Life and work get in the way sometimes. Anyway, I spent part of the last couple of months trying to put together a book manuscript on Thailand that combines some of the posts on this blog (hopefully improved from the original) with some new material. A draft of the manuscript should be done in a couple of weeks — at which point I’ll try to pitch it to a few publishers — but I am posting here a preview of one of the six chapters. The essay in question puts together most of the stuff on this blog about prostitution and politics. It’s slightly adapted from the version that will hopefully be in the book, as I tried to turn it into a stand alone piece that might be suitable for publication in a magazine (whether in print or online). You can download it HERE in .pdf format. Of course, this is still work in progress, so any comment is highly appreciated (whether you wish it to be public or private, that’s up to you).  Especially welcome are suggestions for improvements in both contents and style.
