Khunying Lin Srivisanvaja was the first Thai woman to receive a medical degree and practise medicine in Thailand. Su­malee Viravaidya, a journalist, ensured a gender equality clause was added to the Thai Constitution.

In the spring of 2018 I was feeling rather sorry for myself. I was in London, living out of a suit­case and working for a cause with which I had become particularly disillusioned. Cynical of the wily workings of the West and armed with a whimsical flight of fancy to head east I sent my resume to The Phuket News. Whilst polite about my unsolicited advances, there was of course no position available for this random chancer.

He appeared out of nowhere. My personal assistant. He was dressed in his work uniform. I don’t know where he came from but he ran towards me.  As he neared he smiled and crouched down right before me. He must have been about a metre away from my face. He didn’t say a word, just kept beaming at me.
