Letters from Thailand by Botan

When the original Thai version of Letters from Thailand appeared in Bangkok in 1969, it was promptly awarded the SEATO Prize for Thai Literature.

"The deft and at times hilarious comedy of these letters lies in the slow but relentless erosion of Tan Suang U's principles, under the balmy influence of a sunnier, lazier land"

* The New York Review of Books *

"This is a fascinating book, and I heartily recommend it to all Westerners who know and love Thailand."

* Bangkok Post Sunday Magazine *

Botan (pseud. Supa Sirising) is a native of Bangkok, born of Chinese parents. She has published more than ten novels, most of which reflect women’s and children’s perspectives.
