About this listen

Miss Bangkok is a vivid, powerful and moving memoir of a life spent in prostitution in Thailand. Poor and uneducated, Bua Boonmee escaped an abusive marriage only to end up in the go-go bars of Patpong. There, in the notorious red-light district of Bangkok, she succumbed to prostitution in an effort to support her family.

Bua’s story is one of resilience and courage in the face of abuse and poverty. Her confessions will make you laugh and cry, cringe and applaud. She will change your perception of prostitution forever.

I was captivated by this story from the start. This book reveals with clarity and empathy the social and economic barriers in Thailand that make a life a prostitution the only viable option for many young Thai women. The storytelling by the narrator brought so much authenticity and realism. Well worth your time.

Heartbreaking story beautifully told

I loved getting to know this brave woman. The difficult choices she had to make throughout her young life into adulthood in a culture where the paths ahead were limited. The narrator is especially skilled in bringing both this woman and the culture to life in a way that was illuminating and without any self pity. There is such a wonderful matter of factness in her read that matched the writer’s intention. There is no emotional manipulation here - but rather a straightforward telling that makes compassion a given.

The journey itself is so worth the read!!!

I wasn't expecting to be so sucked into this story, but it had me in the first chapter. I was constantly rooting for the lead character and vented to a fellow listener about one twist that totally had me going crazy! The narrators voice is LOVELY and her accent is wonderful.

Wonderful story, fantastic delivery!

I was very interested to learn about this lady’s hard life. I think it’s an important story to hear. I sincerely hope the best for her. This story shines the light on prostitution and shows the desperation that often leads to it as well as how difficult a life it is and the toll it takes on the women.

The narrator did a phenomenal job and was a delight to listen to! I will be looking for more of her work.
