Farang The Sequel: Another look at Thailand through the eyes of an ex-pat

Rate this book
Farang; the Sequel is the long-awaited follow-up to Farang, which became an instant bestseller upon its release in Thailand. Iain Corness fell in love with Thailand in his youth and moved there permanently in 1997. As a settled farang, or foreigner, he enjoys a unique perspective on Thai life and all its eccentricities; looking in from the outside while also getting to see things most foreigners don't.

Puh. Ich erinnere mich, den Anfang mit einiger Freude und einigem Interesse gelesen zu haben, als mir das Buch auf einer Asienreise in die Hände fiel. Einiges an interessanten Anekdoten zum Leben in Thailand. Und tonnenweise fade, sich wiederholende, stereotypüberladene Ansichten dieses Briten, der sich da niedergelassen hat. Ich mag ihn einfach nicht. Ich mag seinen Stil nicht, ich mag die Wiederholungen nicht, ich mag die abfälligen Bemerkungen über seine Frau und die Thais nicht, ich mag seinen zum Teil fast völlig unverborgenen Rassismus nicht. Ich fand das gegen Ende sehr schwer zu ertragen und habs nur noch zügig zu Ende gearbeitet, weil ich noch schöne Thailand-Dinge finden wollte, da war aber nicht viel. Puh. Puh, schade.

Lightly amusing for travelers to thailand. Probably a lot funnier for ex-pats living there.
