Synopsis

Go-go bars as a cultural asset, dentists, chicken’s feet, soapy massage, trousers, being struck by lightning, tattoos, luck, breast enhancements, beards and being a foreigner – these are just some of the aspects of living in Pattaya, Thailand’s most exciting city, that come within range of Kuhn Pobaan’s seeing eye in this lively and revealing book.Originally published as The View from the Hill in the leading fortnightly Pattaya Today, each chapter takes a light-hearted but incisive look at the quirky side of living in a city that is unusual even by Thai standards. Firmly in the foreground of this idyllic setting is Mrs Pobaan, the author’s long-suffering wife whose innocence provides the perfect balance for her husband’s merciless wit.For those who want to know what it’s really like living in paradise, or for those fellow residents who want to compare notes with another foreigner filled with wonderment, joy and occasional confusion, If you can’t stand the fun, stay out of the go-go is the perfect Pattaya primer.
