Since arriving here I have been reading books about Thailand and Bangkok inparticular to find out more about the country and its customs.  Guide books such as those by Lonely Planet have been good but there are also quite a lot of fiction books set in Thailand and Bangkok.  One of the more popular authors writing fiction set in Bangkok is John Burdett and English born ex-laywer who started writing novels a few years ago.

There are three books in his series:  Bangkok Eight, Bangkok Tatto and Bangkok Haunts.

There are all easy to read and give a good insight into Bangkok and the various people who live here from corrupt cops, ladyboys, English teachers, monks and army generals.

These books are well worth a read and are great beach fodder.
