Adventure1 Publications

Based in northernmost Thailand, each book we publish is unique and interesting in its own way.  Most deal with Thailand in one form or another, but they also touch upon Buddhism, Hot-Button Thai politics (Thaksin and ilk), organic farming/gardening, natural health, quirks of language, environmentalism, eroticism, and other ....isms.

Guarded Conversations - Subtitled; 'How Thailand was Won and Lost in the 1st Decade of the 21st Century' takes a cheeky view of the topsy turvy career of a former Thai Prime Minister. Featuring alleged conversations between the former caretaker-PM and his closest people, the all-dialogue parody listens in to words shared with the man’s former wife, his son, and his stable of hot-shot attorneys. The reader can decide whether Mister ‘I am through with politics’ was ever out of the game, and to what extent he and his family and friends were entwined with the Red Demonstrations of Spring 2010.

Adventure1 is essentially a one-person operation.  So too was Shakespeare - at least on the writing end.   I'm no Shakespeare, but similar to him, each book in this selection deals with its own unique topic.  In other words, no two books are alike - so hopefully at least one book in our selection catches your fancy.  contact
