“An ironic historical perspective, doses of broad humor and a wide range of Thai characters’.
James Eckhardt, Phuket Gazette
“The characters were so representative of the people I had met in Pattaya that I felt I knew many of them already”.
Temujin, Prostitution Research Centre
“I think Peter Jaggs’ books are in danger of being recognized as modern classics of Pattaya. I have never read anything so good set amongst the sois and bars of Pattaya”.
Richard Ravensdale, Pattaya Trader
“There are more than a few books by farangs about Pattaya, ‘From Beggar to Butterfly’ one of the best. While perusing it James Michener’s tales of the South Pacific came to mind”.
Bernard Trink, Bangkok Post
