Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : Thailand Confidential Mention d'édition : 1st Editeur : Hong Kong [Hong Kong] : Periplus Editions, 2005 Langues : Anglais (eng)   Résumé : "Wanna stand in the face of a charging elephant, get hit by a motorcycle, eat giant water bugs, blowtorch your mouth on some of the hottest chili peppers on earth, then go watch a sex change operation? Of course you don't, but, happily, Jerry Hopkins has done all that and more--lots more--in this darkly humorous, deeply affectionate, clear-eyed but never patronizing portrait of Thailand, his adopted home. Highly recommended." -- Tim Cahill, author of Lost in My Own Backyard, Hold the Enlightenment and Jaguars Ripped My Flesh 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, dildoes are lucky charms, and your wildest adolescent fantasies can come true (for a nominal fee).
