Join the adventures of 'Maohai,' the Basenji owned by Ployjaploen Paopanlerd, a writer with a history of canine companions—yet none quite like him (on the troublemaking scale)!

While Basenji is a breed known for its sleek physique, pointed ears, distant demeanor, and ‘Barkless’ quality, Maohai breaks the mold. He is a playful, energetic howler who loves pulling pranks when his owner is busy with work. He loves strangers, hates doctors, enjoys unconventional foods, and has a hobby of stealing household items. That’s why his name 'Maohai', a playful twist on the word ‘Mai Hao’ (barkless), perfectly captures his nature.

Inspired by the rom-com classic, 10 Things I Hate About You, Ployjaploen shares her family's funny love-hate relationship with Maohai through whimsical illustrations in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT MAOHAI. This heartwarming tale promises laughter and relatability, portraying the endearing chaos of life with a canine companion whose antics are both extremely frustrating and utterly lovable.
