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:
“Imagination places the future world for us either above or below or in reincarnation. We dream of travels throughout the universe: is not the universe within us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. M The mysterious path leads within. In us, or nowhere, lies eternity with its worlds, the past and the future.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“I borrowed today out of the Advocate’s Library, David Hume’s Treatise of Human Nature, but found it so abstruse, so contrary to sound sense and reason, and so drearying its effects on the mind, if it had any, that I resolved to return it without reading it.
”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
