About
When Rosemary travels to Thailand to meet her prospective daughter-in-law, she learns much more about the culture of the country than she would travelling purely as a tourist. Her travel account is embellished with colourful photos, idioms of language, humour and excitement. With her partner, her son and his new wife, they travel the winding roads through the mountains, visit astounding temples and caves, experience an earthquake, a torrential storm in a long-tailed boat, sweat in the heat, visit tropical islands, and of course, eat all sorts of wonderful foods. On their trip to the airport, heading home, with no one available to translate, there is something weird going on and they begin to fear for their safety. If you'd like to get a taste of the real Thailand, as well as the tourist Thailand, you'll enjoy this book. I work as a freelance technical writer and, in between assignments, take off for weeks or months at a time to try out different travel experiences and write about them. So far I've written books about touring in a campervan (New Zealand by Campervan: the South Island)), coastal sailing the Australian east coast in a small yacht (North on Rocinante, and Second Season), self-booked travel (Rosemary's Travels: Italy, Malta, Hong Kong and China) and travelling Thailand with my son and his Thai wife (Touring Thailand with a Thai). Combining my experience in workplace training and coastal sailing, I've also published Coastal Sailing Discovery Learning Guide to help those who have always dreamed of living on a boat find a way to make it happen.Passing on my expertise as a technical writer, I've published Clarity out of Complexity about how to write effective workplace procedures.There are more travel stories to come: a Trafalgar tour around the UK, a road trip to South Australia camping in a tent, an Intrepid trip to Turkey, a road trip in Portugal. And my next escapade will involve touring Australia in a campervan. Follow me for more adventures!My base is a house in Sydney, where I live with my pet python and a flowing stream of family, friends and fellow travellers.
