When Rosemary travels to Thailand to meet her prospective daughter-in-law, she learns much more about the culture of the country than she would travelling purely as a tourist. Her travel account is embellished with colourful photos, idioms of language, humour and excitement. With her partner, her son and his new wife, they travel the winding roads through the mountains, visit astounding temples and caves, experience an earthquake, a torrential storm in a long-tailed boat, sweat in the heat, visit tropical islands, and of course, eat all sorts of wonderful foods.
On their trip to the airport, heading home, with no one available to translate, there is something weird going on and they begin to fear for their safety. If you'd like to get a taste of the real Thailand, as well as the tourist Thailand, you'll enjoy this book.
