Описание книги

The unique enterprise A Sense Of Place Publishing has just released its newest publication, Bangkok Busted: You Die For Sure. This is a deeply personal story by author William John Stapleton on the fallout after he wrote a book about being robbed, lied to and deceived by one of the city&#39;s go-go boys and the subsequent personal distress and widespread public ridicule he endured.<br><br>Few foreigners are crazy brave or stupidly insane enough to tell their often embarrassing and humiliating stories of falling for the practiced love lies peddled to them by Thai sex workers.<br><br>Such stories have resulted on the heterosexual side of the ledger in books such as My Private Dancer and Confessions of a Bangkok Private Eye. In the author&#39;s case he wrote The Twilight Soi, a book which made him a reviled figure by the Thai public who swallowed the lie that the book was an insult to Thailand, to its culture and to its sex workers. It is not and was never intended to be any such thing.<br><br>&quot;Most people in Asia cannot imagine why anybody would write a story admitting to their own stupidity and misguided conduct in falling for the &#39;I love you very much I miss you very much&#39; patter of their prostitutes, either male or female,&quot; Stapleton says. &quot;For a start, I first wrote the Twilight Soi and now Bangkok Busted: You Die For Sure because painters paint, builders build and writers write, and that&#39;s what do.<br><br>&quot;The story I related is so bizarre that I would not have believed it if it had not happened to me. The Thais were outraged that a foreigner as imperfect as myself should object to being robbed, cheated and publicly ridiculed. But I wanted to tell this story partly because I did not want what happened to me to happen to anyone else.<br><br>&quot;These men often make easy prey. They are lonely, they are out of their own comfort zones and away from the spying eyes of friends, family and work colleagues, often are without obligations of work or children for the first time in their lives, and run off the rails in the torrid atmosphere of Asia and its bars. They often enough end up suiciding.&quot;

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Отрывок из книги

Where are we? he asked one of the hostesses on the Thai Airways flight after he woke from a brief alcohol induced sleep.

His reputation for instability, so ably fanned by those he had offended, already preceded him. Michael was surprised the airline's crew had let him drink at all, much less knock himself out.

.....

All the surveillance proved was that he was not the most orthodox of tourists, as if Thailand was full of saintly visitors who came there to look at the country’s many beautiful temples. The country was full of foreign men there for one purpose only, to party to excess. Some of these men were truly disgusting creatures, and he shared the locals distaste for them.

For decades Thailand had been known for its relaxed attitudes to prostitution and recreational drug use. Forty years before, amongst the cognoscenti, the country had been renowned for having the world’s best heroin.
