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) .
