Lawrence Osborne comes for the cheap dentistry. Broke (but no longer in pain), he finds that he can live in Bangkok on a few dollars a day. And so the restless exile stays. Osborne’s is a visceral experience of Bangkok, whether he’s wandering the canals that fill the old city; dining at the No Hands Restaurant, where his waitress feeds him like a baby; or launching his own notably unsuccessful career as a gigolo. A guide without inhibitions, Osborne takes us to a feverish place where a strange blend of ancient Buddhist practice and new sexual mores has created a version of modernity only superficially indebted to the West. Bangkok Days is a love letter to the city that revived Osborne’s faith in adventure and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lawrence Osborne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53093727895776,"sku":"9780865477322","price":81.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/51vYkZAaC0L._SY522.jpg?v=1781643751","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/bangkok-days","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
