Book Reviews of Thai for Gay Tourists

Book Review: Essential if you're gay and visiting Thailand
Summary: 5 Stars

Even if you have had no prior knowledge of Thai, this book clearly presents the sound system and shows the Thai script. It provides ALL vocabulary relevant to gay life, and gives quite a bit of background from gay Thais about life in their country. My only caveat would be that it generally presents homosexuality as accepted and even celebrated there. This is a common presentation of gay life in many countries. However, one should always be aware that we are not the majority and there is bigotry everywhere. But with that in mind, I must say this is truly an impressive little book--it does a lot in a short space, the author is to be commended!
