Is this book still relevant?
[QUOTE=Blunderer;652895]Private Dancer is available for free download from Stephen Leather's site: [url]http://www.stephenleather.com/unpub.html[/url] - well worth a read!
The other thing he did that I enjoyed was 'Confessions of a Thai Private Eye' which is an apparently non-fiction work, based on a set of interviews with some farang private detective in BKK.[/QUOTE]I have just finished reading Confessions of a Thai Private Eye, and although old, I found it, on top of being entertaining, quite insightful and learned tons of stuff despite having traveled to Thailand a few times. I thought it would be discussed here and rightfully found some references to it as per the post I am "replying" to. It is a must read for anyone travelling to the land of the smiles especially for the lesser known aspects concerning police, judicial system etc. The information it contains complements well the intelligence you can gather in this forum. I wanted to ask is if anyone knows (especially senior members) if the author was referring to this forum in the Afterword where he thanks "The gang from the X forum". For me chances are he's referring to ISG (although there used to be another such forum back in the days). Any thoughts about this or the book in the general? How about the other books from the same author: The Bangkok Detective and Thai Private Eye, are they worth reading?
Stay safe.
Here are the exact covid number
[QUOTE=RunMann;2462046]Where are you getting these numbers from?[/QUOTE][URL]https://covid19.who.int/region/searo/country/th[/URL]
With 3,162 cases and 58 deaths Thailand has been spared by the pandemic. Even if these are self reported numbers, there's a minimum of cross checking and they seem reliable.
