The Story of Ramakian
About the printing of a Thai Epic – The Story of Ramakian
This story was originally printed in the Thai year of 2545, with another 7 reprints made since that original. This is an “illustrated” book that has been created mainly to be used as a “Teaching Aid Manual”. This is how we wish to present it to you, as a teaching aid to help you get a better understanding of this part of Thailand’s mythical history. Each chapter of the story also comes with an illustration to emphasize the story and give you a more clear thought, or feeling of the story.
Two Notes:
1. At the bottom of each page is a link to the next page/chapter
2. By clicking on any of the pictures, you can view a large version of that picture.
This Epic has been presented in a long series of short chapters:
