A Geek in Thailand is a lighthearted look at Thailand from a young foreign visitor and resident’s perspective. This alternative guide to Thailand offers a smart and concise take on Thai culture, entertainment, and daily life, covering all the classics - but also revealing the path less travelled.

In short articles accompanied by sidebars and colourful photographs, it paints a revealing picture of Asia’s most popular travel destination. A Geek in Thailand is for the holidaymakers who visit for two weeks every year and have a desire to learn about the culture, but are struggling to know where to begin. Sections on the food, drink, social scene, music, film, and everyday Thai life, are sure to appeal to them. It is also for those who wish to move to Thailand on a more permanent basis, as it contains helpful information regarding purchasing property, setting up a company, and applying for visas and work permits.

Chapters on the Thai character and cultural dos and don'ts as well as faux pas will allow the reader to go beyond the Thai smile. Sections on politics, history, economy, and the unique relationship between the Thai Nation, Religion, and Monarchy, will also be of interest to those who wish to delve into a deeper understanding of Thailand.
