About this ebook
In this, the third instalment of “The LOS Diaries”, Mark Jones provides more experienced comment on the cultural nuances of a rapidly developing part of the world. Living the dream in South East Asia, the author once again mixes his own brand of laconic storytelling with humorous and insightful observations on the region.
Expanding on his experiences in the area’s naughty nightlife scene, short travel diaries provide an interesting look at the remote and far flung reaches beyond the red light districts of downtown Bangkok, Pattaya and Singapore. The comforts of the tourist fleshpots are left far behind in sojourns to the mountainous regions of Northern Laos and the remote temple sites of Cambodia. These are the LOS Diaries.

Reviews for The LOS Diaries Part Three
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
4/5
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Informative.The author isn't just a boozy sexpat but loves exploring caves + photography.Towards the end is like listening to a recently divorced man .His reason for being in love with Thailand disappearing fast.He hasn't formed the correct impression of Vietnam on his short visits but if he is willing to rent a girl for $500 for 3 days he will be very popular there! I enjoyed the Laos chapter.
