2000s: See more of Thailand through the eyes of an ex-pat
Farang; the Sequel is the long-awaited follow-up to Farang, which became an instant bestseller upon its release in Thailand. Iain Corness fell in love with Thailand in his youth and moved there permanently in 1997. As a settled farang, or foreigner, he enjoys a unique perspective on Thai life and all its eccentricities; looking in from the outside while also getting to see things most foreigners don’t.
Thailand is apparently – `the only country where you can be run over by a shop.’ This is not the only strange thing which happens when you’re a farang. And Iain takes you on a journey through many blooper moments of what not to do or say, but also what to look out for and appreciate. The stories aren’t in any order so can be picked out and tasted like a Thai buffet.
Fish, toilets and the vagaries of driving on Thai roads -This trip to Thailand takes you and the author through the highs and lows of Thai life as an expat.
The author should know – he went to Thailand for the first time in 1975 and fell in love with the country.
He lives in Pattaya and is consultant to the largest hospital in the region and keeps a small office in town from which he writes for the Pattaya Mail as well as several magazines.
