Review - They Call Me Farang
Scott Mallon definitely has a gift for crafting some of his memorable stories from pen to paper. Reading this little book felt like being transported to a Bangkok soi at an outdoor bar with a mug full of Chang (with ice cubes in it of course) in Bangkok. The book is presented in a semi-chronological short story format. Definitely keep an eye out for the chapter about the taxi driver with martial problems – my wife was asking me what I was laughing so loud about.

This book is a “must read” for any “farangs” thinking about settling there in Thailand permanently. The run-ins and sticky situations Scott has experienced firsthand clearly illustrates – this isn’t the USA, this in Thailand. I’m half Chinese/German and I can pass as Thai, I have a native Thai wife, but I will even agree with Scott that even if you speak the language – there’s just some aspects of “Thaicology” you will never understand fully. I lived abroad and worked in China for almost two years – having grown up with a Chinese mother, speaking the language, and I was still incredibly culture shocked! Thailand is no different.

You take the good and the bad when you move somewhere else, and I suggest you learn the rules of the “game” before you commit to living out there!
 ​If you want an entertaining read, I would look no further. I’m glad I picked up this book and I fully intend on passing my copy to the next friend who “discovers” Thailand and wants to skip town to live there “forever”. Thanks for sharing your stories with us Scott!
