After moving from the safety of middle class rural life in England, Alex and his family come to terms with living in Chiang Mai. It?s a little bit different. Well, to be honest with you, it?s about as different as having a nice quiet country walk and then deciding to see what it?s like to go ten rounds in the Saturday Night No Holds Barred Cage Fight Slaughterhouse Rumble hosted by the Creative Breaking legend Iron Knuckles Kane. It is excruciatingly different, and anybody who tells you otherwise is simply lying or well adjusted.
Alex bumbles through another year treading prawns into the British Ambassadors carpet, unwittingly befriending The Triads, getting mixed up with the shadowy underworld of Chiang Mai?s Water Bandits and ending up in Chiang Mai?s police station.
