Thai Girls, Sex and the Supernatural

Thai Girls, Sex and the Supernatural is a collection of essays about love and sex, mainly in Thailand and the Philippines written over the past 20 years and initially contributed to various Thailand forums. They offer a frank, and sometimes humorous, description of what single males get up to in the fleshpots of SE Asia, but the author has spared the reader any blow by blow descriptions of sexual encounters.
There is history here, too: A Forgotten Sex Capital turns out to be Pompeii, Boswell on the Grand Tour and Byron in Italy. There is also literature, reviews of books and a few of the author's own poems, most notably, extracts from his Thailand "masterpiece", Bangkok Don Juan, side by side with the diary entries on which they were based. This new edition brings the collection up to date with articles from 2023.
