Confessions of a Bangkok PI

by Warren Olson

Overview

Two-timing bargirls, suspicious spouses and lesbian lovers - it was all in a day's work for Bangkok Private Eye Warren Olson. For more than a decade, Olson walked the mean streets of the Big Mango. Fluent in Thai and Khmer, he was able to go where other private eyes feared to tread. His clients included Westerners who had lost their hearts and life savings to moneyhungry bargirls. But he had more than his fair share of Thai clients, too, including a sweet old lady who was ripped off by a Christian conman and a Thai girl blackmailed by a former lover. The stories are based on Olson's case files, disguised to protect the innocent and the guilty by bestselling author Stephen Leather. Olson has now relocated to his native New Zealand with his Thai wife and daughter, but the agency that he founded is still open for business at www.thaiprivateeye.com.

Warren Olson worked as a horse trainer in New Zealand and Thailand before becoming the marketing manager at a hotel in northeast Thailand. Not only did the hotel boast eighty local ladies in its massage parlour, but the mafia family who owned it imported Russian prostitutes on the side. Olson then successfully reinvented himself as a private detective and worked the bars and back alleys of Bangkok for almost a decade. The company he founded in Bangkok is still open for business.
