The information in this ebook on various aspects of Thailand and life in Thailand is organized into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
I hope that it will interest those who have visited Thailand, know someone who has, or intend to do so, as the articles contain personal experiences from the author's 14-year stay in thailand
As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.
You may also split the book up and resell the articles. In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.

I do not pay upfront for a narration and this is why:
I see my work with the narrator as a collaboration both in the production and the promotion. I have a lot of followers, but my collaborator's Followers are a very useful way of expanding the audiobook into new territory. This is especially true with narrations in foreign tongues. For example, a Spanish reader will ALWAYS have more access to Spanish spreakers/readers than I will.
So, if you are looking to make some fast money from narration, my books are not for you.
Are Asian Bars Any Different to Our Own?
The first time that someone from Europe or America goes to a bar area in an Asian city that is intended to be part of the tourist industry, they will be struck by the amount of noise. These bar areas are set aside in some cities, a little like a ‘Red Light District’ in the West, but it is not intended to be a Red Light District, it is just too noisy to be in a residential area.
There are also cities that have been built up as one big pleasure zone and then the whole city centre might be full of bars, and residents will live in the suburbs. In Thailand, Chiang Mai is in the first category and Pattaya falls into the latter category. I am told that it is similar in most other Asian countries.
Many, but certainly not all, Asian bars have ‘resident’ bar girls who have certain jobs or ‘privileges’. An expression used in some areas is working ‘inside the bar’ and working ‘outside the bar’.
Those who work ‘inside the bar’ area are there to serve drinks and food, clean glasses and tables. They are ‘traditional’ barmaids, if you like. Those who work ‘outside the bar’ area will order you a drink and help you get served, but it is not their ‘real job’. Their real job is to keep you entertained and to coax drinks out of you – more like hostesses.
These are the girls who might go with you, if they like you. Asking for ‘special favours’ from the wrong sort of worker can be taken as very insulting, but it happens all the time, so most girls do not get upset by foreigners who don’t know the ropes.
