It never rains but it pours, especially for freelance writers! On 1 May 2012 the latest edition of Frommer's Thailand, updated by Ron, hits the bookshelves, but even more exciting for Ron is the release of his first self-published book, Searching for Shangri-La, a collection of travelogues, essays and ramblings on topics as riveting as sweeping leaves, driving buses and getting lost.
