Twenty-two year old Ange Takats has no idea what is about to hit her when she arrives in Bangkok to take up a job as a TV news foreign correspondent. Her Australian journalism degree proves handy when she’s granted a rare interview with Burmese freedom leader Aung San Suu Kyi. But textbooks won’t help her when she is being chased by a tiger in a Buddhist monastery… confronted with heroin addicts in Hanoi... or having her breasts massaged with Tiger Balm while filming a story about Thai boob jobs. Ange dives into the bizarre side of Thai reporting life and finds herself running from rockets at a rainmaking festival… and saying a prayer at a funeral for a water buffalo. As if her day job isn’t colourful enough, Thailand also gives Ange the chance to pursue her passion for music. She lands a gig in a folk rock band with a couple of whisky swigging Thai musicians who give her an education she’ll never forget. Between the exotic assignments and late-night jam sessions, Ange falls in love with a Romanian Canadian medical student in the jungles of Laos. She’s faced with a dilemma: Should she follow the man who just might be ‘the one’ or keep living her life of adventure in the Land of Smiles? Copyright © 2011. All rights reserved Ange Takats
