This 'for dummies' guide is short and to the point.  It lists major 'do's and and some important 'don't's for the international businessperson.  This guide highlights how to make moves around this country while maintaining the fact that you are a guest there.  It is always helpful to know about the culture and people in a foreign country.  Personally I found 'Puk time stories' more interesting, though a comparison of the two is hardly correct.  Actually, this guide would be a good compliment to 'Puk time' and should be part of a package deal. South east asia is still considered a frontier market, and simply being a business man or woman with plenty of US dollars won't make the grade alone.  You need to know how to handle yourself and the those around you in a place where outsiders aren't just welcomed with open arms.  Insider knowledge might even be the difference between getting a deal or not getting one. If you have already, or even plan to check out Nichols' other books about Myanmar, this is definitely a guide that is worth having to support those books.
