Philosophy in the Gogo Bar

By Bangkok Byron

Middle-aged Jim Jones escapes from his humdrum marriage by faking a 'business trip' to Thailand. There he meets Noi, who transports him to heaven - and soon after to hell. Luckily, he has a series of dreams in which he meets some of the great philosophers, and between then they help Jim to sort his life out. This book is, in its modest way, a philosophy book in itself, and though it all happened in Jim's imagination, the philosophers have been made to speak in character and to express the philosophies they propounded.

Bangkok Byron

Bangkok Byron is famous (or should that be "infamous"?) for his numerous contributions to the Thailand forums. Bangkok Byron is, of course, a pen name (earned when he wrote his long narrative poem, Bangkok Don Juan, in the same verse form as Byron's Don Juan) to conceal his identity on account of his adventures (or should that be "misadventures"?) in the fleshpots of SE Asia.
