Maurice Collis presents a fascinating insight into the minds and actions of the earliest Europeans to have come to Thailand, each party seeking to realise a different goal. He concentrates more on the efforts of one man, Samuel White, who set out to seek his fortune at the end of the rainbow in the land of the White Elephant.
The earliest of  Maurice Collis books, Siamese White is a must-read for anyone who enjoys thrills, excitement, dangerous plots and cunning: a test of brain, a fight against odds and a strength of character against time and purpose.
Maurice Collis gives a straight-forward account of what the English were doing in the East and how the French come to be in Thailand during the time of King Narai.
