The Diary of Kosa Pan

Thai Ambassador to France, June-July 1686

Edited by Dirk Van der Cruysse and Michael Smithies
Translated by Visudh Busayakul
Silkworm Books
This account of Kosa Pan’s journal describes in great detail the arrival in Brest in 1686 of the first full Siamese embassy to reach France. This fragment is apparently all that survives of a massive report of the activities of the embassy written for King Narai. It was discovered in Paris in the early 1980s, was published in Thai in 1984, and appears here in English for the first time.
