When travellers Ben and Emma split up in Thailand, Ben falls for a local masseuse and experiences the darker side of tourism, where farmers' daughters sell their bodies in Bangkok bars. Thai Girl is a thought-provoking adventure novel that explores the problems of prostitution and cross-cultural relationships, and reaches its climax in the sultry heat of Thailand's exotic traveller beaches.

The definitive novel about relationships between Thais and foreigners. (Harry Nicolaides, Author of Verisimilitude)
