Lady of Isan by Michael Schemmann is refreshingly different from most books that I have read about Thai/farang relationships.
Michael has written honestly and from the heart about his own experiences without bitterness, hate or blame. Too many foreign men who make mistakes in Thailand blame the ladies entirely for their losses and hurt. Michael takes the responsibility for his problems onto his own shoulders and, in doing so, shows us very clearly the task facing two people from very different cultures.
Many readers drawn to this book may empathise with Michael's emotional roller coaster ride through his relationship. Others who are planning to have a successful relationship with a Thai woman should read this book now!
A thoroughly recommendable book.
