Even the website says that “it may not be idyllic but it certainly makes up for it with a wide variety of activities, accommodation and nightlife venues” It is still very much one of the hottest beach-resort destinations in Thailand!
Vincent Calvino is a streetwise New York-born private detective and making a small but modest living from the Bangkok underbelly. There’s plenty for him to work in – but in the light of day there are some nice places that he never sees in a nice way due to the nature of his work. The lush estate where the man is found – if you wish to find a lush estate of your own, you could take a look at Sukhawadee House – a mansion by the Pattaya Sea owned by Mr. Panya Chotitawan, the owner of Saha Farm, one of the biggest agricultural product exporters of Thailand. It is as grand and as posh as the one evoked in the novel.
