Thailand confidential

“Writer Jerry Hopkins came to Thailand for a visit in the 1980s, and ended up a permanent resident with a temporary visa – a big, white farang haunting the bars and back alleys of Bangkok. His essays explore the mystery and mayhem of The Land of Smiles to hilarious – and sometimes disturbing – effect. Travel with him to a place where whisky is rum, water buffaloes are gay, insects are dinner, dildos are lucky charms, and your wildest adolescent fantasies can come true (for a nominal fee).”
