Paradise Lust

Rate this book
Welcome to Thailand, where hundreds of thousands of male tourists are lured every year by thoughts of luscious silk-skinned maidens whose smiles promise ecstasy. And despite the exotic sights, gorgeous beaches, and mouth-watering food, for many the magic of the east means sex. In the raucous seaside resorts like Patang and Pattaya, armies of sultry young temptresses ensare the hearts and bankrolls of besotted foreigners. Totally frank, Kit McCann charts his own uninhibited rake's progress through the moonscape of lust and its pitfalls. A vast comedy of corruption, deceit, drugs, murder, despair, suicide, and, above all, greed.

Чували ли сте за Тайланд? Чували сте, трънки, нищо не сте чували.

Тайланд е, ни повече, ни по-малко, световната столица на секса за пари. Не на "проституцията" - тая дума с негативно значение, която предполага нещо неморално, скрито и срамно. Точно обратното - в Тайланд сексът за пари е съвсем нормална дейност, практикувана от безброй усмихнати, дребни, слабички млади момичета с дръпнати очи и леко мургава кожа, които искат да издържат семействата си, да съберат пари за университет или просто да ги харчат за сандалки и джиесеми. Нищо неморално, срамно или скрито няма в цялата работа и именно това е причината десетки милиони туристи (главно мъже, няма какво да се лъжем) посещават тая страна и харчат своите 15 долара за половин час.

Авторът пък, като клише на декадентски писател, направо живее там, приятелката му също дава дупето си под наем и не му мрънка ако спи с други мацки. Баси...

I'm just about finished with this and mainly I've enjoyed it and found it really interesting. The book deals with the author's experience of living in Thailand and hanging out with bar girls. There's a sense in reading the book that although Kit loves to look and 'bounce' with the girls, he appreciates that their main motivation is not love but the money. Frankly, I think this would probably be true of sex workers in any country although perhaps the Thai girls are a bit more transparent in their motivation. Some of his experiences are laugh out loud funny. Kit has a cynical view of the whole business but yet he's a likeable enough character and Paradise Lust is a fast read. A great holiday book.
