Travel Guide

Welcome to Bangkok. Bribery, corruption, money laundering and murder. If you thought that Bangkok was going to be a nice little backwater to relax in as Jack did, then you were wrong.

Jack Shepherd is a man fascinated with the society and underbelly of Thai society – and the financial society really comes to life were with descriptions and a real insight in to the shady financial dealings that can occur.

This trail -a paper trail of financial mess – not to mention corruption, shady dealings and a lot worse, takes Jack from Manila to Bangkok to Hong Kong and the resort island of Phuket. Will this trail have ties to his life in Washington, USA  which he thought he had left behind for good?  It may even lead to places he would never have imagined in his wildest nightmares.
