		<description>Thanks Noel, glad you enjoyed the book.  Get me a distributor and you can be my agent - 10% of all sales!!!  I did try but failed miserably and being so far away makes it difficult to get anyone to listen to what I am trying to tell them.  

I also have completed Book Two which is ready to go when I find a publisher - I am able to buy myself out of the contract for the first book with my Thai publishers.  The third book is half written and will be completed with my divorce - around end of next year.

Anyway Noel, once again, thanks for the message.

Best Regards,
Kevin</description>

		<description>Only the new boys in town can get conned this way but there is always fresh meat here for the girls to feed off!  

You have to remember that not everyone is with a chum who has been to Thailand before.  The natural initial instinct of most farangs in this country is to 'protect' their new love.  They see her as a beautiful yet poor and abused waif fored into a life of sin in order to support her ageing family.  They want to help and to them money is always converted back to their home currency so B50,000 is ONLY GBP1,000 or US$1,500 or whatever.  They do not appreciate that B50,000 is close to the average ANNUAL wage!

I do not blame the girls but that does not mean I like or agree with what they do.  Some of their moves border on criminal behaviour.  The need is to warn, educate and get the message across to farangs arriving in Pattaya on how NOT to be scammed.  However, I doubt if anyone will ever listen!

Anyway Tanaka, all the best.</description>

		<description>Scary? Na, I think they are just as scary as you allow them to be! Which, I agree, is a handful if you are a newbie in Pattaya.</description>

		<description>Great read your blog ... and food for thought indeed. I'm hoping I won't end up thinking 'mai pen rai' one day, with my blog recounting a similar story. Best of luck ...</description>
