This book is your wake-up call.

This isn't the Thailand you see in glossy travel brochures or the perfectly curated Instagram feeds.

This is the Thailand you'll encounter when you step off that plane, face-to-face with a culture that doesn't give two hoots about your expectations. Here, you'll find yourself trying to figure out whether the "friendly" tuk-tuk driver is ripping you off, dodging endless street vendors trying to sell you fake everything, or being lured into the nightlife underworld where things can get... complicated.

But don't worry—I'm not here to scare you. I'm here to arm you with the truth. The kind of truth that will keep you safe, sane, and, most importantly, one step ahead of the chaos. Because here's the thing: Thailand's dirty secrets don't have to ruin your trip. In fact, they can make it memorable—if you're smart about it.

In this book, I'll take you through the dos and definitely-don'ts of navigating Thailand. From the moment you land to the second you leave (hopefully with all your belongings and your dignity intact), I'll show you how to dodge the landmines, avoid the scams, and still have a hell of a good time.

So buckle up, pal. This is Thailand, the way it really is. And it's a hell of a ride...
