Yuan Phai, the defeat of Lanna : a fifteenth-century Thai epic poem / translated and edited by Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit.

Baker, Christopher John, 1948- (editor,, translator.). Pasuk Phongpaichit, (editor,, translator.).

Summary:

Written after a battle fought in approximately 1475, this poem may be the oldest work of literature from Siam. It features the earliest and most detailed description of a Siamese army, the most elaborate eulogy of an early Thai monarch, and a fascinating discussion of the concept of loyalty. Scenes of personal treachery, heroism, combat, and looting after victory give an absorbing image of early Siam.
