Teak-Wallah: The Adventures of a Young Englishman in Thailand in the 1920s - Campbell, Reginald

Teak-Wallah: The Adventures of a Young Englishman in Thailand in the 1920s by Campbell, Reginald

Format: Paperback

Published by Oxford University Press, 1986

Here is a bold and entertaining account of the life of a European teak inspector working in the heart of the Thai countryside in the 1920s. Beginning with a description of his voyage, Campbell conveys the adventure and the loneliness, the beauty and the terror, that was the White Man's lot and sprinkles his narrative with pithy anecdotes about his various encounters. Teak-Wallah is an evocative tale of a world that still exists, but in which the European no longer has a role.
