Summary: Dr. Iain Corness fell in love with Thailand while on holiday there in 1975, and finally managed to move here permanently in 1997, as a settled farang, or foreigner, he enjoys a unique perspective on Thai life and all its eccentricities, looking in from the outside while also getting to see the things most foreigners don't.

Like all good doctors and authors, Corness provides comfort for the aches and pains of ex-pat life, his stories and anecdotes are full of the joys of life, and celebrate this exotic and exciting land in all its glory, with painfully funny observations, from a date with a fortune teller to tales of a reincarnated squid, Corness revels in the chaos and charm of 'the only country where you can be run over by a shop.' This is a book to be enjoyed by tourists and Thai people alike.

Ian Corness currently is a writer for one of the Pattaya newspapers.
