The untold stories of Thais who played unexpected roles in world history!

In Thais In World History, join Thai scholars and government officers aboard the Hirano Maru during World War I, the ship that didn’t survive German submarine attack and now sits at the ocean floor. Hear the tale of a Thai in the US who owned an RMS Titanic ticket but chose not to set sail. Follow a group of Thai students crossing paths with Lenin during their escape from the Russian revolution, and learn how Fidel Castro once sat in an economics class with a Thai professor.

This nonfiction delight not only imparts history lessons in a lively and engaging way but also sheds light on the ordinary people behind the famous names in world events. Thais In World History is your passport to a world where everyday individuals, just like us, shape the course of history in remarkable ways.
