WELCOME ME TO THE KINGDOM Stories

This collection of linked short stories brings together a talented ensemble of narrators to present a multilayered look at contemporary Thai society. Melody Butiu, Brian Sounalath, Rachanee Lumayno, Su Ling Chan, Sura Siu, Patrick Lawlor, and James Tang work together to dramatize a wide range of characters. Highlights include Butiu, who conveys the heartbreaking innocence of Nam's early days of trying to survive on the streets of Bangkok. Sounalath is a solid choice for several male characters, including Vitat, who seeks to make his dreams come true through the music of Elvis. This robust listening experience offers great storytelling. M.R. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
