Riff-Raffles Hotel Owner Has A Must-Read Book

Kevin Meacher, owner of "Riff-Raffles Hotel" has written a book about his experiences in opening a hotel in Pattaya. (See info on the book here. See book review in The Nation here. See the hotel blog here.)

I haven't read the book yet, but I intend to: It sounds like a wonderful guidebook to understanding the Thai work ethic... and dealing with it, as well as amusing (awful) anecdotes of tourist behavior, the joys of life in Pattaya, and even the occasional bit of relationship advice.

Head to the local bookstore and buy yourself a copy.

Thanks for the shout out! Would you mind fixing the link so it comes up directly and not to the RSS feed?

Which link is that you're referring to? (I'm on vacation... so response time may not be too quick.)
