Tone Deaf in Bangkok ( And Other Places)

Tone Deaf in Bangkok ( And Other Places)

Like a Thai kickboxer, Tone Deaf in Bangkok is small but packs a hidden punch. On the surface, itâ€™s the story of a middle-aged American woman who runs away from home to live in Thailandâ€™s capital city. In short, light-hearted essays, Janet humorously describes the hazards and pitfalls and pleasures of living the Thai life, yet her stories pose questions that lurk beneath the froth of anecdotal travel literature. Whether sheâ€™s being kicked out of a neighborhood for behaving badly, embarking on a bitter-sweet romance with a man she knows she can never have, or discovering that there is Thai food to suit every one of her moods, she takes her readers with her and makes them feel the heat, the discomfort and the delight of finding and settling into a new home in the world.
