    The Tale of Khun Chang and Khun Phaen

    The Tale of Khun Chang and Khun Phaen is the seminal work in Thai classical literature. The romance between Khuns Chang and Phaen and the female love interest Wanthong are our window into Ayutthayan gender and social class. While what we find may be disagreeable to modern sensibilities, we are nonetheless compelled to bear witness and learn more - to better understand the era in question.  Visit this episode's webpage for the Dramatis Personae

    Half a world away, four months before the famous "Glorious Revolution" another revolution had taken place in Siam.
