Rattawut lapcharoensap sightseeing near
After my first beautiful encounter with a book by a Thai author at the beginning of this year - Bangkok Wakes to Rain by Pitchaya Sudbanthad - I had the chance this weekend to discover another voice belonging to this literary realm: Rattawut Lapcharoensap. Thailand is well known to the outside world through travel books and stories, but books about real people and everyday life there is a rare encounter. As I visited Thailand, I had a hard time finding reliable resources about this country, except news and information written in a holidays-oriented tone. Tourism has a big share of the Thai economy but there is more than Pad Thai and island hoping to this country and unfortunately I did not have any access to it while on the road there. My only connection to the people living there was through the guide we got for a couple of days and the welcoming hotels and restaurants personnel. Which was not at all a real connection and even after including a rich agenda of cultural sightseeing
