(Paperback)

The author, a young American anthropologist, spent three years studying Bangkok's red-light district, Patpong, an area of a few blocks teeming with bars and explicit sex shows. In this book, she concludes that some of the Patpong people, far from being downtrodden and exploited, reveal themselves to be intelligent, and highly entrepreneurial.
