Thailand: Thai King’s Biography · Global Voices
Preetam Rai

Bookish in Thailand rounds up what other bloggers are saying about a new biography on Thailand's king.  Thailand usually bans books or movies that shows the monarchy in negative light. The blogger is looking forward to reading the book and says “As much as I respect the King and his contributions to Thai society, I don’t think the official biography, which is endlessly repeated on Thai television and glosses over some of the conflicts he has had to overcome, truly honors his achievements. Hopefully I’ll get hold of the book and be able to give a Thai perspective on it.”
