A wry look at Thai life by British ex-pat, Edwin Tipple. In his many extended visits to Thailand, he never ceases to be amazed by ordinary Thai people: the way they organise things - like the way they travel - their kindness and outlook on life. All, except one, of the twelve short tales in this book are amusing experiences you're unlikely find in any travel guide.

Biography
Edwin Tipple spends most of his retired life in Thailand, some in France and a little in the UK. His first book 'My Thai Eye' is a collection of twelve short tales of his Thai experiences that he originally wrote for friends and relatives in the UK.
That writing got him going, in 2009, on a one hundred-thousand word murder mystery that he hopes to publish in September 2012 before the sixtieth anniversary of Britain's worst railway disaster. To keep up to date with this and other new work, you are invited to visit www.edwintipple.com

- A World of Trouble
on April 24, 2012
An exiled Prime Minister, who’d love to get back into power; the current incumbent a woman from the opposite party; red shirts and yellow shirts, violent demonstrations and a good smattering of corruption in all the high places. You’ve heard something like this before, recently? Yes, it’s topical: it’s what’s been happening in Thailand – well except for the exiled PM – and it’s not done yet. This is not fiction; it is how things are here, which lends a great deal of accuracy to A World of Trouble, Needham’s latest Asia crime thriller novel. But who can calm things down before civil war breaks out? Enter Jack Shepherd, lawyer and money mover who’s hired by the ex PM to ... well that would be telling, wouldn’t it. Needham shuttles you through Dubai, Bangkok via Hong Kong and back again. While you flit from country to country, your suspicions grow. You think you know what’s coming, that it’s just the Thais squabbling amongst themselves again, and you work out how it will all end up. Then, as you turn the pages faster impatient for the end, you discover you’re wrong. A nice hook on the last page makes me suspect, no hope, that Jake will be giving us more of Jack.
