Format : e-book
My first encounter with Thailand was so unbelievable that I desperately needed to return. I had only been sent for twelve days in order to complete a research project on Buddhist Art. Once the taste of Asia entered my mouth, I couldn't let it go. Following graduation from a small liberal art university in New York, I spent one final summer in New England before heading off on a one-way ticket to Bangkok, in search of answers to questions that I did not yet understand.
I have since learned to speak Thai, which enables all doors to open. Living in and traveling across northern Thailand, and through The Golden Triangle, has quenched many of my thirsts for adventure, sex, drugs, danger and excitement. I have subsequently made trips into rural northern Laos along the Mae Kong River, up to the Chinese border. I have spent time in Cambodia, and come to some of my own conclusions about the horrific Khmer past. I have also lived on a remote island, far off the southern Thai coast in the Andaman Sea.
Residing in South East Asia over the last seven years has opened my mind to better understand mysteries of the Far East, both the enticing and disturbing. I lived in the fast lane, and regularly pushed myself to the limits. Black Arts in South East Asia is a Non-Fiction story that captures the 21st century and my experiences in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Laos, Udon Thani, Cambodia, as well as on the beaches. Dare I say this story is not for my own grandmother, however it sheds a truthful torch of light into the dark worlds of prostitution, pimps, transvestites, killers, thieves, human trafficking and counter culture.
Black Arts in South East Asia chronicles a true-to-life adventure that can be retraced entirely, as I have not doctored the names, places, or people I have encountered along the way. For these reasons, I am confident that my non-fiction story is as up to date, authentic, and original as anything else in its genera. I believe this book has the potential to spark a new generation of travelers looking to better understand themselves and the world they pass through. |

Here's a Great from a woman at Chicago Review Press, at least she read it!
I have reviewed your submission. I found it distasteful and offending, if not entirely disgusting and abhorrent.
Sincerely,

Black Arts in Southeast Asia
An erratic Asian romp by a spaced-out American escapist who seems to attract violence like an overripe mango attracts red ants. He revels in sordid encounters with low-life characters who attempt to pervert, rob or murder him. He inhales weed whenever possible to enhance his adventures with numerous sex slaves charging the equivalent price of a Starbucks coffee
without a cinnamon topping. He finally extricates himself from the mire of disease, insanity and death, sees the light, and hightails it home to USA.

Black Arts in South East Asia
If you would like to read about " the dark worlds of prostitution, pimps, transvestites, killers, thieves, human trafficking and counter culture", then this is absolutely the book for you. There is nothing like it! Definitely not for the squeamish, it is the personal story of a young American male, one year out of college, who states that "Living in and traveling across northern Thailand, and through The Golden Triangle, has quenched many of my thirsts for adventure, sex, drugs, danger and excitement." It is definitely a page-turner and I look forward to the sequel!

Couldn't put the book down.
Few books grab my attention as this one did. From start to finish I found myself glued to the pages, unable to put the book down, and in full grip of the story. Which happens to be true. Everyone who goes to South East Asia has a story to tell, but this story is quite different. Highly recommended.
