    About this ebook

    ENGLISH only version

    The Land of Smiles has many attractions to the overseas visitor, but none more powerful or better appreciated around the world than the alluring smiles of the young ladies working in its many bars.
    The magnetic draw of beautiful, lissome Thai bar girls sees tens of thousands of westerners arrive, phrase books in hand – and confusion reigning from the moment they try to engage in meaningful conversation with their new-found ‘best friends’.

    Communications breakdowns in such situations are the norm, rather than the exception – and they are multi-faceted, their roots and tentacles reaching far beyond simple linguistic barriers.

    Love Talk takes a humorous look at some of the communications barriers faced by westerners enjoying for the first time the delights of long nights sipping cold beers in the company of warm-hearted women eager to get to know them better. With an insightful nod to the cultural divide that separates the typical western bar-lover and his new Thai girlfriend, Love Talk fills in the blanks and settles a few scores along the way.

    Terence Doyle

    A long-time writer, Terence Doyle has an extremely varied CV, ranging from teaching, PR work and manual labour – as a greenskeeper – to travel journalism, script writing and acting. Having travelled much of the world for both business and pleasure, he has settled in Thailand as his future home and is as keen to help others understand the seductive nuances of the country as he is to master its varied culture himself. Thailand Love Talk follows on from his popular book Words of Love, which was written for a solely Western audience.
