But, I Dont Give a Hoot by Jennifer Bliss
 Thailand's Night Life Expert An intimate look at the Bangkok Post's and Thailand's leading writer on night life From tabloid leaves splattered with photographs of go-go dancers in the Bangkok World to largely tamed pages in the Bangkok Post, Bernard Trink and the Nite Owl column have endured.Over the years Trink's attitude towards prostitution might have sparked controversy but his columns were also a window into the world of Bangkok's nitery entertainment areas and more. Controversial as he and his writings might be, today Trink has a cult following that is growing beyond boundaries as people around the world log on to the Post web site.The fact that Trink was such a phenomenon inspired Jennifer Bliss to put together stories of Trink's life and a selection of his writings which are " funny, informative, at times pedantic, but always penned in the inimitable Trink style that readers have grown to love, or hate. But, I Don't Give A Hoot ! is based on the Nite Owl column and interviews. It covers Trink's childhood, his love for movies and books, his life as a globetrotter and journalist, his girlfriends as well as his opinions, attitudes and the writings that earned him both bouquets and brickbats. |

Endangered Relations by Chris Lyttleton
Endangered Relations: Negotiating Sex and Aids in Thailand is about sexuality, disease and culture. It tells the story of HIV/AIDS in Thailand and the social and cultural forces shaping its impact. AIDS has become an increasingly prominent symbol of modernity in Thailand, yet ways of dealing with it draw on time-honoured understandings of fate and misfortune, disease and contagion, gender and pollution. Endangered Relations describes how over the past ten years public health manoeuvres to control the threat of HIV infection have meshed with local understandings of identity and sexuality. It is a study of the way in which Thai social relations, in particular Thai sexualities, shape the history of AIDS in Thailand and it offers a unique perspective on the complicated ways that sexuality and disease are negotiated in cultural, political and human terms. |

Lady Boys, Tom Boys, Rent Boys editors Peter A. Jackson and Gerard Sullivan
Male and Female Homosexualities in Contemporary Thailand This book explores Thailand's diverse sexual population, from Kathoeys or Lady Boys (transsexual or transvestite males) and Tom Boys (masculine lesbians) to male sex workers who service male clients. The nine articles in the collection discuss sexual and gender diversity in a series of case studies of contemporary forms of male and female homosexuality and transgenderism in Thailand. By examining issues of sexual identity and behavior in Thai society, the selections reveal the social and emotional difficulties experienced by these individuals who live in a country often mistaken for a gay paradise. "Brings to life issues and problems of interpreting sexual and gender identities in contemporary Thailand ... Provides challenges to the applicability of models derived from Western gay, lesbian, and queer theories ... An important corrective to the many misapprehensions that have arisen, both within and outside Thailand, about non-normative sexual behaviors." Nerida M. Cook, Ph.D., Lecturer in Sociology, University of Tasmania, Australia. |

Private Dancer by Stephen Leather
Love, Lies and Death in the Land of Smiles "I don't know if it was love at first sight, but it was pretty close. She had the longest hair I'd ever seen, jet black and almost down to her waist. She had soft brown eyes that made my heart melt, long legs that just wouldn't quit and a figure to die for. She was naked except for a pair of black leather ankle boots with small chrome chains on the side. I think it was the boots that did it for me." Private Dancer, the on-line cult novel chronicling the disastrous relationship between a travel writer and a Bangkok bargirl, is finally available in print. The on-line version of the novel, written by best-selling thriller writer Stephen Leather, has been downloaded more than sixty thousand times over the past five years. Now Leather has decided to publish the book in Thailand. |

The Story of Jan Darra by Utsana Phleungtham
Now Thailand's most talked about movie! The erotic Jan Darra Sex, guilt and retribution. Apparently inspired by the goings-on at a neighboring palace during the author's childhood, the 1965 Story of Jan Darra is set in the expansive residence of a retired nobleman whose carnal excesses set the tone for the whole community. The story focuses on the sexual rivalry between His Lordship and his despised son, Jan Darra. Pramoon Un-hathoop (1920-1988), alias "Utsana Phleungtham" was a noted journalist, short-story writer, and translator. The Story of Jan Darra - written when he was 44, a married man and father of three - is his only finished novel. A heavy drinker, Pramoon was plagued by stomach ulcers from his mid-thirties and spent the last twenty years of his life in and out of hospital. The first of eight children of a low-level civil servant in Bangkok, he was a voracious reader from an early age and started to learn English almost as soon as he could read and write Thai. Although he never completed his secondary education, he is considered a master stylist, unsurpassed in his "fire in ice" approach to the language. |
