What Richard North sets out to do is discuss the many sensual and sexual elements of Southeast Asia far far away from Pattaya, Patpong and Ko Samui. If you want the ins and outs of Pattaya there are ample books on prostitution out there on the market; if you want the ins and outs of interracial passion you will find many answers within Richard North's publications which you simply won't find elsewhere. May you find joy in East Asia.
