This is a stand-alone novel by the talented Stephen Leather based in Bangkok, Thailand. This book is quite different from the twenty or so other novels that I have read by this author and is not so much about crime as the strange love story between Pete a British journalist and Joy a Pole Dancer.
Pete moves to Thailand from London as part of his work. He becomes involved with a dancer and prostitute named Joy and becomes infatuated by her believing that he has found love.
He gives her money and This is a stand-alone novel by the talented Stephen Leather based in Bangkok, Thailand. He gives her money and helps her survive but she in turn uses him.
She is already with Thai man and uses the money she receives to keep him happy. The novel is told by each character along the way and it is intriguing to see how each person feels and thinks about what is going on at that time.
This is particularly prevalent to the different cultures and their priorities. A good solid read and I felt that a little stronger finish to the novel would have made a big difference to my personal opinion.
Jan 09, Trupti Dorge rated it really liked it Shelves: e-book. When I searched for books based in Thailand on the internet, Private Dancer came up many times.
I was thrilled when I found out that this book was available as free download on the authors site. A printed version of the book is now available but the author has not taken down the link for this one.
Anyway, I started this book when we went on a vacation to Pattaya, Thailand for the new year. What a great insight it was into the world of this so-called couples I saw around.
The entire tourist area in Pattaya is filled with bars and sleaze that is usually associated with it. There are similar areas in Bangkok that are famous, viz.
Nana Plaza, Patpong and a couple of others. Private Dancer is set in and around these areas. Pete moves to Thailand from London for work.
He does everything for her and she in turn is using him, as bar girls do, to get money out of him. The writer has a very interesting way of telling a story.
We get to know about story and the various characters from the characters themselves. Since this book is written mostly from the prospective of guys, most of whom are in Thailand for the sleaze, you get a different perspective of bar girls than you would from other people, or woman for that matter.

Get ready to step into an alternate universe where anyone can be bought for the price of a cinema ticket, beautiful Asian ladies and lady-boys aka katoeys abound and everyone is playing a game on the board known as Life.
Pete falls for drop-dead beautiful Joy but she isn't what she seems. Like that is a surprise. Homegirl plays her farang like a violin all the way up until the end but these leads to murderous consequences no one could have foreseen coming.
This is a great book, not only because there is an obvious amount of research Mr. Leather invested but it is amazing from an anthropological and cultural stand point.
Well done, Mr. Leather; I look forward to diving in many more of your gorgeous novels. Us Yanks don't know what we have been missing from not discovering this awesome British writer.
Love it! Oct 14, Yeany Dahlan rated it really liked it. A chilling story which resemble more of a reportage about the dark world of Bangkok's gogo girls.
Private Dancer tells a story of a western journalist who is stationed in Bangkok and falls hard for a gogo girl from the notorious Nana Plaza - the largest legally endorsed prostitution area in Bangkok.

The story tells how "sex and fidelity" are viewed from 2 perspectives: the western's notions that sex is the ultimate symbol of love where fidelity is absolute, and from the lower social status Thai people who see it as merely ways to improve their poverty stricten condition.
It's appalling that there are many western men who become naively retarded after they falling under the power of the Orient the girls and seem to completely lose all sense and logic.
Are we really that good? Or are they such losers in their own countries they are intoxicated with the attention the power of their dollars and sadly not their personality can summon in less developing dollar hungry Asian countries.

What i loved the most about the book is that you really get a good view from both sides of the culture and thoughts. A must read for anybody who wants to visit Thailand.
And a must read for everybody who has visited Thailand. Mar 23, Simon Palmer rated it it was amazing. It inspired me to write my own book and I did.
Written by a successful crime writer, Leather has obviously experienced the seedier side of Thailand for himself or at least, has a very good source.
Action from the get-go, this book hooks you from the first line. He sees her dancing in a hostess bar, is instantly drawn to her and later pays her bar-fine and takes her home.
Told perfectly through the eyes of the girls and the guys as they speak in their own voice, their distinct viewpoint gives a believable interpretation of the events as they unfold.
Each of their voices adds another layer to a story which, in the end, is that of two young people caught in a conflict of cultures that they really don't understand.
A roller-coaster ride leaves you with an ultimate twist at the end and a desire to find the next Stephen Leather tale of Thailand. Each page leaves you wanting more.
Dec 01, Mark rated it it was amazing. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of going to Thailand for the sole purpose of picking up a bargirl for sex or even thinking of marrying one.
All's not what it seems for the unfortunate protaganist Pete who falls in love with the beautiful pole dancer Joy against the advice of his so-called drinking buddy's at Fatso's bar.

Drink, drugs, sex, violence and deception all abound in this intriguing thriller which shows the darker side of Bangkok's notorious red light districts, notably the Nana Plaza complex.
I like the way Mr. Leather has divided the book up, not in chapters but sections for each character in the story, so we get to know in detail every character and what they are thinking.
The author seems to have a lot of knowledge about the nightlife in Bangkok, I know this because I used to live in Thailand many years ago!
Some parts of the story may be exaggerated a little to make it more exciting, but a lot of what goes on in the book is true. Stephen Leather has nailed it with this book and the detail is spot on!
By the way Nana Plaza didn't exist when I lived there in the 70s. Patpong had no street market and the bars had only a few tourists and American Servicemen, so we had the run of the place!
Soi Cowboy was a pleasant little tree lined Soi behind Sukumvit with only a couple of bars, you could even take your wife in for a quiet drink if you wanted to!
Jun 09, Dina rated it it was amazing. I bought this book from the duty free as I was leaving Thailand - it was my first visit and it was such a wonderful country - BUT, your eyes need to get accustomed to seeing things you're not used to back home, sometimes your mind rejects it.
A "what happens in Thailand, stays in Thailand" kind of thing. I met alot of locals through our many night outings..

Reading this book gave me great closure and understanding to what life is like there and why it is the way it is, specially because it refers to areas and places I've been to.
It was easy to imagine. I love it. I love Thailand. Dec 07, Matt Carrell rated it it was amazing. The harshest critics are those who have steeped themselves in the ex-pat lifestyle and feel the story is too simplistic.
I really enjoyed it and p it was once suggested that single men should be issued with a free copy on arrival at Bangkok Airport.
I really enjoyed it and particularly liked the technique by which each key scene is described from the perspective of different characters.
The same circumstances can be interpreted in totally different ways depending on whether they are being viewed by a Thai or a westerner.
Aug 02, Leander rated it liked it. It's a best book of a Farang with a beautiful Thai bar girl who's more than what she seems! Some interesting facts about Thai culture in between the lines Aug 03, Az Lina rated it it was amazing.
Couldn't put the book down once I've started. Was even late for work a couple of times cos I was reading it in bed and forgot about the time.
Apr 01, Alyse rated it really liked it. When you are jet lagged and can't sleep after a trip to south east Asia, I highly recommend reading Private Dancer.
Apr 21, Yossi rated it really liked it. Apr 25, Suzy Quinn rated it it was amazing. Wonderful, even-handed view of the Thai sex industry, told from the perspectives of several different western customers, a Thai bar girl and a Thai detective.
What's particularly great about it, aside from the fact it's extremely entertaining and easy to read, is that by giving such a wide range of perspectives, I felt that a really fair picture of bar girls was painted.
They're not just money grabbing horrible people, and nor are western customers 'innocent' victims.
There are many shades of grey. Anyway, I loved it and would recommend it to anyone visiting Thailand. Dec 31, AnalogMind rated it it was amazing.
The main character is so annoying and pathetic. Metaphors generally excite me. The most brilliant metaphors I found here 1.
Big Ron talks about the way Pete thinks he won the game like a fish got caught that thinks "look at the boat I've caught", "look at me, taking over the boat".
They press the right buttons and money comes out. And if one ATM machine is shut down, they can easily fin The main character is so annoying and pathetic.
And if one ATM machine is shut down, they can easily find another one. Dec 31, Amanda rated it really liked it.
This book would be recommended for audiences who find an interested in cultural differences. I found it very informative about Thailand and how things are viewed differently there.
The way that it was written was from a first person point of view which helps you build a relationship with all of the characters. I discovered a whole new perspective about life among the Thai's as well as what goes on in the world of a go-go dancer.
Apr 09, Kevin Lake rated it it was amazing. Man, this is a great book and a must read for anyone coming to southeast asia.
I live in the Philippines, not Thailand, the setting of this story, but things seem to work out exactly the same way here as they do in this story.
