Abstract: Lek nació como la hija mayor de cuatro en una familia típica de productores de arroz. No esperaba hacer nada diferente de las otras chicas de su clase en el cinturón de arroz del norte de Tailandia. Normalmente eso sería: trabajar en el campo durante algunos años; tener algunos bebés; dárselos a mamá para que los cuide y volver a trabajar hasta que sus hijos tengan sus propios hijos y ella pueda dejar de trabajar para cuidarlos. Un día ocurrió una catástrofe inesperada: su padre murió joven y con enormes deudas de las que la familia no sabía nada. Lek tenía veinte años y era la única que podía evitar la ejecución hipotecaria. Sin embargo, la única forma que conocía era ir a trabajar al bar de su prima en Pattaya.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Abstract: Lek was born the eldest child of four in a typical rice farming family. She did not expect to do anything any different from the other girls in her class in the northern rice belt of Thailand.Typically that would be: work in the fields for a few years; have a few babies; give them to mum to take care of and back to work until her kids had their own children and she could stop working to take care of them.One day a catastrophe occurred out of the blue – her father died young and with huge debts that the family knew nothing about. Lek was twenty and she was the only one who could prevent foreclosure. However, the only way she knew was to go to work in her cousin's bar in Pattaya.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Abstract: Daddy's Hobby Het verhaal van Lek, een Thais barmeisje in Pattaya, Thailand Achter de glimlach Boek 1. Door Owen Jones. Lek is als oudste kind van vier in een typische rijstboeren familie geboren. Ze had niet verwacht dat ze iets anders zou doen dan de andere meisjes uit haar klas in de noordelijke rijstgordel van Thailand. Een typisch leven zou zijn: werken in de velden voor een paar jaar, een paar baby's krijgen, de baby's aan mama geven om voor te zorgen en weer aan het werk tot haar kinderen hun eigen kinderen zouden krijgen, en het haar beurt zou zijn om te stoppen met werken om voor hen te zorgen. Op een dag gebeurde er echter iets wat haar hele leven veranderde - haar vader stierf jong en met enorme schulden waar de familie niets van wist. Lek was twintig jaar oud en zij was de enige die inbeslagneming kon voorkomen. De enige manier was om in de bar van haar nicht in Pattaya te gaan werken. Ze besloot als serveerster aan het werk te gaan, maar toen ze zich realiseerde dat ze zwanger was van haar waardeloze, vervreemde echtgenoot, moest er iets veranderen. Ze kreeg de baby, gaf haar aan haar moeder om voor te zorgen, en ging weer aan het werk. Maar nu had ze echt geld nodig om haar kind een beter leven te geven. Ze dreef de toeristische seksindustrie binnen. Het boek vertelt enkele van haar 'avonturen', haar dromen en nachtmerries en haar 'modus operandi'. Het probeert te laten zien, vanuit Lek's oogpunt, hoe het echt is om een Thais barmeisje te zijn - de hoop en frustraties, teleurstellingen, leugens en bedrog die deel uitmaken van haar dagelijks leven. Op een dag ontmoet ze een man die ze leuk vindt en hij vindt haar ook leuk. Niets nieuws, het was honderden keren eerder gebeurd, maar ze voelt dat het deze keer anders is. Ze brengen vier weken samen door, en dan gaat hij naar huis - zoals alle mannen voor hem, liet hij beloftes en hoop achter. Hij komt terug, maar het echte leven met een echte vriend is niet zo makkelijk als ze had gedroomd. Ze maken goede en slechte tijden mee, maar blijven ze bij elkaar en voor hoe lang? Zal ze na alles wat ze heeft meegemaakt, in staat zijn om weer een gewone vriendin of zelfs een vrouw te zijn? Zal ze ooit nog eens echt in staat zijn om een man genoeg te vertrouwen? Of zou ze er beter aan doen om haar dromen op te geven en verder te werken in de bar? Wees voorzichtig met wat je wenst, Lek.. Achter de glimlach verwijst naar het feit dat Thailand wereldwijd bekend staat als 'het land van de glimlach'.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
