Despite the ban on Bangkok Inside Out, these and similar titles are on sale:

Profiles of 25 expats in Bangkok,  including an advertising executive who photographs Thai bar girls for Playboy,  a pianist at one of the world's best hotels who ended up on the FBI's most wanted list and an antiques smuggler.

by Derek Sharron

A true story about a poor girl from rural Isan who   is forced into prostitution at 13.

Lady of Isan

The author moves to Thailand and falls  in love with a bar girl.  It's non-fiction - any fictional character who did so many silly things wouldn't be believable.

All the letters here are supposedly genuine, as a procession of western suckers gets strung along, sending money for sick aunts and dead  buffaloes.

Patpong: Bangkok's Twilight Zone

by Nick Nostitz

Photography capturing the seedy side.

Travels in the Skin Trade

by Jeremy Seabrook

More true stories of expats and their hijinks in the fleshpots.

Money Still Number One: The Single Man's Survival Guide to Pattaya
