Literature In Thailand




The most important poet in Thai literature was Sunthorn Phu , who is best known for his romantic adventure story ''Phra Aphai Mani'' and nine travel pieces called '' Nirat s''.

Kings Rama V and Rama VI were also writers, mainly of Non-fiction works as part of their programme to combine Western knowledge with traditional Thai culture.

20th century Thai writers have tended to produce light fiction rather than literature, but the Isan region has produced two notably sociocritical writers in Kamsing Srinok and Pira Sudham .
