Synopsis

There’s no place quite like Southeast Asia. Enchanting, carefree, impulsive, enigmatic, visionary and flamboyant, it is a global hot spot. This book will take you on a journey across the Indochinese Peninsula and maritime expanse of a beguiling subcontinent. In Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Thailand, it paints a vivid picture not only of the places of interest, but also of the culture, history and politics of the region. Both a travel guide and an entertaining account of a stranger trying to make sense of a strange land, it searches for answers to some of the region’s greatest and smallest questions: Who is the Buddhist Osama bin Laden? Why did the US lose the Vietnam War? What should you pack for a picnic in a Buddhist hell garden? 'Dog Dinners & Snake Wine' is more than a travelogue: it’s a knowledgeable companion to take on the roads of Southeast Asia and an essential guide for first-time visitors and serial returners. www.dogdinnersandsnakewine.com
