A Place To Be Killed Tourism Alert Thailand eBook D Farang
Download As PDF : A Place To Be Killed Tourism Alert Thailand eBook D Farang 
A tourist dies tragically and unnecessarily in Thailand of unnatural causes almost every day and for Australians in particular, "The Land of Smiles" (which becomes an oxymoron for the victim's families) is the deadliest destination of them all.
But why should you care? Because it may be someone you know that suffers a tragedy there next, or God forbid someone close to you or yourself. I know a mother in Australia who had to go with her husband and two children to Thailand in order to pick up her 24 year old daughter in a body bag. Needless to say the family will never return to the country.
With the world her oyster, the quickly rising young business executive died on a motorcycle in Phuket, hit by a Thai man going the wrong way on the road. But that's fairly normal in Thailand - for motorcycles, cars and trucks to drive in the opposite direction from everyone else. That potentially life-saving knowledge wasn't known to her and her fiancee - who survived the violent collision, still traumatized to this day to be certain. It's but one Thailand tourist tragedy in a veritable plethora of them world-wide.
British subjects also die with alarming frequency in the country, in almost every way imaginable. After marrying a Thai and living in Thailand for ten years I decided to write about WHY so many tourists die tragically in Thailand of unnatural, avoidable causes. It's necessary to get the word out on the nature of the myriad of key tourist fatality factors, so people can learn the truth about what's really happening (in the otherwise wonderful country).
THE BOTTOM LINE ? Proactive-minded tourists can avoid all the inherently lurking dangers in the beautiful country by educating themselves, others and concomitantly adjusting many at-risk behaviors as needed. After all, no one should get killed on their hard-earned holiday in Thailand, but far too many still do.
With up to 25 million foreigners (farang) visiting the country annually, most visitors come home happy and unscathed. But apathy and ignorance is a perfect storm for potential disaster in the Kingdom - because for those readers (or their children, relatives, friends) that may be deciding to travel to Thailand for the first time or even the twentieth - 'Forewarned is Forearmed' in 'The Land of Smiles!'

A Place To Be Killed Tourism Alert Thailand eBook D Farang Reviews
I felt very much out on a limb when I wrote Thailand Deadly Destination. I am very pleased to see this work published. As the author says, if his efforts save one life the book was worth it. He is correct that tourists die in Thailand every day of the year. However there has been very little serious work done on the worst scandal in the annals of modern tourism, the high death rate and large number of mishaps befalling foreigners while on Thai soil. D. Farang may not be a professional writer, but he does a much better job than most journalists who visit Thailand; they are on junkets funded by the tourist industry itself and write nothing but syrupy copy about how fabulous their hotel was; entirely ignoring the mayhem on the streets. By failing to warn visitors about the realities of Thailand they are part of an industry which is luring naive tourists to their deaths. Fore-warned may be fore-armed, as the author writes, but you don't have to be behaving badly or stupidly to get into trouble in Thailand. Many ordinary tourists, be they young backpackers looking for a place to party and relax, families, or older tourists with a twinkle in their eye, find themselves being threatened, blackmailed, bashed, drugged, robbed and killed.
Thailand is an ever fascinating country with an intriguing culture and many stunning landscapes. But the environmental degredation, social dislocation and increasing alienation between Thais and foreigners caused by the greed and mismanagement of the nation's tourist industry has been sad to witness. That Thailand can be a very dangerous place is not in doubt; and while the author uses a pseudonym, as he spends a good deal of time in Thailand I would strongly advise him to remove his image from the internet. He is correct Thai authorities deliberately suppress bad news about deaths and misadventures befalling foreigners; but many other countries are complicit in the scandal. For instance, outrageously the US State Department, which collects vast amounts of data about every country on Earth, officially refuses to release statistics on the number of Americans dying in Thailand each year. The author is entirely correct when he writes "Violent attacks, substandard road infrastructure, killings resulting from cultural misunderstandings, foreigner suicides, suppression of fatality figures and lax safety standards have all ratcheted up safety concerns in Thailand. An indirect, albeit dire warning has been issued to tourists! The warning doesn't come from Thai Tourism, but from reported and unreported fatalities, from the cry of hapless victims that didn't see it coming, and from the many foreign governments and embassies urging the Thai government to act."
Thailand Deadly Destination
It is really informative. However, the book is too long. I try to finish every book that I start reading and this book seems to take forever.
I could have finished reading two novels with the same time frame.
This book tells the readers all we need to know about the dangers in Thailand. (Death by Traffic, Electricity, Law Enforcement (or the lack of), Scams, Prisons, and more) The author has a new book came out in 2016 with the title "Of Unnatural Causes Too Many Tourists Die in Thailand". Both book seem to have similar content. I wonder what is the difference.
Through another book about Thailand, Allan Dudson wrote in "Walking the wild side The life of a sex tourist". That book briefly mentioned two murder cases on foreigners happened in front of the author, Allan Dudson, during his visit to Thailand. And he was only a tourist. Both murder cases were triggered by arguments among local Thai and foreigners. People sometimes don't realize it is a big issue when foreign tourists are killed (accidentally or not) in Thailand.
Bottom line is this book is really helpful to tourists who want to visit Thailand.
95% fluff. The 2 or 3 summary pages at the end are all you need.
