Pira Sudham's Last Three Stories

Pira Sudham added three more short stories to his writing output. Now living in the village in Northeast Thailand where he was born, he says these will be the last work he does. The stories are Operation Mopping Up, A War on of Streets of Bangkok and To Australia and Back.

At the age of 14, Pira Sudham left his home village in the northeastern region of Thailand to be a servant to monks at a Bangkok Buddhist monastery. There, he was permitted to attend classes at the monastery school. To see himself through high school and the first year at the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, he sold souvenirs to tourists until he was awarded a scholarship to study in New Zealand.

While reading English at Victoria University, the young student had his short stories published by New Zealand's leading quarterly, Landfall. Since then his literary works have appeared in Australia, USA, Hong Kong and Thailand.

Pira Sudham's books include Tales of Thailand and People of Esarn The Damned of Thailand & The Kingdom in Conflicts.

In 2014, It is the People, an anthology of his short stories, was published as an ebook, followed by Monsoon Country and its sequel, The Force of Karma.
