I read this book too, and yes, I liked it. What the Poster before probably meant regarding your comment, is that Houllebecq does not write about the "real" Thailand, the Land that we know, rather than a "Thailand" which serves a purpose in this book: To be a remote (but accessible for Westerners) "Mystery" Land, unspoiled, easy Sex, and all this. Although Houllebecq mentiones Places and Streets known to us, this is not to be ment as a description of the real Thailand, and not a description of "our" Thailand.

 

 

 

Just my 2 Cents.
