Book excerpt: About ninety miles north of Bangkok lies Wat Phra Phut-thabaht or Temple of the Buddha's Footprint. In February 1807, four days before the Magha Puja holy day, and in a tradition stretching back almost two centuries to the Temple's founding, members of Bangkok's royal courts set out on pilgrimage to the Footprint. These are poems of longing, worry, hope, in the form of a nirat, a Thai form in which Sunthorn Phu was a master.
