New Mandala is very pleased to announce a new series of essays. In a departure from previous practice these essays are in Thai. They have been written for the benefit of the native Thai speaking portion of our audience and, even more so, for those New Mandala readers who have some grasp of the language but who would appreciate an opportunity to read simple but interesting Thai-language articles. Some months back we received a suggestion that such a resource would be appreciated. Over time, and with audience interest, we hope to expand the range of such resources that we can provide.

Please let us know how you find this. It is, for your reference, by р╣Ар╕Фр╣Зр╕Бр╕Кр╕▓р╕вр╕Др╕┤р╕бр╕лр╕▒р╕Щр╕Хр╣М.
