A recent interview with the author
“Bruce Bickerstaff makes the insightful point that ‘shrewd’ in Sydney or San Francisco does not necessarily mean ‘shrewd’ in Thailand. This is an excellent book for anyone not only interested in investing in Thailand but also for the general reader wanting to obtain insight into how Thailand operates.”—Mark Mobius, Executive Chairman, Templeton Asset Management
“Bruce’s book has no competition in the way it comprehensively discusses the various investment options available to foreign individuals from equities to debt instruments and derivatives as well as the all-important purchasing of real estate in Thailand. Serious investors will appreciate the assessment of Thailand’s monetary and fiscal policies as well as the impact of the global recession on the country’s economic prospects.”—Supavud Saicheua, Managing Director, Phatra Securities
“This book can’t replace the real life experience of the joys and pitfalls of investing in Thailand—but it’s the next best thing! It is a must read and valuable reference manual for the newcomer to Thailand as well as the seasoned expat, and should be kept close by and referred to every time a different investment comes along.”—Andrew Durieux, President, Australia-Thai Chamber of Commerce
“There must now be many foreigners who have failed to successfully capitalise on the investment potential of this country who wish that this book had been available earlier.”—Graham MacDonald, Chairman, British Chamber of Commerce in Thailand
“Thanks a lot for publishing your investment book. It’s a blessing … Your book is a great tool – useful, valuable information and references ... and entertaining to read.”—Raimund, Tak, Thailand
“An excellent production. Congratulations!.”— Colin Mackenzie, Executive Director, Australia Thailand Business Council
“I must say that I find the book, well researched, full of information and portals for more. It is easy to read and understand and well worth a place on my bookshelf ... So well done and I am pleased with my purchase ... As a reference book Bruce it is very good and one I will always be going back to for advice.”— David, Nakhon Sawan, Thailand
“Congratulations on a very well written book. Very clear and full of good sense.”—Peter Barlow, Chiang Mai
“I already have your book … I'm a Thai ... It's very good ... I thought that your perceptions of Thai people and their attitudes are spot on".”— 'Piam', London
