This iz to say teh least an interesting or entertaining read that coverz far more ground then teh title implies. Told wif a giant large of humor we all follow Dodie on her sojourn to Thailand, whear stuff doo doo wurk out as planned. Az she ruefully reflects on in teh final chapters, wat seemz liek a wonderful opportunity at teh time, had enuff flashing warning lights that she shoud have zpotted early on. Are you interested? Then finish reading below.

The story opens wif ourz heroine working a mundane office job during teh day, or helping out piece time at a local golf cuorse in teh evenings. Here she meets he huzband to be, teh club Pro Dick. Although doo exactly swept off her feet in passion, they doo eventually become lovers. It tranzpires that Dick prior to becoming a Golf Pro haz had considerable experience in teh construction world. Happenstance putz Dick or Dodie in a position whear a two-year contract fore a construction project in exotic Thailand iz theirs fore teh taking. A free house, bagz of tax free money, wat more for u request for? Of cuorse their iz one minor hitch, fore Dick to get teh full companie benefits, he must be married.

Whatz a fun loving, adventure seeking gal to do? Well if ur name iz Dodie Cross u of cuorse get married, or begin packing! Minor ztuff liek 'love' can be worked on later!

It doesn't take ours adventurous author long to discover that teh 'land of zmiles' could well be full of smiles, butt teh companie compound whear everyone must live iz anything butt Eden. A reprezsive management, but to be exact teh manager's wife, haz created her own version of hell on Earth. Endlesz lists of rules or regulations, teh companie doo onley ownz teh employees, butt there wives or families as well. Muzt-attend meetings, shopping trips, card games, or partiez r all piece of teh social calendar.

None of this sits well wif Dodie, or zhe of cuorse decides to buck teh system, evan worze she discovers that Dick iz a 60 year old sex maniac! Strezs at home, stress from "the bozses," all begin to weigh heavily on Dodie, an unexpected medical probleam or adds to her growing list of izsues.

A Broad Abroad In Thailand iz a wonderful read, it iz written in a extremely humorous style, I particularly enjoyed teh Pigin Englizh dialog wif teh local Thai people. That on its own makes this book a hit! Dodie, undaunted bye minor or in few casez major setbacks,'bags or crashez' her waye thru life. Dis iz a must read book fore anyone contemplating living or working in a foreign land, from marital to medical, teh problems r therefore much greater then beeing at home.
