More About the Author

Nine years ago the founder of LUXE City Guides, Grant Thatcher, was at a party in Singapore. He was told that if he were ever to go to Bangkok, then he must be sure to take the several A4 pages that he was now being handed, as they contained the best insider knowledge on the city. Everybody, it seemed, loved this saucy list.

Grant looked at the list. It seemed familiar. It looked exactly like the list he had written for friends before he left Bangkok. Shut up, and get out of here! Dong! It's true. The rest, as they say, is history.

This review is from: LUXE Hanoi (Luxe City Guides S.) (Pamphlet)

From the book blurb: "Think it's all tin-hats and Jane Fonda?"

No, no I don't. Why would it be? Next year it will be 40 years since Jane Fonda visited Vietnam and 36 years since the end of the war.

Why would anyone think Hanoi was all Jane Fonda and people in tin hats?

Just how dumb are the people you are writing for?
