Ebook About
A PASSIONATE, AFFECTIONATE RECORD OF ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURES IN THE WORLD'S HOTTEST METROPOLIS Tourists come to Bangkok for many reasons—a sex change operation, a night with two prostitutes dressed as nuns, a stay in a luxury hotel. Lawrence Osborne comes for the cheap dentistry. Broke (but no longer in pain), he finds that he can live in Bangkok on a few dollars a day. And so the restless exile stays. Osborne's is a visceral experience of Bangkok, whether he's wandering the canals that fill the old city; dining at the No Hands Restaurant, where his waitress feeds him like a baby; or launching his own notably unsuccessful career as a gigolo. A guide without inhibitions, Osborne takes us to a feverish place where a strange blend of ancient Buddhist practice and new sexual mores has created a version of modernity only superficially indebted to the West. Bangkok Days is a love letter to the city that revived Osborne's faith in adventure and the world.

Book Bangkok Days: A Sojourn in the Capital of Pleasure Review :



Bangkok Days"I liked the hesitant motion of lonely men walking through their own vacuums to get to a massage parlor, the way the green neons of the massage parlors themselves suddenly came on, as if remembering something. I admired this impersonality, because it was my sort of impersonality, and I was tired of churches in Europe, and brown-stones and parks and stone beauty in general."The theme is a rumination on lonely European men (specifically British and Australian) in a place they don’t belong. It’s a very dense book, especially if you’re an older European man or may become one. I’ve read it several times and still find new reflection and meaning. The novel combines the exotic surroundings – the food, Hinduism, Buddhism, Thai customs and history, Thai women, Asia vs. the West, the changes in Bangkok over his time there – with a more universal exploration of European men, their quirks and desires, women in general, the fluidity of sexual identity, being poor and how that affects one’s relationship with other men and women and an overall elegiac tone of regret. The protagonist, a not overly cynical man, searches for meaning and what is the good, possibly finding it in hedonism but contradicted by a trip to some missionaries in a Bangkok slum. Osborne finds contradictions, release and tension.There’s quite a bit of brutal, droll humor involved in his adventures as well. In fact, I think Osborne specializes in brutal, droll humor. The book ends with a failed trip to a new age spa in Hua Hin (apparently during a hurricane) accompanying a professional travel writer, his calculating Thai wife and a possibly gay friend where all are puritanically lashed, only to escape to the dubious pleasures of eating, drinking and more or less unsatisfactory fornication.
This is not a tour guide nor is it a story of what to see in Bangkok if you go. But if you do go you will want to read it and maybe even have it with you. It is a deep dive into the world of the expat in Bangkok and how the city is seen from that perspective. But, the author does love the city and he shows his understanding through the comments he makes about the average Thai people encountered in his sojourn there. A very striking book.
