Welcome to Thailand—Unfiltered.

This brutally honest guide doesn't sugar-coat life in the Land of Smiles. From shady bar scenes to dodgy expats, culture shocks to visa scams, this book tells it like it is—with grit, humor, and no BS.

Whether you're planning to visit, move, or just want the real story behind Thailand's postcard paradise, you'll get survival tips, bar truths, and jaw-dropping stories that most guidebooks would never print.

The author knows firsthand how things work—and how sometimes, they don't. When trouble hits, don't expect the system to protect you.

Written by David Meehan—bar owner, teacher, and survivor—Thailand Unfiltered is part memoir, part warning, part laugh-out-loud confession.

If you're thinking about Thailand, read this first.
