	BookRags: Momrajawong (M.R.) Kukrit Pramoj Biography
		Momrajawong (M.R.) Kukrit Pramoj (1911-1995) was a leading political and literary figure in Thailand during the four decades after World War II, authoring the Thai constitution of 1974 and serving as prime minister, among other activities.
		M.R. Kukrit, a direct descendant of King Rama II (1809-1824), was probably the leading intellectual of his generation in Thailand and one who was as close to achieving status as a "renaissance man" as any figure in contemporary Asia.
		Kukrit was admired by Thais, not only as an emblem of democracy, but of the best of Thailand itself: a Buddhist (and briefly a monk) but mischievous; pluralist but monarchist.

		M.R. Kukrit was a striking example, and to underscore the point made here, I would like to discuss a short piece, entitled "My Dog is Missing" which first appeared on December 11, 1968 in Siam Rath, a Thai language daily of which M.R. Kukrit was the owner/editor.
