Review
Written by Geoffrey Franklin
Geoffrey Franklyn
Trapped somewhere between an international fantasy world and one of brutal reality, the characters in these wide ranging Pattaya stories become involved in humourous, dangerous, sometimes violent adventures, set against a colourful backdrop of flora and fauna, festivals, arcane beliefs and ghosts, here, dreams are often perceived as future indicators and reincarnation is seldom, if ever questioned. Nothing is forever, or quite what it seems to be, the only certainty is life is never dull or grey, these stories are fictional as many see Thailand & Pattaya itself, but truth is often stranger than fiction and every good story has an slight thread of truth within it. Many of the events in these stories often involved or were witnessed by the author, Geoffrey Franklin was an English Artist/Writer who studied Art and Design at the Birmingham and Royal College of Art, London. A Pattaya resident for several years, he has painted many of the delights of South East Asia, Geoff captured Angkor Wat, Cambodia in particular and I am the proud owner of some of his origionals and many prints of the same, also have some duplicates so please email me @ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if interested. Geoff wrote this book based on the strange, often mystical experiences he has encountered in Thailand, Geoff sadly passed away in 2008.
