Nine Years in Bangkok: Lessons Learned (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781644389973)

The magic of living and traveling in exotic locales doesn't insulate anyone from a crisis of the soul. Nine Years in Bangkok: Lessons Learned is a memoir of Sharon Bazant's adventurous, roller-coaster life as an ex-pat in Thailand.

Her path to self-discovery and acceptance is illuminated by a very real cast of characters:

• a Russian Shaman
• a spell-casting Thai massage master
• a Scottish hairdresser named Frankie Love
• a maid named Boom
• a spirit-channeling ambassador's wife
• and Andrew who became Annie.

As a westerner in Southeast Asia, she pulls back the covers on such topics as traversing culture shock, long-distance parenting, marital breakdown, workplace betrayal (and revenge), mid-life career change, and more.

Read how Sharon overcame these challenges and underwent a spiritual transformation during her nine years in Thailand. And, perhaps, see a path for yourself.
