Dear Hillary,
I know you have promoted a couple of books for the newbies to read. I think foreigners should also read “Only 13” to get a clear understanding of what these girls’ mindsets may be. I am not saying there are not great girls out there, but this girl is scary and perhaps western men should be warned.
Peter
Dear Peter,
Yes I know the book and I have read it. As you say, she is quite ‘scary’, but what you have to remember is not all Thai girls are like her, with psychotic tendencies. Another book I recommend is Stephen Leather’s Private Dancer where the girl is perfectly sane, but out to get whatever she can. This is shown in the chapters devoted to the girl, and the responses from the man. However, do I get the feeling that you’ve had a bad experience recently? There are many more girls out there and not all of them are gold diggers. Where have you been looking, Petal?
