    A book: Once upon a time in the East - Hot and sticky yarns from rural Siam

    Messers Slap and Smug Farang Bore collaborate to bring you this; a collection of stories, illustrations and recipes, all of which pay tribute to the bizarre nuances of rural Thailand.

    Available now, for the price of a pint of lager...

    After all, who wants to walk around with ‘the clinically stupid’ emblazoned across their chest?
    some one who would click on the above link - I see tinyurl and say noooooooo

    but

    PDF ?? 135 pages

    do we then have to join goodreads.com and fluff it up for the masses ?

    Well done Slap. I'll be getting a copy as soon as the wool cheque comes in.

    Do I need some special sort of hardware to read it?

    A Herculean task, will this be The Odyssey for the Asia palate ? Does the hardback come with a Kitten Skin binding?

    Do you have a signing tour lined up?

    Step 1: Locate a local shop

    Step 2: Frequent the fucker

    Step 3: Order a large measure of lau khao



    Step 4: drink it

    Step 5: Break out reading apparatus

    Step 6: Consume copy with abandon

    Thorough appraisals from fellow frequenters are commonplace.

    Well done fellas, purchased.

    Though I just noticed paypal took an extra dollar on top of the purchase price (I didnt pay by paypal).

    Not that I am bemoaning an extra dollar but if the cheeky gits do that to every purchaser that would add up to..
    .. $3.00

    Apologies. I will look into this.

    Don't despair - Smug's graphics are worth the extra buck.

    It is probably in the fine print somewhere.

    The graphics are brilliant, the writing is excellent. But i must admit I'd prefer a proper eBook version than a pdf, but Calibre might be able to convert it for me . However, for 59,475 IDR I can hardly complain.

    Shared on social media as well. All the best.
