'Sightseeing': Beyond the Tourist's Thailand

In his book, Sightseeing writer Rattawut Lapcharoensap tries to bring readers images of Thailand that go beyond the exotic. The 26-year-old author writes about class struggles, street gangs and innkeepers who mistrust westerners.

He reads from "Farangs," one of the stories in the award-winning collection.
