Having lived in Bangkok for some time, I'm looking forward to reading these. I wonder if they really capture the down-and-dirty Bangkok life of the average Thai, and the daily corruption they face. There was some book I read a couple of years ago, about a Thai policeman that was really, really accurate, but I can't remember the name of it... I wonder if it may have been one of these.

EDIT: Well, I couldn't wait... So I just downloaded both of them to my iPhone. Being that I'll be back in Bangkok in just 11 more days, I figure these will get me back into the right frame of mind.
