follow-up book as it reinforces the conclusions drawn and advice presented in the former through the personal experiences of the author. The tales are fast-paced, humourous, well written and ALL TRUE. Well, almost.

Sir Winston Churchill quipped that "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." If that is true, then Neil is a success story because his love and enthusiasm for Pattaya and its people has not diminished over the years. The highs, lows, ups, downs, laughter and tears portray a convincing analysis of the human condition. As Neil says, "Pattaya is to a writer what a room full of fruit bowls is to an artist."

The last story, 'Footprints in the Sand', is a particularly poignant tale of just how the city can affect its visitors and guests, even those who should know better. Written with his heart firmly on his sleeve, it proves that no matter how smart we think we are or how old we get, we just never learn. This tale is a 'must read' for any foreign male contemplating a long-term liaison with a Thai lady.

Kuhusu mwandishi

Born of poor but humble parents in the former British colony of Australia, Neil was educated at an all-boys Grammar School, which kind of explains his adult infatuation with women. His early career was unremarkable, and it just went downhill from there. It wasn’t until he hit rock bottom, standing alone in the pouring rain on a congested Manila street trying to attract the attention of a suicidal jeepney driver, that fortune smiled and led him to Thailand where he found the most interesting people, the best food and the most beautiful women he had ever seen. What followed was a long, slow and sometimes costly learning experience which, even after a decade, is still a work in progress.
