Templed Out

- Romance and culture shock in Thailand

Bag om Templed Out

If you are thinking of going to Thailand, you need to read this book! English tourist Col has the knack for putting his foot in it time and time again, making embarrassing cultural blunders in a country where whistling after dark will attract evil spirits, where pointing with your feet is the height of bad manners, and where there is definitely a wrong way to sit while wearing a sarong. In this dark romantic comedy about culture shock, Col has met and fallen for Lucky, a Thai girl, in his home town of London and follows her to Bangkok - where things don't turn out as he expects. Will he make it to one of those tropical beaches that he's heard so much about, or will Lucky get her way and drag him along to a series of Thai temples? What is the correct etiquette when you want to tell a Thai person that you've seen so many temples that you're 'templed out'?" And what about those friends of Col who wind him up by saying that Lucky's just after his money? Col knows better - doesn't he? templed out (tɛmpᵊld aʊt), adjectival phrase - an expression used by travellers to describe a physical and mental state of exhaustion induced by having visited a large number of temples.
