Thailand, the land of smiles and golden dreams, is languishing, and Pattaya, its biggest fun city, is succumbing to a thousand ills. Pattaya Pains is about living in Pattaya over the long term. Even though the collection of essays, stories, and observations herein would relish the golden dream of painting Pattaya as a romantic hotspot where Thais and foreigners bond, it can’t do so - not only because East is East and West is West, but also because Thais just don’t see foreigners in a good light.

The calm mind helps. Of course, there's a world around you, and the question is how much you can ...

Plenty of guys fly to Thailand every year, hoping to meet a good Thai lady to spend the rest of their life with. The vast majority fly home disappointed, and even among those that do manage to meet a nice lady, a high percentage see their dreams flounder. I will tell you why. I will tell you the greatest singular mistake that men make when dealing with Thai women. Then I will tell you the next biggest mistake that far too many men make.

Foreign men are a laughing stock among the Thai community, and Thai men think we are world-class idiots. They think we are gullible, and far too many farang men prove them correct. And that's due to delusions that never die. In this audiobook, I'll expose these chronic fantasies. You'll discover the alternate point of view, understand the nature of the lies, and get insight into the roots of the delusions.
