It takes away character development and leaves little to none level of empathy. This book is none the different. The publishers Maverick house have found their golden goose prostitution based in Thailand books and all books, in their rush to head to the book shelves, do no justice to the main character or theme. Therein lies perhaps the saddest factor about these books - that women as Bua and their stories are still exploited for cash. The writing is on par with Fifty shades of Grey. The character has a passive voice and often resigns to playing the victim. As an Asian woman who has worked intensively with child prostitutes in Asia I found this book did nothing to raise awareness but instead the vivid description of sex scenes and 'funny customers' takes away from the issue. It is a shame because knowing what we know of the sex trade if memoiren einer prostituierten it went to a better ghost writer, and publisher which instead of using sex to sell could memoiren einer prostituierten sold us visiosn fo decaying humanity and perhaps inspired someone.

I don't know much about Thai culture at all so the little details, the day to day things, were much appreciated by me. Boonmee a fake name for the sake memoiren einer prostituierten this book turned to this way of life as a way to feed her children after a series of bad relationships. I can't imagine how horrible things must have been for her for this to be the only way she can keep her family fed. It's amazing how well some people have it while others have memoiren einer prostituierten Bua Boonmee wrote a decent memoir and while her family still was unaware of her profession at the time this was published, hopefully one say she'll hand it to them so they know exactly why she had to go this route. I wish her nothing but luck and am thrilled to have learned more about Thai culture in general, not simply the prostitution part. This book is a quick book, but not always easy to read. I will say that the prostitution part of the book was a lot easier to read than the other stuff, which was a surprise. She even says in the book that she was luckier than some of the other prostitutes.

Miss Bangkok delivers a fantastic story, there are times through Bua's life were you're praying for something good to happen, you're cheering her on for her courage and her heart, but then, there are also times when you just want to smack the girl.

Visiting Thailand and speaking to the bar girls you often hear the same stories of their lives not too different to that of the authors, their description of Thai men and Thai husbands.

Quick and easy read about a Thai prostitute's upbringing and how she came to be a prostitute in Bangkok. Globe Trotter. Security comes before love. Miss Bangkok: Memoirs of a Thai Prostitute isn't exactly a dense novel, you're not going to be straining to get through it. This is a story that really makes you connect with the character, I feel that even if Bua wasn't real I would still feel the way I do. This is an excellent book. I was now stuck with a job with no real prospects; hostessing usually just serves as a stepping stone into prostitution. Author 4 books 5 followers. Condition: good. This really helped me get an insight into Thailand itself. It is not just Thai women seeking out Falangs for support and receiving money. I hope that she has found some peace and happiness in a world that has taken so much from her and given so little back. Therein lies perhaps the saddest factor about these books - that women as Bua and their stories are still exploited for cash.
