Guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Hi there May be you should look in the COMPUSERVE TRAVEL FORUM. You can reach it from the web after just a small registration at no extra cost. This is where I first heard from Cleo and this is where I heard from her demise.

PhordPhan Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Yes, I agree with Pattaya127. The book wasn't a total waste. I enjoyed the funny anecdotes and it provided a glimple into parts of Thai life that the average sex tourist (like me ) would not normally see. I did object to the sappy stories of her "love affair" with that street hustler. It seemed way off topic, the book ostensibly being about bg's and the industry as a whole, not the Life and Loves of Dr. O. At the time I was looking for a bit more information on the Sanuk scene and felt she missed a great opportunity. The PhD comment was tongue-in-cheek. I read that the book was, more-or-less, a derivative of her doctoral thesis. That's why I said what I said. If the thesis was anything like the book... Anyway, I have a pristine copy of the book in hardcover if anybody's interested PhordPhan Internet klutz, bon vivant and all-around nice guy.

Guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 The NYTimes is a great paper, but it is very stuffy, politically correct, bleeding heart liberal, and in some ways behind the times. So it is not certain they would run an obit on Cleo even if they knew she died. I quote Cleo's opinion of Patpong girls in Thailand: Land of Beautiful Women. In the book, I refer to "Cleo is." The book is with the printer now so too late to change it to "the late Cleo was...." Not a happy change, anyway. And, besides, we can't confirm it yet. Cheers!

Guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 It's too bad too die at such a young age but I thought her book was garbage. She says she spent nearly a year in Thailand before she even worked up the nerve to go to Patong. Shallow is how I would describe it. Thai girls just love being prostitutes and everything has a happy ending (yeah right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibblies Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Interesting how these things bite you up I've got this one: There's a young Thai singer named Jason Young. I used to hear about him all the time because I share his first name. Recently, I heard from various people that he's died, but from others, that he hasn't. I can't find anything on the Net. It's eating me up! I feel a strange kinship with this guy by now.? Anyone know anything? Strange the things you can't find on the web. I once tried to find a picture of a Jaffa cake for someone that hadn't seen one. Easy, you'd think? Spent hours.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
