This book was recommended to me by a friend who has been travelling to Thailand for the last few years. Some of the stories are set in Bangkok, some in Pattaya, and one (I think) in Phuket. I guess these stories don't really give the reader an insight into real Thai culture, but they certainly paint a pretty vivid image of the main tourist areas around the country. The stories are fun and at times humorous. I look forward to going to Thailand soon and seeing how accurate the stories really are. ...more

Chapter 7 "Pattaya Youtuber" is Thomas Andrew Howe who has a Youtube Channel called "Barfines and Powerlines" He really is the lowest of the low when considering those who Livestream in Pattaya. He has broken numerous laws in Thailand and amongst other things he has; stalked young girls in Pattaya; trafficked women for prostitution; broken the Covid Lock down rules for Thais and foreigners; he has earned 4 million baht since 2019 without paying taxes and he has disrepected the people of Thailand ...more

Fantastic account of all the weird stuff that can happen to foreigners in Thailand. Drugs, dodgy women, sex shows and creepy youtubers in Pattaya and Bangkok.
I would love to know which pattaya youtuber the story 'Pattaya Youtuber' is actually based on. He sounds like a real low life

These stories are amazing. The story 'Pattaya Youtuber' is a fascinating read, but I really loved the one about the ping pong show. That was both hilarious and shocking. I couldn't believe what I was reading! ...more

An amazing insight into some of the sleazeballs that live in Pattaya. That Thomas Andrew Howe (Barfines and Powerlines) is an extraordinary character. He gives alcohol to underage girls on the beach, insults locals, pimps out women to dance online for cash and he doesn't pay any tax on his earnings. What a lifestyle! ...more

Seven very interesting stories about Thailand. Two of the stories in particular have very good twists at the end, and two of the stories give a great insight into the weird culture of creepy Youtubers filming on the streets and in the bars in Thailand.
