Present a video about Thailand Literature.
Discuss Thailand Literature.
Thai literature dates back to the 13th century long before Thailand (formerly
Siam) came in close contact with Western civilization. The earliest literature of
the Thai people was written in Chinese until the influence of Sanskrit and Pali
from India. Most are essentially religious, consisting of works on Buddhism and
Hinduism. Thai poetry appeared in the form of songs and lyric poems, narrative
poetry, and dance drama. Prose was used mainly for recording history and
publicizing laws.

Today, the modern literature of Thailand includes Western-style prose drama,

children’s literature, nonfictional prose autobiographies, biographies, essays,
letters, memoirs, diaries and literary criticisms.
