Author : Jaggs, Peter
ISBN : 978974-16-41710
Category : True Stories & Memoirs
Pages : 204
Format : e-book, printed book
Joe Bucket is a hard-bitten English ex-pat who first came to Pattaya when it was little more than a fishing village. He is an ordinary guy who likes beer, football and fishing -- and loves Thai women even more.
But with the great changes the city has undergone, perhaps it was inevitable that, after twenty-five years, even the fantastic had become familiar.
That was until Joe met old Ron, a retired merchant seaman in a wheelchair who was not long for this world. The shrewd old seafarer persuaded Joe to carry out a last task for him, and the next thing the Pattaya old-hand knew, he was bound for Sihanoukville in Cambodia to search for a Khmer bar-girl the fading seafarer desperately needed to find.
Accompany Joe Bucket from Pattaya to Cambodia and on his adventures among the streets, bars, brothels and beaches of Sihanoukville and let him introduce you to the gangsters, hookers and other misfits he meets along the way.
Visa Run is written with humour and feeling and insight into the steamy worlds of Pattaya and Sihanoukville. The book is also filled with information of the sort that you certainly will not find in conventional travel guides. |

Review on AMAZON UK website
I have read all of Peter Jaggs books and this one is my favorite. Much more of a novel than the rest of his books which mainly consist of short stories, the book is based on truth and tells the story of a visa run to Cambodia. Although it is set around the bars and back roads of Thailand and Cambodia and contains pretty strong material at times the book also possess a softer side and some of the character sketches of Cambodian characters (monk, old woman, child beggar, motorcycle taxi driver etc.) are marvelous and could only have been written with considerable research. Recommended.
