A note from Frank
“A vacation should end with good memories, not a drained savings account and a lesson you paid for.”

I’ve heard too many stories that start the same way. A smart, successful man lands in Bangkok and makes decisions he’d never make at home. He pays a bar bill without reading it. He falls for someone over the phone and wires money he can’t afford to lose.

None of these men are stupid. Nobody told them how things work here. These books are the conversation I wish someone had with them before they got on the plane.

Why the second book exists

Americans over 60 lost $7.7 billion to internet crime in 2025.

Romance scams were among the costliest. The people running them do it for a living, and they know exactly what a lonely, successful man wants to hear.

Source: FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, 2025 report. Most victims never report, so the real totals are higher.

Questions

Before you order

Are these printed books?

No. They’re PDF ebooks you download right after checkout. Read them on a phone, tablet, or computer, and print any page you like, such as the emergency card or the checklists.

Which book should I start with?

If you’re planning a trip, start with Eyes Wide Open. It covers entry rules, health, money, scams, and safety. If you’ve met someone, or you’re talking to someone online, start with Before You Fall in Love in Thailand. If both apply, the set saves you $12.

Is the type big enough to read comfortably?

Yes. Both books use large, clear type with plenty of space, and a PDF lets you zoom in as far as you need on any device.

Is the information up to date?

Rules, fees, and figures were checked against official sources in November 2026, including the U.S. State Department, Thailand’s Immigration Bureau, USCIS, and the FBI’s 2025 crime report. Thai rules change often, so the books also tell you where to confirm each one before you act.

Is this legal advice?

No. The books are general information from someone who wants you to go in prepared. For property, marriage, visas, or wills, they tell you when to see a qualified lawyer, and what to ask.

Is the dating book against Thai women?

Not at all. Frank knows plenty of American men who built caring, lasting marriages in Thailand. The book is about spotting scams and avoiding the cultural and legal mistakes that hurt both partners.

How will I receive them?

Straight after checkout you’ll get a download link on screen and by email. There’s no subscription and no special app.

What if a book isn’t right for me?

You’re covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. Reply to your delivery email within seven days and you’ll get a full refund.
