Set in Thailand, England and Germany Monsoon Country is concerned with the cultural tension between the East and the West, the clashes between the new power and the old values, covering two decades of socio-economic and political changes occurring in Thailand. The novel gives, as no other fiction on Thailand has yet done, insights into Thai life, particularly that of rural Thailand.
