From Fendi handbags to Ivy League educations, they live in a world of designer labels and unrestricted opulence -- their father's money and aristocratic status, coupled with their dazzling good looks, bought them every opportunity and advantage.

by Owen JonesDaddy's Hobby Het verhaal van Lek, een Thais barmeisje in Pattaya, Thailand Achter de glimlach Boek 1. Door Owen Jones. Lek is als oudste kind van vier in een typische rijstboeren familie geboren. Ze had niet verwacht dat ze iets anders zou doen dan de andere meisjes uit haar klas in de noordelijke rijstgordel van Thailand. Een typisch leven zou zijn: werken in de velden voor een paar jaar, een paar baby's krijgen, de baby's aan mama geven om voor te zorgen en weer aan het werk tot haar kinderen hun eigen kinderen zouden krijgen, en het haar beurt zou zijn om te stoppen met werken om voor hen te zorgen. Op een dag gebeurde er echter iets wat haar hele leven veranderde - haar vader stierf jong en met enorme schulden waar de familie niets van wist. Lek was twintig jaar oud en zij was de enige die inbeslagneming kon voorkomen. De enige manier was om in de bar van haar nicht in Pattaya te gaan werken. Ze besloot als serveerster aan het werk te gaan, maar toen ze zich realiseerde dat ze zwanger was van haar waardeloze, vervreemde echtgenoot, moest er iets veranderen. Ze kreeg de baby, gaf haar aan haar moeder om voor te zorgen, en ging weer aan het werk. Maar nu had ze echt geld nodig om haar kind een beter leven te geven. Ze dreef de toeristische seksindustrie binnen. Het boek vertelt enkele van haar 'avonturen', haar dromen en nachtmerries en haar 'modus operandi'. Het probeert te laten zien, vanuit Lek's oogpunt, hoe het echt is om een Thais barmeisje te zijn - de hoop en frustraties, teleurstellingen, leugens en bedrog die deel uitmaken van haar dagelijks leven. Op een dag ontmoet ze een man die ze leuk vindt en hij vindt haar ook leuk. Niets nieuws, het was honderden keren eerder gebeurd, maar ze voelt dat het deze keer anders is. Ze brengen vier weken samen door, en dan gaat hij naar huis - zoals alle mannen voor hem, liet hij beloftes en hoop achter. Hij komt terug, maar het echte leven met een echte vriend is niet zo makkelijk al
