The book is listed for $US17.99. Frank, translator and author of Lady Mo and Herorism at Tung Samrit, a historical account of Thailand 1820's what some call "destruction" of Laos, translated Dr. Pornhip's autobiography, Doctor With 10,000 Bodies, from Thai to English over a two-year period, and the translated material is at the core of this new book. The two-year period was needed because the original Thai had to be translated colloquially into English, then through an expatriate editor in Bangkok was woven into standard English narrative. Frank recounts that in his translation of the latest work he encountered extremely sad anecdotes of injustice by Thai authorities that result in thousands of bodies annually "showing up" without official accountability. Frank is available for translation of Thai language material into English, and back-check translation to ensure that any English-Thai material is appropriate and accurate.
