Andrew McGregor Marshall--

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_MacGregor_Marshall Raised the stakes in writing about Thai mornarchy. I read his book. It is 4 or 5 stars out of 5. Goes into quite a bit of detail on "accidental" gunshot death of his brother King Mahidol. Also I think the shenanigins of the present playboy king.

Andrew McGregor Marshall--

The late Leo Nichols--I met him and his wife once at a dinner party for "Timber friends." I left Burma in 1980s and heard of his death while working at RFA.
