Thai fiction

My friend K. speaks Thai. I once asked her, "How come I never see any Thai books in translation? It's not like I'm not looking. Isn't Thai old enough and South-East Asian enough to have a whole bunch of awesome epics about princes and evil priest-regents and stuff?" And she said "I don't know. I guess I spent most of my time there trying to help street kids." Anyway, now, thanks to Language Hat, I have a whole bunch of things to read, and a bitext corpus for when I'm feeling masochistic.
