Postcards from Chiangmai by Tim Wyatt is the perfect antidote to the ‘nice’ glossy celebrity travelogues from the likes of Stephen Fry and Michael Palin and their ilk with their corporate duty not to offend. After all, the benign BBC is picking up the tab for the books and the televisions shows that spawned them. Fortunately, former television reporter and freelance writer Tim Wyatt is unencumbered by such sensitivities. He’s produced a little gem covering three fascinating months (starting at the buttend of 2006) seeking spiritual enlightenment and sanctuary from an increasingly absurd Britain in Chiangmai in northern Thailand.
