Travels Abroad and Return To Thailand
The popularity of Fáa Bɔ̀ Kân gained Khamsing rising celebrity, which brought with it invitations to travel to Europe, Africa, and the United States in order to lecture on his own work, and Thai literature in general. Khamsing spent the years 1967-68 in America on a Time-Life grant, after which point he returned to Thailand and began contributing regular articles to Sǎŋkhommasàat Pàríthát (Thai: สังคมศาสตร์ปริทัศน์) . These articles, many of which were concerned with social injustice in rural Thailand, were compiled in a 1975 publication known as Kamphɛɛŋ (Thai: กำแพง) .

Famous quotes containing the words travels and/or return:
“In all my travels I never met with any one Scotchman but what was a man of sense: I believe everybody of that country that has any, leaves it as fast as they can.”
—Francis Lockier (1668–1740)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
