	bookideas.com: Monsoon Country by Pira Sudham
		This is the novel that earned Pira Sudham his nomination for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
		As in others of his works, he writes in English, which is a language he is able to command with fluency and sensitivity but which acts as a barrier to understanding to the people about whom he is most often concerned.
		Pira is concerned with both the mental crippling that the effect of under-development and poverty has had on the Isaan people and the potentially negative impacts of development when it does arrive.

		Pira Sudham does not just criticise political authority but also goes for other groups that he perceives as perpetrators of Isarn oppression.

		Sudham shows keen understanding of a sharp narative and insight into both Thai and Western culture.

	Pattaya Mail - Pattaya's First English Language Newspaper
		Pira Sudham is an interesting man in himself, coming from the Esarn region of Thailand, and he is able to write with accuracy of the plight of the disadvantaged from that area.
		He also writes with his heart on his sleeve, and it is possible to see Pira Sudham himself through the words ascribed to one of the principal characters, Prem Surin.
		The word pictures painted by Pira Sudham are powerful enough to stir the reader to wish for action and justice for the oppressed.

	ABAC Journal September-December, 1999
		The other writer Pira Sudham, who hails from the poorest part of Thailand, the Northeastern plains, discovered poetry and his love for English as a young boy minding the buffaloes in the fields.
		Pira Sudham is a Thai writer who writes entirely in English, and in a deceptively easy style, conjures up in his novel, Monsoon Country, a picture of rural Thailand where people depend on the seasonal rain to eke out a living by working on the land.
		The way Pira Sudham has structured the narrative along a significant time frame spanning March 1954 to July 1980 is indicative of the deep underlying meaning of the novel.

	bookideas.com: The Force of Karma by Pira Sudham
		Pira Sudham is a Thai writer from the Isaan region, which is the poorest part of Thailand and one which has suffered perhaps more than most from the corruption and environmental destruction inflicted upon the country.
		From the sale of children into factory sweatshops or brothels to the forced removal of people from their homes to accommodate new eucalyptus plantations that will poison the land, Pira Sudham has been a faithful and compassionate witness to the trials and tribulations of his people.
		Sudham’s intention is to write for other people, to demonstrate and explain the nature of Thailand (or Siam, as he prefers) and the Thai and Lao people of Isaan.

	Shadowed Country by Pira Canning Sudham
		Sudham suggests there is a link between the demise of the Marquess and the ignoble birth of an infant in a poor and remote Isan village.
		Pira Canning Sudham cunningly exploits a belief in the force of karma and harsh social condition to reveal the horror and magnitude of injustice and corruption in the society that is 'rotten at the core, to fall eventually on its own accord'.
		Pira Canning Sudham admirably deals with such stark, gross or painful subject matters with a poetic narrative that has become one of the most remarkable writings of modern literature.

		Pira's books were aimed at English speaking farangs in Thailand and overseas who do not have access to Thai society and culture.

		This latest book is more of an ‘expanded’ anthology, which author Pira says is the result of 50 years experience, writing and re-writing.
		Pira Canning Sudham scores because his accounts are by a Thai, from the inside.
		Having been born in Napo, a small village in Buriram province, he tells it as it really is. The mind numbing education system and the dirt poor farmers.

	bookideas.com: Tales of Thailand by Pira Sudham
		Just like the situation faced by migrants on the fringes of Thailand and Thai society, the poor are not protected by the central state but are instead subject to the vagaries of local power wielders.
		The urgency, the bitterness and the need for justice are plain to see in his intentions for his work and in the work itself but, as he is a writer of fiction then it is as an author that Pira Sudham should be judged.
		Unfortunately, Pira Sudham writes at a snail’s pace and although his Estate work in providing resources and help to impoverished local people is of inestimable value, it would serve the cause of Thai literature more if he were able to produce a little more.

		Upon arrival, we were met by Khun Pira Sudham, the Thai author who founded the Napo Village Project.
		Somewhat disorganised and extremely kind hearted, he is a prime example of how someone of impoverished origins can raise himself through hard work to a position of rank and privilege.
		During the course of this visit, Khun Pira was approached by a local lady, who asked him to take in a young orphaned boy from her, for his parents had died and she could not afford to keep him herself.
